residual stress

Japanese: 残留応力

Stress trapped inside the material due to rapid cooling. This occurs when the material is not cooled slowly enough and can lead to spontaneous cracking at a later date. / Note: This can be visualized using a polarizing filter.

Residual stress is strain that becomes locked within the glass during the cooling process. It occurs when there is a difference in cooling rates near the slow-cooling point, and if the glass is rapidly cooled below the strain point, the residual stress remains unreleased.

Insufficient cooling can cause spontaneous cracking (annealing cracks) at a later date. This can be visualized as interference colors using a polarizing filter.
