Controlled Fire Polishing for Scratchitti Removal and Glass Resurfacing

本文的目的是开发一种对环境无害的、新颖的再制造工艺，以减轻令人烦恼的刮擦破坏——玻璃表面的永久划痕。在这个提议中，一个创新的方法，控制火抛光，将被使用。强烈的热量只熔化了玻璃板的一薄层。在冷却过程中，表面张力会使划痕均匀。这一过程将使损坏的窗户/门得以再利用，并通过更换新玻璃来消除其他浪费。它为人们提供了更好的生活环境，摆脱了令人不快和讨厌的涂鸦破坏行为。

Hong and Vijay ModiColumbia UniversityAbstractThe objective of this proposal is to develop an environmentally benign, novel re-manufacturing process to relief the bothersome scratchitti vandalism- permanent scratches on the glass surface. In this proposal, an innovative approach, controlled fire polishing, will be used. Intensive heat melts only a thin layer of the glass panel. During the cooling process, the surface tension will even out the scratching indent. The process will enable the reuse of the damaged window/door and eliminate the otherwise waste by replacement new glass. It allows a better living environment for people, rid of the unpleasant and annoying graffiti vandalism.
