Surface-Compression Strengthened Glasses: Some Properties,
Abstract
Some properties of the surface-compression strengthened (SCS) glasses are reviewed including strength, stiffness, density, thermal properties, electrical properties, environmental resistances and parametric standings among materials. Their properties are such that they can now be used in critical components and structures. Tests indicate that those parts of weapons, structures and systems which are made of SCS glass can survive three years, and probably more than ten years, between refurbishment opportunities, and suffer no greater than ten percent deterioration. Their low densities and adequate mechanical properties permit their use in lightweight structures and components. They combine strength with optical transmissivity. Data are missing or inadequate on some high-strength types and on some properties in general. Existing data are sufficient to suggest many advantageous naval uses - mechanical, structural, electrical, optical - which should be explored. (Author)
