THERMALLY TEMPERED GLASS AND METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR THERMAL TEMPERING OF GLASS

A strengthened glass sheet product as well as a process and an apparatus for making the product. The process comprises cooling the glass sheet by non-contact thermal conduction for sufficiently long to fix a surface compression and central tension of the sheet. The process results in thermally stren...

Zusammenfassung:A strengthened glass sheet product as well as a process and an apparatus for making the product. The process comprises cooling the glass sheet by non-contact thermal conduction for sufficiently long to fix a surface compression and central tension of the sheet. The process results in thermally strengthened glass sheets having improved breakage properties.
