Fracture Surface of Thermally Tempered Glass Fracture Surface of Chemically Tempered Glass The Glass Expert Witness at Read Consulting have performed hundreds of glass failure analysis on tempered glass pieces. These include both thermally tempered and chemically tempered glass. Thermally tempered glass has compressive stress on its surfaces. The thickness pf the compressive layer is a […]
Tempered Glass Expert Describes Two Tempered Glass Fracture Surfaces
Glass failure analysis expert witness compares two typical tempered glass fractures. The lower photomicrograph shows a typical thermally tempered glass fracture surface . This piece is from a fully tempered glass sheet. That is; this glass has a surface compression stress of 10,000 psi or more. In addition, the compressive layer on each face is […]
