What is the black area on the windshield?
1 Answers
The black area on the windshield helps distribute heat more evenly and prevents the windshield from cracking. The main functions of an automobile windshield are: 1. Providing timely visibility of external conditions for vehicle occupants, enhancing their field of view; 2. Protecting against wind and rain. Automobile glass is manufactured by heating the glass to near its softening temperature in a furnace, then rapidly transferring it to cooling grids with varying intensities for uneven cooling. This process creates different stress levels between the main viewing area and the peripheral zones, producing what is known as zoned tempered glass. Automobile glass is categorized into laminated glass and tempered glass.
