With both heat-strengthening and tempering, it is possible that glass will develop either optical image distortion or anisotropy, which refers to patterns or visual effects in glass that are not ...
Heat-treated glass provides both durability and safety for many of the world’s most visually breathtaking buildings. Manufacturing heat-treated glass is a complex and multi-step process. Courtesy of ...
Anisotropy refers to strain patterns in the glass from heat treatment, which is not considered a defect in the glass. Visual effects like iridescence can occur, and while anisotropy is not entirely avoidable, it can be quantified during production to ensure consistent results.
