What is Thermal Shock - and the Do's and Don'ts to Avoid It
Thermal shock is damage or failure caused by a rapid change in temperature. When materials are heated, they expand; when cooled, they contract. If a sudden and significant temperature change occurs, the outer surface of a material may expand or contract faster than the inner layers, creating internal stress that can lead to cracking or failure.
