The process of annealing glass relieves internal stresses, which could otherwise leave it susceptible to cracking or shattering in response to minor mechanical or thermal shock.

Cold crucible induction melting offers many advantages over conventional techniques, including higher process temperatures, the ability to handle corrosive or reactive materials, and the production of ultra-pure semiconductors, oxides, and metals.

Certain types of glass offer excellent shielding against radiation, making them indispensable for applications in medicine and the nuclear industry.

Controlled pore glass (CPG) is uniquely suited to numerous filtering, sensing, and bioscience applications due to its structure and surface area. This article explores CPG manufacturing techniques and applications.

The Mo-Sci, ETS Wound Care, and Bekeson Glass families are deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved friend and leader, Ted Day. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, colleagues, and employees.

Sol-gel techniques offer a low-temperature alternative to traditional melt-quenching and can be used to produce materials with incredibly broad applications.

From heat shielding to structural reinforcement, the applications for glass in aerospace are nearly endless.

The viscosity of a glass provides important clues to how it will behave during different processing steps.

The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is a critical parameter to consider in product design. Components under varying conditions must move and expand together to prevent structural damage or gaps that cause seals to fail.

When developing a new glass melt, it is critical that the right crucible is chosen to ensure that the crucible doesn’t crack, deform or contaminate the melt.
