How Corning is Changing the Way We Perceive Automotive Glass

[@larrydugan1441]

I never expected to spend 50 minutes watching a video about glass. Amazing levels of technology in a chunk of glass. Extremely interesting. Thanks Sandy

[@gregeconomeier1476]

Corning really laid out a well organized, presented and informative presentation of their auto products. Thanks to both Munro and Corning.

[@nononsenseBennett]

The more you know the more you know you don't know. That's why Munro Live videos are such a treat. This one was over the top in information. Fascinating material.

[@MunroLive]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@WarrenLacefield]

IMO, Corning, Inc. is one of America's premier companies and an international leader in glass and ceramic research and development as well as manufacture. Gorilla glass probably is something familiar to almost everyone, but the applications for that and even newer technologies go well beyond your iPhone: e.g. from kitchens to vehicles to displays to computer chips to space craft and applications like the Hubble and James Webb telescopes.This is an excellent introductory video, in particular explaining how "acoustic glass," used in new Tesla Model 3's, for instance (but not from Corning, Peru-based AGP is one of their suppliers, I think), actually works. Thank you, Sandy & Munro team and thanks to the Corning folk!

[@jakepagragan5525]

It’s a little nuanced, but Corning just makes the glass… companies like AGP construct the material (like the windshield or side window). That’s why their name is on it….

[@WarrenLacefield]

@@jakepagragan5525 Thanks. It's a big industry. In retrospect, the video demonstrations were designed for potential customers. Those would most likely be other companies and suppliers who use the glass to make things (like windows for cars).

I could lose myself for weeks in those Corning labs learning the minutia of creating various glass types, coatings, etc. I got a bit of that as a photographer and the coatings applied to glass surfaces to keep light scatter down, not to mention various glass formulas (i.e. Schott Glass used by Leica and Zeiss) and lenses made from fluorite and other exotic materials.

[@GuyIncognito764]

Super cool. I met the Corning scientist folks (different than here) at that headquarters back in 2012, but for PV panel glass options. I learned so much from them. It's a solid American company and glass is wicked complex.

[@charlesrovira5707]

Informative and eye-opening. The future looks bright and clear...

[@23billd]

Wow! That was very instructive. To think that Steve Jobs insisted on glass in lieu of plastic for the iPhone and that motivated the development of gorilla glass for the original iPhone in 2007.

[@lennyvalentin6485]

Imagine a smartphone with a plastic display panel, and then a startlingly powerful gust of wind comes down the street picking up sand and grit and depositing some of it in your pocket - which is what actually happened to me the other year - and as your phone bounces around in there together with the grit as you walk, it "polishes" the screen into a scratchy mess. So now you either gotta pay to replace the display, or live with a permanently marred screen for the rest of that phone's natural life... What happened to me is the grit polished my earphone charging case into a mess, but the phone was completely fine, since it had a hardened glass screen. :D

[@hoffinger]

​@@lennyvalentin6485plastic can be polished.

[@dianapennepacker6854]

The glass was actually first developed in the 60s for cars and military I beleive. It didn't work out due to manufacturing or economic issues, and then revisited it with modern techniques. It is pretty interesting. I was just watching a video on something not related, and it touched on gorilla glass on the science they figured out back then. Something about electrons? I cannot remember for the life of me, and I am so mad. It was just like a week ago. Why do I learn things for a day.

[@ryankozak99]

Flexible glass is not new. The Gorilla Glass screen protectors that have been available for phones for many years are far more flexible (because they are thinner as explained in video). A cell phone length of glass can be bent into a "U" shape (70mm radius?). The glass fiber optic cables used for data and laser cutting or welding is also actually glass and are quite flexible too.

[@Reddylion]

Ya but phone size is much smaller compared to though screens in car. And they must take all the road shocks unlike phone glass.

[@henryD9363]

Over a hundred years ago Corning invented Pyrex glass. It's a borosilicate glass. Very strong very low thermal expansion. But in the past few decades they sold the name to a Chinese company. Corning no longer manufactures Pyrex glass for home use. It's now a soda glass. Regarding the Auto industry, the windshield of the Tesla Cybertruck is borosilicate glass. I wonder who makes it. And it would be interesting to know why Tesla chose the VERY expensive borosilicate glass over Corning gorilla Glass for the huge windshield. Very likely because of its significantly superior strength.

[@GilmerJohn]

Good point. Most "consumer" Pyrex today is just "soda glass" that has been tempered. The process doe work well as in many (more than 10) years I've only had one "Pyrex" container fail. It's interesting that the tempered glass can withstand a good amount of thermal stress (e.g.: pouring cold water into a hot container or the reverse.)

[@airheart1]

What we NEED you guys to create is a glass and, whatever kind of contraption needed, so that it can clean itself (no, water sprays really don’t do the trick well) or be completely hydrophobic, everything phobic, so that nothing can stick to the area around a camera’s aperture and obscure the self driving ‘eyes’

[@sparksmcgee6641]

They've had self-cleaning glass for a couple of decades. It takes a while for the particles to fall off. But making something impossible to touch is an unrealistic request.😊

[@airheart1]

@@sparksmcgee6641 everything is impossible, until it isn’t. That’s these guys job lol. We need cameras that can see and not get obstructed by debris.. i dunno the answer.. maybe special phobic glass with a water sprayer or air puffer or something to blow it clean.. but someone better figure it out

[@sparksmcgee6641]

@airheart1 It's out there buy do you really want to pay more to get that instead of just taking a paper towel from the squeegee rack while fueling up and wiping them off? Remember when Mercedes put windshield wipers on their headlights? Was that late 80s???? They didn't matter enough to keep them.

[@airheart1]

@@sparksmcgee6641 you don’t understand the use case I’m talking about. Self driving cars are around the corner. And their eyes are cameras. And those cameras need to be kept clean. Not a little bit.. completely. If we’re going to have a future of safer and more convenient automobile travel, we need a way to keep they eyes of these systems clean. For now, that means multiple cameras.. and they need lenses that can clear ice, snow, rain, mud and bugs.. and whatever else I’m not thinking of.

The Gorilla Glass on my Galaxy smartphones always holds up really well. I don't even bother with the protective film. It's an unnecessary hindrance in my experience.

I'll bite: what make glass, "Gorilla?" There are glass compositions that can be used for stove tops. Spilling water on a burner doesn't usually cause problems. (We did have some chipping when some plastic melted onto the glass.) Is the Gorilla a combination of a special formula with tempering added or what?

[@LogicalNiko]

Yes Corning developed Gorilla Glass in 1960 under the name ‘Project Muscle’. It was originally thought to be best used in aircraft and automotive applications. It was complicated and expensive to manufacture. In 2005 they revisited the project using more modern manufacturing methods and found they could consistently manufacture the material at an increased strength and reasonable cost. There have been about 10 different versions of Gorilla Glass developed since then. Each uses different methods to enhance and alter various properties for more specific applications.

[@zodiacfml]

display glass is interesting as it will be more crucial in future vehicles. exterior glass development im skeptical. I believe we will see more future vehicles with less exterior glass because it helps with manufacturing cost, less noise, more rigid doors, less risk damage. Future cars will have more displays as driving becomes easier or more automated and the exterior cameras are being reused to display the road/environment.

[@bobholland9924]

That looks more workable than transparent aluminum. And tougher too.

We'll see how technology evolves. Personally I foresee Tesla taking lead and displays becoming a thing of the past, more or less, as FSD becomes more prominent. As well as neuralink becoming more prominent, visual data will fall to the background, even though they will hack the optic nerve. Point being that we will simply have a knowledge of higher order concepts without the need for even making visual representations of them.

[@gecho194]

Are there any safety risks to using laminated side glass in a vehicle? Particularly in cases of vehicle submersion where the door cannot be opened so breaking the window (or it having broken in the crash) is your only means of escape. Years ago pre-cell phone days I needed to break a side window to get my keys out of a locked car and it was surprisingly difficult to do. Without a carbide tipped escape tool most people would have great difficulty breaking a regular tempered side window from the inside. Even as an edge case, survival odds probably wouldn't be much higher than the status quo.
