2. Amorphous metal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphous_metal

   The first reported metallic glass was Au 75 Si 25, produced at Caltech by Klement, Willens, and Duwez in 1960. [5] This and other early glass-forming alloys had to be rapidly cooled (on the order of one mega kelvin per second, 10 6 K/s) to avoid crystallization. An important consequence of this was that metallic glasses could be produced in a ...

4. Uranium glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_glass

   Uranium glass is used as one of several intermediate glasses in what is known to scientific glass blowers as a 'graded seal'. This is typically used in glass-to-metal seals such as tungsten and molybdenum or nickel based alloys such as Kovar, as an intermediary glass between the metal sealing glass and lower expansion borosilicate glass.

5. Plate glass - Wikipedia

   Plate glass is often used in windows. Fragment of a Roman window glass plate dated to 1st to 4th century CE. Plate glass, flat glass or sheet glass is a type of glass, initially produced in plane form, commonly used for windows, glass doors, transparent walls, and windscreens. For modern architectural and automotive applications, the flat glass ...

6. Fused quartz - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fused_quartz

   These lenses are used for UV photography, as the quartz glass can be transparent at much shorter wavelengths than lenses made with more common flint or crown glass formulas. Fused quartz can be metallised and etched for use as a substrate for high-precision microwave circuits, the thermal stability making it a good choice for narrowband filters ...

7. Tempered glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempered_glass

   Tempered glass is used for its safety and strength in a variety of applications, including passenger vehicle windows (apart from windshield), shower doors, aquariums, architectural glass doors and tables, refrigerator trays, mobile phone screen protectors, bulletproof glass components, diving masks, and plates and cookware.
