What Does GFA Stand For?

GFA stands for Glass Forming Ability

GFA, or Glass Forming Ability, refers to a material's capacity to be transformed into glass through a cooling process that prevents crystallization. This property is crucial in the production of various glass materials, as it influences the ease of shaping, molding, and achieving desired optical and mechanical characteristics. GFA is often assessed through thermal analysis and is a key factor in the development of new glass compositions and manufacturing techniques.
