Thermally Tempering Open End Glass Containers.

Abstract

A recent ARRADCOM exploratory development program required a high strength glass container suitable for mass production. This need led to a study of the available methods presently used to strengthen and ultimately to the development of a simple technique to thermally temper a glass article. The purpose of this report is to acquaint the reader with some of the more practical methods available to improve the strength of glass for engineering applications, with the major emphasis placed on the thermal tempering process, as related to glass containers. Thermal tempering methods, apparatus used and the results of actual tests performed are discussed in detail. (Author)
