A close view of ceramic glaze crazing. Crazing is the phenomenon that produces a network of fine cracks on the surface of a material, for example in a glaze layer. Crazing frequently precedes fracture in some glassy thermoplastic polymers. Crazing occurs in regions of high hydrostatic tension, or in regions of very localized yielding, which leads to the formation of interpenetrating microvoids and small fibrils. If an applied tensile load is sufficient, these bridges elongate and break, causing the microvoids to grow and coalesce; as
Description: The heavy thatch tile is a denser tile that contains more Cape reed than standard African tiles. The âfanning outâ ability of the tile is better and therefore used at the top of a circular structure. The heavy tile is used to cover the top 2 rows of a circular structure â just below the top cone. The tiles are also often used in the place of the standard Cape reed tiles to enlarge the diameter of an umbrella or to provide a larger overhang. 2  Our Combination Cape reed thatch tiles are one of our proudest inventions. 3  This tile is the ultimate tile.
