Environmental Applications Flashcards
High mass impact for lenses
Drop ball test
Steel ball dropped from 50inches
High velocity impact
Pointed projective, fired at 150ft/sec
What are the two tests used to verify resistance
High mass impact (drop ball test)
High velocity impact
Glasses designed to be impact resistance: heat treatment
Tempering or toughening glass lenses, lenses are a heated to about 700C for 2-3 minutes and then cooled rapidly with both surfaces fannaed simultaneouslt
-the outside of the lens will cool first and shrink, thereby pulling inward on the outer layers. This creates tension or stress and result in outer protective shell and 2-3 times greater impact resistance
Making glass impact resistance: chemical treatment
Chemical tempering, the process of increasing the impact of resistance of glass lenses by immersing them in a bath of molten potassium nitrate
-this induces an exchange of the sodium ions in the glass surface with the 30% larger potassium ions. The result in a more tightly packed surface layer that creates a layer of tension
______ treatment of glass results in greater impact resistance
Chemical
_____ treatment of glass can be applied to objects of complex shape
Chemical
_____ treatment of glass is quick
Heat
_____ treatment equipment for glass is inexpensive
Heat
How is glass tempering verified
Polariscope
- consists of two polarized filters, one on the top and one on the bottom of the instrument with their absorption are perpendicular (cross polarized)
- a normal lenses placed between the Dolores appears uniformly dark
- a tempered lens will demonstrate stress partners: Maltese cross
- polariscopes rarely found in practice CEO’s
