As the flat glass is heated to be thermally strengthened, 19 which takes a few minutes, there is an opportunity for performing a surface modification. We describe 20 the application of transparent and amorphous Al2O3 thin films during the thermal strengthening process. 21 Al2O3 was chosen due to the following desirable properties: increased surface mechanical properties 22 and increased chemical durability, the latter has not been investigated in the current paper. The residual 23 surface compressive stresses after performed strengthening of the coated glasses were quantified to 24 be in the range of 80-110 MPa. The Al2O3 content in the surface was measured using the Surface 25 Ablation Cell employed with Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy and found to 26 be at least doubled at the surface and having an increased Al2O3 content at least 0.5 µm underneath 27 the glass surface.

Introduction Improperly specified, installed or maintained, sight glasses can easily become the weakest link in a chemical or pharmaceutical processing system. They may provide less than needed observation capabilities, they may require frequent maintenance and replacement, they may be difficult to illuminate and, in worst case, they may actually fail, endangering workers and causing extensive destruction and downtime.

  • Borosilicate Glass 3.3 – DIN 7080
    Continental Trade Sp. z o.o.

In those ingredients, boron and silicon have high content: boron 12,5 – 13,5 %, silicon 78 – 80 %. SiO2 80 % B2O3 13 % Na2O 4 % Al2O3 2 % K2O 1 % Trade The feature of borosilicate glass 3.3 is that it has low thermal expansion coefficient, good thermal stability, chemical durability and electric property. Therefore, it’s chemical resistant, heat resistant and mechanical property is excellent. So borosilicate glass is also called heat resistance glass. Borosilicate glass 3.3 can be milled, drilled, grounded and toughened. Its low coefficient of thermal expansion, high thermal shock resistance and ability to work at temperatures up to 450 ° C for a long period of time, make this type of glass particularly suitable for use in stable temperature conditions. Is suitable for operation at low temperatures. This glass can withstand the temperature to about -196 °C (is suitable for use in contact with liquid nitrogen). During thawing ensure that the temperature difference does not exceed 100 K. In general is recommended for use down to - 70 °C. This glass is extremely resistant to water, alkalis, acids and organic substances.

    glass for the future www.controlglass.com With the experience obtained in the last 20 years, Control Glass has suc- ceeded in gathering all the processes a glass processor of the 21st cen- tury should offer to the glass professionals. With the new plant in Platea (Teruel) for the production of curved laminated and tempered glass we have become one of the most polyvalent glass groups in Europe, being able to offer the widest range of processed products, with the capacity to combine different processes such as laminating, tempering, bending, double glazing or printed with ceramic inks. We have over 50.000 m2 between factories, warehouses and technical offices, distributed around all over Europe, enabling us to deliver our pro- ducts to any point of the world. All our glasses meet the high demands of the applicable European Norms and also the Technical Building Code, which through the European Directive “Products for Buildings” 89/106/CE imposes the marking and declaration of technical characteristics of buil- ding products permanently incorporated in the building site. The “Obligatory CE Marking” allows for the manufacture and sale of the products within the European Union and requires a satisfactory evaluation of the products in accor- dance with the corresponding harmonized norms and with the applicable certificate of conformity. You can request the obligatory CE Marking of the products that Control Glass manufac- tures and selles through their web site: www.controlglass.com On the other hand, Control Glass has proved its commitment through the quality of its products and its customer care by obtaining the voluntary product certification for APPLUS double glazing units for all its factory units, as well as the global voluntary cer- tification according to the Quality Assurance System ISO 9001-2008, supported by the British Standards Institution certifying authority.

    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-22595-1 OPEN Explosive fragmentation of Prince Rupert’s drops leads to well-defined fragment sizes ✉ Stefan Kooij 1 , Gerard van Dalen2, Jean-François Molinari 3 & Daniel Bonn1 Anyone who has ever broken a dish or a glass knows that the resulting fragments range from roughly the size of the object all the way down to indiscernibly small pieces: typical fragment size distributions of broken brittle materials follow a power law, and therefore lack a char- 1234567890():,; acteristic length scale. The origin of this power-law behavior is still unclear, especially why it is such an universal feature. Here we study the explosive fragmentation of glass Prince Rupert’s drops, and uncover a fundamentally different breakup mechanism. The Prince Rupert’s drops explode due to their large internal stresses resulting in an exponential frag- ment size distribution with a well-defined fragment size. We demonstrate that generically two distinct breakup processes exist, random and hierarchical, that allows us to fully explain why fragment size distributions are power-law in most cases but exponential in others. We show experimentally that one can even break the same material in different ways to obtain either random or hierarchical breakup, giving exponential and power-law distributed fragment sizes respectively. That a random breakup process leads to well-defined fragment sizes is surprising and is potentially useful to control fragmentation of brittle solids. 1 Van der Waals-Zeeman Institute, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. 2 Unilever Research and Development Vlaardingen, Olivier van Noortlaan, Vlaardingen, The Netherlands.
