Glass processing can be divided into two main categories: hot processing and cold processing, but 'glass hot breaking processing' and 'glass cold breaking processing' are not standard industry terms.
However, we can provide some explanations and speculations on these two concepts based on common knowledge and related information in the field of glass processing.
Glass hot processing
Glass hot processing refers to the process of working with glass at high temperatures. The principle of hot processing mainly utilizes the characteristic that the viscosity of glass changes with temperature, as well as the effect of low thermal conductivity and surface tension contraction.
Through hot processing, the shape, properties, and appearance quality of glass can be altered. During the hot processing process, glass can be softened, shaped, cut, or drilled.
For example, flame cutting and drilling involve using a high-speed flame to locally heat the glass to a melting flow state, then using high-speed airflow or internal air pressure to cut or form holes in the glass.
'Glass hot breaking processing' is not a common term because during hot processing, glass is usually not directly 'broken' but rather reshaped through melting and forming methods.
If it must be associated with 'breaking', it may refer to breaking the glass while in a molten state through some means (such as mechanical cutting or laser cutting) during the hot processing.
However, this method is not common and is usually classified as part of the cutting stage in hot processing.
Glass cold processing
'Glass cold processing' refers to working with glass at room temperature. Cold processing has advantages such as safety, economy, and environmental friendliness; it does not cause deformation or distortion in glass.
Cold processing is commonly used to change the shape and surface condition of glass products through operations like grinding, polishing, cutting, engraving, drilling, sandblasting, etc.
These operations typically require specialized equipment and tools while adhering to strict process flows and quality control standards.
'Glass cold breaking processing' can be understood as operations involving cutting or breaking glass during cold processing.
Especially on float glass production lines when glass sheets are cut into specific sizes; they may need to be broken using a breaking device (such as automatic breaking mode, natural breaking mode, manual breaking mode) for subsequent stacking and transportation. These operations require precise control over cutting and breaking force, angle, and speed to ensure that the glass products meet design requirements and usage standards.
Summary
'Glass hot breaking processing' is not a common term; however,'glass cold breaking processing' can be understood as operations involving cutting or breaking glass during cold processing.
Whether for hot or cold processing methods should be chosen based on specific needs for machining and characteristics of the glass material.
At the same time, strict control over process parameters and quality standards is necessary during machining to ensure product quality and performance.
