What is Tempered glass and The production steps of Tempered glass

Hangzhou Blue-Sky Safety Glass Co., Ltd. was established in 2000, China Safety Glass Manufacturers and Suppliers, focusing on glass processing and related production for 22 years. We have a lot of products,such as Tempered glass, also known as toughened glass, is a type of safety glass that is designed to be stronger and more resistant to impact than regular glass. It is made by heating regular glass to a high temperature and then rapidly cooling it. This process creates a surface layer of compression and an interior layer of tension, which gives tempered glass its characteristic strength and durability.Tempered glass is commonly used in a variety of applications where safety and durability are important, such as automotive windows, shower doors, architectural glass, and electronic device screens. When tempered glass breaks, it shatters into small, rounded pieces rather than sharp, jagged shards, which helps to prevent injury in the event of an accident.To ensure the quality and safety of tempered glass, it must be manufactured to strict standards and undergo rigorous testing to ensure it meets industry standards and regulations.

Then,The production of tempered glass typically involves the following steps:Cutting: The glass is cut to the desired size and shape using a diamond-edged cutter.Cleaning: The glass is thoroughly cleaned to remove any dirt, oil, or other contaminants that could interfere with the tempering process.Heating: The glass is heated in a special oven to a temperature of around 620°C (1150°F). The temperature is carefully controlled to ensure that the glass is heated evenly.Cooling: After heating, the glass is rapidly cooled by a blast of cool air. This causes the surface of the glass to cool and contract more quickly than the interior, creating a layer of compression on the surface and a layer of tension in the interior.Testing: The tempered glass is then tested to ensure that it meets industry standards and regulations for strength and safety. This may involve checking for visual defects, measuring the thickness and flatness of the glass, and subjecting it to impact and stress tests.Finishing: After testing, the tempered glass may be cut, drilled, or polished as needed to achieve the desired shape and finish.

Overall, the production of tempered glass requires careful attention to detail and strict adherence to industry standards to ensure that the finished product is strong, durable, and safe for use in a variety of applications.
