Method of thermally tempering glass laminates using selective microwave heating and active cooling

摘要

A system and method for thermally tempering a glass laminate comprising a core layer and cladding layers fused to both sides of the core layer, the glass laminate being at a temperature between the annealing point and the softening point of the core layer. The steps of preheating, actively cooling the glass laminate and selectively heating the glass laminate using microwave radiation to provide a temperature difference of at least about 30 ° C. between the core layer and the cladding layer. And generating.
