Glass-Ceramic
Glass-ceramics are materials initially formed as a molten glass, then carefully cooled to develop a controlled crystalline structure within the glass. This combination results in a material that retains the transparency and moldability of glass while gaining enhanced strength, durability, and thermal stability like ceramics. They are used in applications such as cookware, electronics, and dental materials, offering benefits like resistance to heat, scratching, and chemical corrosion. The manufacturing process allows precise control over their properties, making glass-ceramics versatile and functional for various industrial and consumer products.
