Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The advantages of use of glass-ceramic over glasses or ceramics should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Glass-ceramic is manufactured and controlled by the crystal structure of glasses, whereas the glass is manufactured by melting the mixture of sand and ceramics and followed by heating and cooling subsequently.

The advantage of glass-ceramic is the formability and density and they have properties of both glass and ceramic.

They have various advantages like main fabrication and have several properties like zero porosity, high strength, toughness, high-temperature sustainability to700 degree Celsius, etc.

The most important property is the thermochemical property.
