What Causes Wavy Patterns on Car Glass?
1 Answers
Wavy patterns on car glass refer to continuous undulations visible on the glass surface, which can sometimes be felt by touch in severe cases. There are primarily four reasons for this phenomenon: 1. Furnace Temperature: Excessive temperature or prolonged heating time in the tempering furnace. This can be resolved by adjusting tempering process parameters, reducing the heating temperature or shortening the heating time. 2. Roller Deformation: Bent or deformed rollers, or individual rollers exceeding diameter/height specifications. This can be fixed by replacing or adjusting roller height. 3. Roller Rotation: Slow rotation or transmission speed of rollers. The solution is to appropriately increase roller rotation or transmission speed. 4. Cooling Process: During the tempering cooling phase, glass makes reciprocating movements on the roller bed of the furnace's cooling device. If the rapid cooling temperature is too high or air pressure too low during this stage, it can cause wavy bending of the glass surface. In such cases, furnace temperature and heating time should be promptly reduced.
