[Subject]An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a
chemically strengthened glass plate having a
high surface compressive stress with high efficiency using a soda-
lime glass, the composition of which is not particularly suited for chemical strengthening.[Solution]The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a
chemically strengthened glass plate by
ion-exchanging a glass base plate to replace
alkali metal ions A that are the main
alkali metal ion component of the glass base plate with
alkali metal ions B having a larger
ionic radius than the alkali
metal ions A at a surface of the glass base plate,the unexchanged glass base plate made of a soda-
lime glass,the method including:a first step of contacting the glass base plate with a first salt containing the alkali
metal ions A, the first salt containing the alkali
metal ions A at a ratio X, as expressed as a
molar percentage of total alkali metal ions, of 90 to 100 mol %;a second step of contacting the glass plate with a second salt containing the alkali metal ions B after the first step, the second salt containing the alkali metal ions A at a ratio Y, as expressed as a
molar percentage of the total alkali metal ions, of 0 to 10 mol %; anda third step of contacting the glass plate with a third salt containing the alkali metal ions B after the second step, the third salt containing the alkali metal ions B at a ratio Z, as expressed as a
molar percentage of the total alkali metal ions, of 98 to 100 mol %.
