Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of glass technology, and in particular to a preparation method of lithium aluminum silicon chemically strengthened glass with high stress performance and the strengthened glass. Background Art
[0002] At present, the display protection materials and exterior shell protection materials of portable smart electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and electronic watches are all made of glass, and the vast majority are lithium aluminum silicate chemically strengthened glass. As protective glass for displays of portable terminals such as smartphones, it has certain requirements for strength (especially drop strength) and glass monomer performance. Therefore, lithium aluminum silicate chemically strengthened glass with high stress performance (including high surface compressive stress (CS), high pressure stress depth (DOL_0) and high tensile stress linear density (CT_LD)) and excellent monomer strength (including higher drop resistance and four-point bending strength) has a large market space. In addition, in order to ensure emergency use after customers' broken screens, more and more mobile phone manufacturers have further required that the glass will not produce many small fragments after breaking.
[0003] In order to prepare lithium aluminum silicate chemically strengthened glass with high stress performance and high monomer strength that meets market demand, most glass manufacturers usually constantly adjust the glass formula to obtain different glass sheets, and then adjust the strengthening process for different glass sheets to prepare strengthened glass. This process is very cumbersome and has a long cycle, and it cannot ensure that lithium aluminum silicate chemically strengthened glass that meets the requirements is obtained. The reason may be that the developed glass sheets do not meet the requirements for preparing high stress performance chemically strengthened glass. Even if the chemical strengthening process is continuously adjusted, the strengthened glass still cannot meet the high performance requirements. It may also be because the strengthening process has not been adjusted to the preferred strengthening process for the specific formula glass sheet, which often leads to over-strengthening or insufficient strengthening, thereby causing product waste. In addition, the existing strengthening process generally adopts a two-step method, which has a complicated strengthening process and high cost.
[0004] Therefore, in-depth and systematic research on glass sheets and strengthening processes to find specific rules will help to more accurately and efficiently prepare lithium aluminum silicon chemically strengthened glass with high stress performance and high monomer strength that meets the requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention aims to provide a method for preparing lithium aluminum silicate chemically strengthened glass with high stress resistance and high individual strength, as well as lithium aluminum silicate chemically strengthened glass prepared using this method. Through in-depth and systematic research on glass stock and strengthening processes, the inventors of the present invention have discovered the characteristic requirements that glass stock must meet when preparing chemically strengthened glass with both high stress resistance and high individual strength. Based on these characteristic requirements, it is possible to quickly screen out glass stock formulations that meet the requirements, and it is also possible to effectively avoid missing glass stock formulations that have been directly abandoned by manufacturers due to incompatibility with the strengthening process. Furthermore, the present invention provides a suitable single-step strengthening process for the glass stock corresponding to the screened glass stock formulation. Compared to the existing two-step strengthening process, the strengthening process provided by the present invention greatly simplifies the strengthening process, reduces strengthening costs, and effectively controls the strengthening time. While achieving high stress resistance, it can ensure that the strengthened glass still has excellent individual strength. It can also ensure that the fragments produced by the strengthened glass after immediate rupture are mainly large fragments, thus meeting the needs of emergency use.

[0054] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0055] 1. The relevant special names and related measurement methods involved in the present invention are explained as follows:
[0056] (1) Original glass: glass that has not been chemically strengthened by ion exchange.
[0057] (2) Strengthened glass: It is a solid composite material obtained by chemically strengthening the original glass. During the high-temperature chemical strengthening treatment, the alkali metal ions with large ionic radius (such as potassium ions and sodium ions) in the salt bath will replace the alkali metal ions with small ionic radius (such as sodium ions and lithium ions) in the original glass, resulting in an exchange ion volume difference and compressive stress on the glass surface.
[0058] (3) Surface compressive stress CS: After the glass sheet is chemically strengthened, the alkali metal ions with smaller surface radius are replaced by alkali metal ions with larger radius. Due to the crowding effect of the alkali metal ions with larger radius, compressive stress is generated on the glass surface, which is called surface compressive stress.
[0059] (4) Compressive stress depth DOL: refers to the distance from any surface of the tempered glass to the position where the compressive stress is zero.
[0060] (5)CS 50 :CS 50 It is the compressive stress at a depth of 50 micrometers from the surface of the strengthened glass (50 μm from the surface of the strengthened glass to the inside).
[0061] Surface compressive stress CS, CS 50 2. Measurement of compressive stress depth (DOL): Orihara's FSM6000 and SLP2000 can be used to measure the surface high-pressure stress area and the deep low-pressure stress area, respectively, and the stress curves can be fitted using PMC software. Of course, other stress testers that can measure both the surface high-pressure stress area and the deep low-pressure stress area can also be used.
[0062] (6) Tensile stress linear density CT_LD: The ratio of the sum of the tensile stresses obtained from the SLP stress instrument test to the thickness of the strengthened glass.
[0063] After chemical strengthening, a tensile stress layer forms within the tempered glass. The tensile stress layer has an upper boundary spaced a certain distance from the upper surface of the tempered glass and a lower boundary spaced a certain distance from the lower surface of the tempered glass. A curve is plotted with the tensile stress at a point on a line segment within the tensile stress layer that is perpendicular to both the upper and lower boundaries and whose upper and lower endpoints fall on the upper and lower boundaries, respectively, as the Y-axis and the distance from the corresponding point to the upper boundary as the X-axis, denoted as the tensile stress curve. The ratio of the definite integral of the tensile stress curve to the thickness of the tempered glass is denoted as the tensile stress linear density, which is the ratio of the sum of the tensile stresses of the tempered glass measured by the SLP-2000 stress meter to the thickness of the glass.
[0064] The compressive stress and tensile stress in chemically strengthened glass are in equilibrium. The SLP-2000 stress meter is more accurate in measuring the tensile stress region of glass. Therefore, the tensile stress integral and thickness ratio are used to represent the stress per unit thickness of the strengthened glass and to characterize the stress level of the chemically strengthened glass.
[0065] (7)CT_LD max : Chemical strengthening is carried out under salt bath conditions in the extreme experiment. As the strengthening time increases, the tensile stress line density CT_LD presents a parabolic form and has a maximum point, which is called the maximum tensile stress line density CT_LD max .
[0066] CT_LD max The test method is: when chemically strengthening in the salt bath conditions of the extreme experiment, take out the glass at regular intervals (such as 1h, 0.5h, etc.) to test its CT_LD value (after each test, immediately put it into the salt bath to continue strengthening, and take it out again for testing when the next test time is reached), and analyze the test results to obtain its CT_LD max .
[0067] The salt bath conditions used in the limit experiment in the present invention are: 100wt% sodium nitrate salt bath at 450℃ or a mixed salt bath of 5wt% sodium nitrate and 95wt% potassium nitrate at 450℃. The maximum tensile stress linear density of the glass obtained in the 100wt% sodium nitrate salt bath at 450℃ is CT_LD max1 The maximum tensile stress linear density of glass obtained in a mixed salt bath of 5wt% sodium nitrate and 95wt% potassium nitrate at 450℃ is CT_LD max2 .
[0068] (9) Bifurcation threshold: The bifurcation threshold is the tensile stress linear density of the tempered glass when the glass cross section bifurcates in the immediate fracture test of the tempered glass. The immediate fracture test: the center point of the tempered glass sample is used as the breaking point, and a "stress release device" is used (for details, please refer to the article "Study on the intrinsic influencing factors of the drop resistance of the cover glass treated with double strength", from Glass and Enamel. 2021, 49 (02)) to generate a crack at the breaking point. The crack extends under the action of its internal tensile stress, such as Figure 2 a and Figure 2 b, rather than a starburst due to excessive impact force, such as Figure 2 c. When the glass crack just produces bifurcation, the tensile stress linear density of the strengthened glass sample is the bifurcation threshold.
[0069] Bifurcation threshold test method:
[0070] Test the CT_LD that can be obtained from the glass sheet corresponding to a certain glass formula under extreme experimental conditions max Then, the tempered glass samples with different CT_LD were strengthened under the salt bath conditions of the extreme experiment, and the CT_LD range was from 30000MPa / mm to CT_LD max , increasing by about 1000MPa / mm, 1500MPa / mm or 2000MPa / mm. For example, the glass sheet corresponding to the glass formula to be tested is strengthened under the salt bath conditions of the extreme experiment to obtain a CT_LD of about 30000MPa / mm, about 31000MPa / mm, about 32000MPa / mm, about 33000MPa / mm, about 34000MPa / mm, about 36000MPa / mm... max A bifurcation threshold test was conducted on a tempered glass sample. That is, the center point of the tempered glass sample was used as the failure point, and a "stress release device" was used to cause a crack to appear at the failure point. When the glass crack happened to bifurcate, the tensile stress linear density of the tempered glass sample was the bifurcation threshold.
[0071] Since the bifurcation threshold is a reference indicator for the ability of glass to safely accommodate stress and is an inherent characteristic of the original glass sheet itself, it will not change with changes in glass strengthening conditions, but only with changes in the glass formulation. Therefore, the salt bath conditions for the extreme experiment in the present invention can be a 100wt% sodium nitrate salt bath at 450°C, or a mixed salt bath of 5wt% sodium nitrate and 95wt% potassium nitrate at 450°C.
[0072] Note that when the CT_LD of the strengthened glass sample has reached CT_LD max , and perform an immediate fracture test on it. If it is found that the glass crack still does not bifurcate, then it is judged that the bifurcation threshold of this formula glass is greater than the CT_LD obtained by the limit experiment.max .
[0073] (10) Ball drop resistance test method:
[0074] Prepare 2.5D tempered glass samples measuring (60-80) x (150-170) x 0.7 mm. A 56g steel ball is dropped vertically from above the tempered glass sample. Each batch of at least 10 samples is subjected to a drop test. Starting from a drop height of 0.20 m, the ball is dropped once at nine points on the sample surface. The ball is held during rebound to prevent a second impact. If the sample does not break, the drop is increased by 0.1 m and repeated until it breaks. The average of the two broken heights is taken as the drop height.
[0075] (11) Four-point bending strength test method:
[0076] A 2.5D sample of tempered glass was prepared with dimensions of (60-80) x (150-170) x 0.7 mm. A four-bar bending tester (model: MK-9991WQ) was used, with an upper span of 20 cm and a lower span of 40 cm. The sample was compressed downward at a constant speed of 10 mm / min until it broke. The compressive strength at the time of breaking was then measured.
[0077] Each batch of samples shall consist of at least 10 pieces, and the average compressive strength of the batch samples shall be taken as the four-point bending strength.
[0078] (12) Sandpaper drop resistance test method:
[0079] Prepare a 2D sample of tempered glass measuring 50 x 50 x 0.7 mm. Prepare a weighted module made of an acrylic sheet and a metal weight block. Secure the tempered glass to one side of the weighted module using foam and double-sided tape. The acrylic sheet and metal block weigh 200 g, and the foam and double-sided tape are 0.2-0.3 mm thick.
[0080] The prepared test sample is dropped from a specified height onto a marble floor covered with 120-grit sandpaper in a manner such that the tempered glass faces downward. The acceleration of the impact drop is 9.5-9.8 m / s. 2 . To simulate the normal use of the mobile phone and the state of accidentally falling.
[0081] Each batch of samples shall consist of at least 10 pieces. The samples shall be dropped from a height of 0.4m. If they are not broken, the height shall be increased by 0.1m each time and dropped again until they are broken. The average of the broken heights shall be taken as the anti-drop height.
[0082] 2. A method for preparing chemically strengthened glass with high stress performance.
[0083] This embodiment provides a method for preparing chemically strengthened glass with high stress performance, comprising the following steps:
[0084] S1. Screening out a glass formula suitable for preparing chemically strengthened glass with high stress performance by single-step binary ion exchange chemical strengthening, and using the glass formula as the original glass sheet to be strengthened. The specific steps include:
[0085] (1) Unstrengthened lithium aluminosilicate glass (the lithium aluminosilicate glass here can be lithium aluminosilicate glass prepared by conventional methods such as float method and overflow method, and the preparation method of the glass is not particularly limited) is placed in a 100 wt% sodium nitrate salt bath at 450°C, and the maximum tensile stress linear density CT_LD that the glass can obtain is tested. max1 At the same time, the bifurcation threshold of the glass with the same formula as the lithium aluminum silicate glass was tested and CT_LD was calculated. max1 The difference from the bifurcation threshold;
[0086] (2) Screen out the bifurcation threshold greater than 40000MPa / mm and CT_LD max1 Subtract the glasses with a difference of 3000 MPa / mm in the bifurcation threshold and determine the corresponding glass formula. Then, place the glass with this formula in a mixed salt bath of 5 wt% sodium nitrate and 95 wt% potassium nitrate at 450°C and test the maximum tensile stress linear density CT_LD that the glass can obtain. max2 , and upon reaching CT_LD max2 When the surface compressive stress CS2 of the glass is measured, CT_LD is calculated. max2 Ratio to bifurcation threshold;
[0087] (3) Screening out CT_LD max2 For glasses with a ratio to the bifurcation threshold greater than 1.05 and a CS2 greater than 800 MPa, the corresponding glass formula is determined and the glass with the formula is used as the original glass sheet to be strengthened;
[0088] S2. The glass sheet to be strengthened selected in S1 is subjected to single-step binary ion exchange chemical strengthening. By controlling the process conditions of the single-step binary ion exchange, chemically strengthened glass with high stress performance can be produced.
[0089] In the prior art, adjustments to the lithium aluminosilicate glass formula do not always result in the lithium aluminosilicate glass meeting the requirements for producing high-stress chemically strengthened glass. Often, after multiple chemical strengthening adjustments, it is discovered that the glass stock with the specified glass formula is unsuitable for producing high-stress chemically strengthened glass, which undoubtedly results in a waste of raw material resources. Even if the resulting glass stock meets the requirements for producing high-stress chemically strengthened glass, an inappropriate strengthening process will result in insufficient improvement in the glass stock's performance, making it impossible to produce high-performance strengthened glass. This can also easily lead to manufacturers abandoning their painstakingly developed glass formulas due to performance failures.
[0090] Through in-depth and systematic research on glass substrates and strengthening processes, the inventors of this invention discovered that lithium aluminosilicate glass, which can be used to prepare chemically strengthened glass with high stress performance, must be able to withstand the stress caused by chemical strengthening. If the stress tolerance limit is too low, the stress effect achieved by chemical strengthening will be extremely limited. Based on this, the inventors further discovered that when preparing chemically strengthened glass with both high stress performance and high monomer strength, the glass substrate must meet certain characteristic requirements: the bifurcation threshold of the glass substrate must be greater than 40,000 MPa / mm, and the maximum tensile stress linear density CT_LD of the glass substrate must be greater than 40,000 MPa / mm in a 100wt% sodium nitrate salt bath at 450°C. max1 The difference from the bifurcation threshold must be greater than or equal to 3000 MPa / mm. At the same time, the inventors further discovered that when the glass sheet is based on the above, it also has the following characteristics: the maximum tensile stress linear density CT_LD obtained by the glass sheet in a mixed salt bath of 5wt% sodium nitrate and 95wt% potassium nitrate at 450°C max2 The ratio to the bifurcation threshold is greater than 1.05 and reaches CT_LD max2 When the surface compressive stress CS2 of the resulting glass is greater than 800 MPa, the original glass can be directly strengthened in a single step to produce chemically strengthened glass with both high stress resistance and high individual strength. This research result greatly simplifies the strengthening process for producing chemically strengthened glass with both high stress resistance and high individual strength, effectively reducing the strengthening cost.
[0091] In an embodiment, the bifurcation threshold of the glass sheet corresponding to the screened glass formula is greater than 40,000 MPa / mm. For example, the bifurcation threshold of the glass sheet corresponding to the screened glass formula is greater than 40,000 MPa / mm, greater than 41,000 MPa / mm, greater than 42,000 MPa / mm, greater than 43,000 MPa / mm, greater than 44,000 MPa / mm, greater than 45,000 MPa / mm, greater than 46,000 MPa / mm, greater than 47,000 MPa / mm, greater than 48,000 MPa / mm, greater than 49,000 MPa / mm, greater than 50,000 MPa / mm, or greater than 53,000 MPa / mm. It should be understood that in an embodiment, any of the above ranges may be combined with any other ranges.
[0092] In certain embodiments, the bifurcation threshold of the glass sheet corresponding to the screened glass formula includes the following ranges:

[0099] The duration of single-step binary ion exchange chemical strengthening of raw glass is related to the salt bath composition, salt bath temperature, glass thickness, and glass formulation. The properties of the resulting strengthened glass are tested periodically (this timed testing refers to removing the glass from the salt bath for testing at regular intervals (e.g., 1 hour, 0.5 hours, etc.). If the glass does not meet the performance requirements after testing, it is placed back in the salt bath for further strengthening). When the strengthened glass meets the performance requirements for the desired strengthened glass product, the single-step binary ion exchange chemical strengthening is stopped. The strengthening time and salt bath conditions (including salt bath composition and temperature) used for the strengthening are recorded. The recorded strengthening time can be used later when strengthening raw glass sheets of the same formulation and thickness under the same salt bath conditions.

[0150] 5. The present invention will be described below through specific embodiments.
[0151] Table 1 shows the properties of the glass sheets corresponding to the glass formulations of glass 1 to 6.
[0152]
[0153]
[0154] Table 2 shows the properties of the glass sheets corresponding to the glass formulations 7 to 9 and comparative formulations 1 to 2.
[0155]
[0156] Note: When testing the bifurcation threshold, the glass sheet corresponding to the comparative formula 1 was strengthened at 450℃ in a 100wt% NaNO3 salt bath to obtain a CT_LD equal to CT_LD max1 The glass sample was subjected to an immediate fracture test and found that the glass crack did not bifurcate. Therefore, it was determined that the bifurcation threshold of the glass sheet with this formula was higher than the maximum tensile stress linear density value CT_LD that can be obtained by strengthening under the conditions of 450℃ and 100wt% NaNO3 salt bath.max1 .
[0157] Combining Table 1 and Table 2, it can be seen that the properties of glass sheets corresponding to different glass formulations are not the same. Specifically, different lithium aluminosilicate glass formulations, the bifurcation threshold of the glass, and the maximum tensile stress linear density CT_LD that can be obtained under the conditions of 450°C and 100wt% NaNO3 salt bath are different. max1 The maximum tensile stress linear density CT_LD that can be obtained under the conditions of 450℃, 5wt%NaNO3+95wt%KNO3 salt bath max2 , and when CT_LD is reached max2 The surface compressive stress CS2 of the glass will change.
[0158] Table 3 shows the strengthening process conditions used in Examples 3-5 and Comparative Examples 9-10 and the properties of the tempered glass obtained.
[0159]
[0160] Note: “430℃*5wt%NaNO3+95wt%KNO3*7h” means strengthening in a mixed salt bath of 5wt%NaNO3+95wt%KNO3 at 430℃ for 7h. Other similar expressions have similar meanings.
[0161] 2. After chemical strengthening, the thickness of the original glass sheet hardly changes. The difference between the thickness of the original glass sheet and the thickness of the lithium aluminum silicate chemically strengthened glass obtained by single-step binary ion exchange chemical strengthening is very small, within 10 microns, and is almost negligible. Therefore, when calculating the ratio of DOL_0 to the thickness of the lithium aluminum silicate chemically strengthened glass obtained by single-step binary ion exchange chemical strengthening, DOL_0 can be directly divided by the thickness of the original glass sheet.
[0162] 3. DOL_0 refers to the distance from the surface of the lithium aluminum silicate chemically strengthened glass to the position where the compressive stress is zero after single-step binary ion exchange chemical strengthening.
[0163] As shown in Table 3, when the glass sheet meets the screening requirements of the present invention, it can be directly strengthened by single-step binary ion exchange chemical strengthening using the single-step strengthening process of the present invention. 50, CS, DOL_0), and the resulting chemically strengthened glass can also maintain excellent individual performance, namely, the strengthened glass still has high ball drop resistance and four-point bending strength. However, when the original glass sheet does not meet the screening requirements of the present invention, if it is chemically strengthened by single-step binary ion exchange using the single-step strengthening process of the present invention, the resulting chemically strengthened glass has a low CT_LD and poor sandpaper drop resistance. The strengthened glasses produced in Comparative Examples 9 and 10 have significantly lower CT_LD than Examples 3-5, and show a significant decrease in sandpaper drop resistance.
[0164] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit the technical solutions. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent replacements of the technical solutions of the present invention that do not depart from the purpose and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
