A game-changing glass: metals with a glassy structure are shaping up as the next hot material. These glasses can be stronger than steel and a recent development means that they could find their way into aerospace, automotive and biomedical applications.(News feature)King, Anthony...
Is steel stronger than glass? Iron sights are better than optical sights or fighting rifles, or are they?Smith, Clint
(Phys.org)—A team of researchers with The University of Tokyo and Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute has created a type of glass that is stronger than many metals. In their paper published in the journalScientific Reports, the researchers describe how they overcame one of the major ...

This has many applications, ranging from bicycle tires and racing sails to bulletproof vests, because of its high tensile strength-to-weight ratio; by this measure, it is 5 times stronger than steel. It is also used to make modern drumheads that withstand high impact. When used as a woven...
The 99.5% alumina is stronger and harder than the 97.5% alumina. Typical data for these properties are shown in Table 4.7. Secondary phases at the grain boundaries commonly arise from solidification of phases that turn to liquid during sintering. Secondary phases can be glassy (amorphous) or ...
inducing compressive stresses to the surface while the center remains tensile. The result is fully tempered glass 4-5 times stronger than annealed glass of equal thickness.Tempered glass is widely used in our daily life, such as bathroom doors, tea table tops...
2. Stronger resistance to thermal breakage than annealed or heat strengthened glass 3.4-5 times stronger than annealed glass of the same thickness. 4. It withstands abrupt temperature change of 220° C. 5. Sizes are produced per customer request, once tempered, cannot be cut ...
A new apparatus for asymmetric heating of metallic glass can help these stronger-than-steel alloys avoid catastrophic failure. The random atomic structure of metallic glasses makes them tough and flexible, but also imparts uneven fatigue resistance that can cause cracks to form unexpectedly. Wookha ...
Tempered glass is made by heating ordinary glass to its softening point and then suddenly cooling down to form compression in the surface layer of the glass, which processing make full tempered glass above 4 times stronger than annealed glass of equal thickness.Charact...
