Abstract
Glass is an essential component of several sectors which significantly form our present-day economy. These include machining, the chemical industry, the electrotechnology industry, construction, the automobile industry, the aviation industry and many others. The aim of this article is to provide some detail about and explain the technology used for manufacturing glass which is subsequently used in the automobile and aviation industries and the specific adaptations which help to improve its characteristics. A general trend is increasing the share of final products having high added value, which is done by finishing glass with special processes of surface modifications, mechanical treatment and thermodynamic processes with targeted special traits, including a wide scale of functional coatings.
Highlights
A good view in a straight direction is a basic demand with the development of glass design
It is resistant to water and other atmospheric influences. It does not contain a crystal structure and does not have a defined melting point. It is made for more demanding glazing work, for the manufacture of mirrors, insulated double glass and mainly for the production of safety hardened and layered glass for buildings, automobiles and the aviation industry
All of the glass used today in the aviation industry is without exception laminated for its increased safety and endurance, which is guaranteed by legislative requirements of the individual countries with the help of homologization procedures, which have undergone several years of development
