An investigation into the effect upon flexural strength of different methods of cutting float glass and sintered recycled container glass

Doolan, S; Oseng-Rees, T; Ferriz-Papi, JA

Abstract

This paper outlines an investigation into the effect upon edge quality and flexural strength in 10mm float and sintered recycled container glass of different methods of cutting: hand diamond-scoring, diamond sawing and abrasive waterjet cutting. The research made use of a four-point-loading method to determine flexural strength and a surface roughness meter to assess the cut edge quality.

The paper discusses the results and presents areas for further research.
