ANNEALING AND TEMPERING (INTRODUCTORY TRAINING)
Many applications rely heavily on glass’s mechanical properties. Bottles must withstand internal pressure; architectural and automotive glazing must withstand external impacts; ovenware must handle extreme temperature changes; and plane windshields must resist high-speed impacts with birds. This program provides important knowledge to improve the strength of glass products.
Contents
• Glass composition (soda-lime, borosilicate, crystal) and atomic structure
• From structure to Young’s modulus and thermal expansion coefficient
• The key role of glass surface condition
• Thermal shock resistance
• Relaxing stress: annealing
• Tailoring stress: heat strengthening and tempering
• Special glasses and chemical tempering
After the training you will
• Understand why various glass types have different characteristics
• Recognize the significance of protecting the surface of glass
• Estimate a glass product’s thermal shock resistance
• Calculate a theoretical annealing schedule for optimal glass relaxation
• Understand how tempering plays with stress and improves the mechanical resistance of glass
