Why Did the Glass Suddenly Shatter?
1 Answers
There are several reasons that may cause the glass to suddenly shatter: 1. It may be due to external force damage, such as bumps during transportation or intentional striking. 2. It could also be caused by defects in the glass manufacturing process, such as bubbles, cracks, or impurities present during production. 3. Installation factors, such as insufficient clearance during installation or direct contact between the glass and the frame, which can create pressure on the edges or corners of the glass, leading to shattering. 4. For tempered glass, spontaneous breakage is mainly caused by nickel sulfide inclusions. After rapid cooling, the nickel sulfide inside the tempered glass transforms from the high-temperature a-phase to the low-temperature b-phase, resulting in volume expansion and causing the glass to break.
