Tempered glass belongs to safety glass. Tempered glass is actually a type of pre-stressed glass. To improve the strength of glass, chemical or physical methods are usually used to form compressive stress on the surface of the glass. When the glass is subjected to external forces, it first offsets the surface stress, thereby improving its load-bearing capacity, enhancing its own resistance to wind pressure, heat and cold, and impact.
Tempered glass is obtained by cutting ordinary annealed glass into the required size, heating it to around 700 degrees near the softening point, and then rapidly and evenly cooling it (usually 5-6MM glass is heated for about 240 seconds and cooled for about 150 seconds at a high temperature of 700 degrees. 8-10MM glass is heated for about 500 seconds and cooled for about 300 seconds at a high temperature of 700 degrees. In short, the time for heating and cooling varies depending on the thickness of the glass). After tempering, uniform compressive stress is formed on the surface of the glass, while tensile stress is formed inside, which improves the bending and impact strength of the glass, which is about four times stronger than ordinary annealed glass. Tempered glass that has been tempered and treated must not be subjected to any further cutting, grinding, or damage, otherwise it will be shattered due to the disruption of uniform compressive stress balance. Luoyang Gangxin specializes in producing glass tempering furnaces and glass tempering equipment.
