Japanese scientists smelted safety glass
Japanese scientists have been able to smelt safety glass, on the strength comparable to steel. This effect, as the local media, has been achieved by increasing the proportion of aluminum oxide in the composition of the material.
"We will soon develop methods for mass production of this unique window" - promises one of the developers, professor of Tokyo Institute of Industrial Science Atsunobu Masuno. As expected, the new product will be able to bring to the market within five years.
"Predecessor" of this material is another type of safety glass, which is called the oxide. The main constituent element in its creation is silica. Durability is achieved by the addition of its constituent alumina.
The main task, which scientists had to solve, was the modernization of the production process - now the components are mixed is not in a container, and the air - literally on the fly, which, thanks to a neutral environment, there is no crystallization, which prevents complete production of glass.
As a result, according to the inventors succeeded in obtaining a completely transparent dense glass is half composed of aluminum oxide. The strength of the new material is almost two times higher than its counterpart of the oxide and is flush with the steel and iron.
