On the Mohs hardness scale glass is harder than steel. Mohs hardness tests the ability of one material to scratch another. Steel is rated 4 to 4.5 and glass is rated at 6 to 7.

Glass is harder than steel, but it is more fragile and will break much easier. There are many different ways to measure strength. Here is a wikipedia article about the strength of materials: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials
What else can I help you with?
Are diamonds really stronger than glass?
Yes, diamonds are much harder than glass. Diamonds score a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, while glass typically scores around 5.5. This means diamonds are more resistant to scratching and are considered one of the hardest known substances.
Does iron heat faster than glass?
Iron typically heats up faster than glass because iron has higher thermal conductivity. This means that heat transfers more quickly through iron than through glass, allowing iron to reach higher temperatures faster. Glass, on the other hand, has lower thermal conductivity and heats up more slowly.
Is Prince Rupert's drop harder than diamond?
No, Prince Rupert's drop is not harder than diamond. Diamond is one of the hardest known natural materials, while Prince Rupert's drop is a glass object that is not as hard as diamond.
Will fake diamond cut glass?
Your answer depends on the composition of the 'fake diamond' and the composition of glass. Each mineral has a rating on the Mohs Scale of hardness. The harder mineral will scratch the softer mineral.
Why is it so hard to push a glass under water?
The Glass is so hard to push underwater because air has less density than water, so it floats. This causes the glass to have an air bubble inside of it, thus making the glass harder and harder to push down.
What is odd one out steel glass iron tin?
Glass is the odd one out because it is not a metal, unlike steel, iron, and tin.
What element in glass does not shatter easily?
the harder one
What hardness does a mineral have if it is scratched by glass but scratches an iron nail?
It would have to be 5.0 because glass has a hardness of 5.5 and an iron nail has the hardness of 4.5
Are hamster glass tanks harder to clean out?
Not at all i had one not hard at all.
What is mohs scale of glass and iron?
The Mohs scale rates the relative hardness of minerals on a scale from 1 to 10. Glass typically falls between a 5 and 6 on the Mohs scale, while iron is harder and falls between a 4 and 5.
Between glass copper stainless steel and cast iron which one holds heat longer?
Cast iron holds heat longer compared to glass, copper, stainless steel.
How do you separate iron and powdered glass?
One method to separate iron and powdered glass is by using a magnet. The iron particles can be attracted to the magnet, allowing them to be collected while the powdered glass remains behind. Alternatively, the mixture can be subjected to a process called sieving where the powdered glass and iron can be separated based on their particle sizes.
Which mineral is harder than iron?
Diamond is harder than iron. Diamond is the hardest known natural mineral and can scratch iron.
What is stronger diamond or iron?
iron is harder to defeeted
Is iron harder than steel?
Yes, Absolutely......... Gold is softer than Iron... Gold becomes Harder because of other components that is being added like Silver and Copper. They add these components to add strength into the Jeweleries.
What are some of the benefits by using a cast iron casserole as opposed to a glass one?
Cast Iron is less likely to break than glass and provides a better cooking surface
Is an iron bar harder to bend than a lead bar of the same size?
