The porcelain enameling industry consists of at least 116 plants enameling approximately 150 million square meters (150 km2) of steel, iron, aluminum, and copper each year (each coat of multiple coats is considered in this total). Porcelain enameling is the application of glass-like coatings to the metals mentioned above. The purpose of the coating is to improve resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and water, and to improve thermal stability, electrical resistance, and appearance. The coating...

The applications of glass/glass-ceramic matrix composites (CMC) can be divided into two specific categories aerospace applications and non-aerospace applications. In aerospace applications, performance is the prime consideration, while in non-aerospace applications cost-effectiveness is paramount. The characteristic properties of materials for aerospace applications should be...

The development and extensive application of glasses other than lead and soda has resulted in much research into the properties of metals and their suitability for glass to metal seals. As a result vacuum tight seals of sufficient mechanical and thermal strength for normal use, and varying from tiny wires carrying current to micro lamps, to heavy mngsten rods in...

This short overview cannot consider other important applications of glass in the creation of art objects, such as mirrors, reverse paintings on glass, enamels (glass fused on copper, silver or gold) and jewellery. 

Burrell ( ) has given an excellent exposition of the application of glass transition temperatures to coatings. One example will illustrate how this concept unifies the interpretation of the performance of various types of coatings films.
