Tempered glass has become an indispensable part of human life, from doors and windows of buildings and vehicles to screen covers for smart electronic devices, and tempered glass can be seen everywhere. Among them, Corning's "Gorilla" series of glass is one of the best. But in the near future, it may be that the "gorilla" will be " laid off" because scientists have announced that transparent aluminum based on metal aluminum has been successfully developed.
Aluminum itself is a very opaque substance that can be made of a transparent glass-like object made of aluminum. It can't help but sigh the power of modern technology. The essence of transparent aluminum is actually an aluminum-magnesium alloy, mainly composed of magnesium aluminate. According to Dr. JasSanghera, inventor of the transparent aluminum, the US Naval Research Laboratory, the method of making this transparent aluminum is not as difficult as imagined, as long as the magnesium alloy powder is pressed in the right way in a vacuum environment, the air is compressed. Extrusion, a transparent aluminum alloy is finally obtained.
Dr. Sanghera described the new material as “a magnesium aluminate mineral†that is stronger and stronger than ordinary glass. In special circumstances, it provides greater protection against sand and rain. Therefore, it is extremely suitable for use in the fields of building peripheral curtain wall, automobile window glass, and headwear. He further described the specific manufacturing process of this material and believed that it could be used in applications such as bulletproof glass after further polishing.
At present, the manufacturing cost of such "transparent aluminum" is still quite high, and there is still a certain distance from the real practical use. But in fact, the early cost of various tempered glass is still high. I believe that in time, scientists will be able to find the best solution to make this transparent aluminum popular. If it goes well, people may still see this new type of "glass" used in mobile phones, smart wearable devices and other fields.
