Glass is an extremely strong material in a perfect condition. However, glass is only as strong as its weakest point. Meaning that dealing with weakening features such as forming issues, damage or inclusions at the earliest point will reduce the risk of a much larger problem. This webinar focuses on how teamwork both inside and outside Glass Technology Services can help to eliminate these issues.
What you will learn about:
Common glass failure modes
Common glass quality issues
Types of fracture analysis
Types and sources of glass inclusions
Cross- departmental case studies
