Glass appears in our life in various forms, with the change of time, the process of continuous With the change of time and the development of technology, glass has developed from single function to multi-function, safety and environmental protection. Being in the city

It is impossible to distinguish the many kinds of glass. Glass is always present in our life, and different functions Different functions and colors of glass can decorate our environment more bright, bright and gorgeous. In architectural design, architectural glass has been widely used. In architectural design, architectural glass has been widely used, to use glass, we must first learn to understand glass.

·The nature of tempered glass

The main advantages of tempered glass

The glass is treated to produce a uniform compressive stress on the surface, which increases the mechanical strength and stability of the glass, and it s strength is 3 - 10 times that of well annealed glass, impact resistance is also greatly improved.

Tempered glass will break is a mesh crack, or produce small particles, rounded, will not hurt people, so also known as safety glass.

Tempered glass has good thermal impact resistance, the maximum safe working temperature of 287.87, and can withstand 204.44 hot and cold temperature difference, so it can be used to manufacture high-temperature furnace doors on the observation window, radiation gas and dryer etc.

·Characteristics of tempered glass

Tempered glass is high-quality float glass heated close to the softening point, the surface of the glass cooled rapidly, so that Compression stress is distributed on the surface of the glass while the tension stress is in the center layer because there is a strong and equal compressive stress so that the external pressure generated by the tension|stress is offset by the strong compressive stress of the glass, thereby increasing the safety of the glass. The glass surface is then compressed in the center layer because there is a strong and equal compressive stress.

A. Increased strength: The mechanical strength, impact resistance and bending strength of tempered glass can reach 4-5 times that of ordinary glass. 4-5 times of ordinary glass.

B. Improved thermal stability: Tempered glass can withstand huge temperature difference without breaking, and resist the change of temperature difference. The ability is 3 times of the same thickness of ordinary float glass.

C、Improved safety: Tempered glass quickly shows tiny obtuse angle particles after being broken by strong force, so as to maximize personal safety. ensure personal safety to the greatest extent. Application furniture, electronic appliances industry, construction, decoration industry, bath room

automobile, escalator, and other places where safety and temperature difference are especially needed, and can be used as the raw sheet of insulating glass and laminated glass.

·Concluding remarks

Tempered glass is used in various forms in buildings, such as curtain walls, partition walls, windows, doors, staircases and sunrooms. Tempered glass is a kind of safety glass, but we must recognize the fact that glass is a very brittle material, so there can be no absolutely safe glass.

Safety glass is only in the event of an accident, the harm to the human body is relatively small. When choosing architectural glass Also give due consideration to the characteristics of tempered glass, for safety reasons be careful to use a single piece of tempered glass, especially in public Building places. In the application of tempered glass, we can consider the combination of a variety of glass to fully consider the safety, comfort and economy of the building. The actual situation of safety, comfort and economy of the building!
