Abstract

Disclosed is a material for a tempering process of glass plates utilizing a so-called contact process. It proposes a material with a base of an arrangement of thin metallic threads exhibiting a heat resistance on the order of 0.25.multidot.10.sup.-3 to 2.5.multidot.10.sup.-3 m.sup.2 .multidot.K.multidot.W.sup.-1 intended to be inserted between the cooling plates and the glass of a contact-tempering installation. The process makes it possible to temper glazings sufficiently so that they are used as automobile glazings and the durability of this thread-based material is compatible with an industrial usage.
