Effect of quick consecutive cooling/heating or heating/cooling on matter?

Featured Replies

I'd like to ask about the effect of sudden heating just after super cooling on whatever material(metal, aluminuim, gold,...etc.) or vice versa(sudden cooling just after great heating), I think it differs who is first, super cooling or great heating.

why does Pyrex break of such effect knowing that Pyrex manufactured to withstand heat.

regardless Pyrex glass, I am thinking about the chemical or physical phenomena after such consecutive change in temperature on any object/material.

any help much appreciated, thanks in advance.

When cooling a material and then heating it, some parts get heated, and thus expanding, more than others. And, that's why it could break. The more quikly the heating, the more liability to breaking.
