The article presents research to confirm or exclude the presence of nickel sulphide inclusions in tempered glass as the cause of spontaneous glass breakage. Inclusions analyzed using samples taken from tempered glass, which were destroyed a few years after installation on facades of buildings without the interference of external mechanical influences. As a result of SEMmicroscopy analysis in the testedmicroareas inclusions has been shown a high content of elements S (from17.5%to 26.9%); Ni (from37.9%to 45.1%), and Fe (0.3 – 0.9%), which proves the presence of nickel sulfide in the glass. This explains the cause and the mechanism of spontaneous destruction of the glass.
Keywords: tempered glass, NiS inclusions, cracking glass.
