Which outcome during rapid cooling impedes glass tempering?

A)Tensile stress near the surface
B)Formation of crystalline structures
C)Uniform density distribution
D)Decreased thermal expansion coefficient

💡 Explanation

Crystallization hinders glass tempering because phase transition introduces structural defects. Differential thermal contraction exacerbates these flaws during quenching; therefore, temper strength decreases rather than increases due to uniform density or tensile stress changes.
