Abstract
Window glasses in prolonged contact with water develop
relatively thick layer crusts due to attack of corrosive environment.
In the present study the corrosion behaviour of
polished window glasses in plain water and- in the presence
of sulphate and fluoride as well as chloride aggressive ions
in water have been examined at atmospheric temperature
ranging from 25°to 30°C. A study regarding the morphological
changes in upper layer of window glasses bas been
carried out with the help of optical microscopy. From these
studies, it is evident that the attack on window glasses is
much more in the presence of sulphate and fluoride aggressive
ions as compared to that of chloride ions. Transmittance
of corroded window glasses bas also been recorded.
