Some Notes on Toughened Plate Glass

JSGT 1933 V17 T149-T168

 The paper gives a brief outline of the principles involved and the methods employed in the process of toughening plate glass. Present technical limitations as regards size and thickness are stated, and a probable theory of the structure of toughened plate glass is discussed. Descriptions are given of tests which have been devised to demonstrate the properties of the toughened plate glass, and figures comparing its behaviour with that of ordinary untoughened plate glass are quoted.
