Physically speaking, glass is a rather unusual material. Most solid materials are significantly ‘ordered’ with their constituent molecules or atoms in a regular arrangement, repeating patterns called ...

All interested parties in the glass industry are invited to participate in the development of a proposed new standard guide for the safe handling of annealed glass. The new standard will be developed ...

Glass is heat-treated for two reasons: the first is to increase its strength to resist external stresses such as wind and snow loads, or thermal loads caused by the sun’s energy. The second is to ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- In June 2013, Glen Brunken was meeting a friend for lunch. But that lunch never happened. The 69-year-old retired art professor from Slippery Rock University fell through the ...

IT is true that such theoretical work on problems associated with annealing of glass must be of a tentative nature until adequately supported by experiments, but its value lies in that it provides ...

EVERYONE who makes chemical apparatus by blowing glass practises annealing in a rude way. by allowing the glass to cool slowly by g actual removal from the flame, or by the use of a smoky flame. In ...
