How strong is the toughened glass?
advantages
Toughened glass
The first is that the strength is several times higher than ordinary glass, bending.
The second is the use of safety, its carrying capacity increased to improve the fragile quality, even if toughened glass damage is also a small fragment of an acute Angle, the damage to the human body is greatly reduced. ; The thermal properties of toughened glass are 3~5 times higher than that of ordinary glass, and generally can withstand the temperature difference of more than 250 degrees, which has obvious effect on preventing thermal cracking. It's one of the safety glasses. To guarantee the safety of qualified materials for high-rise buildings.
disadvantages
Disadvantages of toughened glass:
1. After the tempered glass cannot be cut and processed, the glass can only be processed to the desired shape before being toughened and then tempered.
2. Although the strength of tempered glass is stronger than ordinary glass, the steel glass has the possibility of self-implosion, while ordinary glass does not have the possibility of self-implosion.
3. The surface of toughened glass will have uneven phenomenon (wind spot), with slight thickness thinning. Thinning because glass after thermal softening, after a strong wind make its rapid cooling, the internal crystal glass gap smaller, pressure change, so after the toughened glass than in front of the steel to be thin. In general, 4-6mm glass becomes thinner 0.2-0.8mm after toughening, and 8-20mm glass becomes 0.9-1.8mm after toughening. Depending on the device, the fireproof steel door is also the reason that toughened glass can't mirror.
4. The plate glass of the building used after the steel furnace (physical steel) is usually deformed, and the deformation degree is determined by the equipment and technicians. To a certain extent, it affects the decorative effect (except special needs).
