Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of microcrystalline glass technology, and specifically relates to a microcrystalline glass with excellent deformation resistance, chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass and their applications. Background Art

[0002] With the advent of the smart age, portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and watches have become an indispensable part of daily life, and most of the damage they suffer is due to screen shattering. With the introduction of microcrystalline glass such as "Kunlun Glass", "Super Ceramic Crystal", and "Titan Glass", the probability of cover glass shattering has been greatly reduced. However, the problem of glass inner screen failure needs to be further improved. If the inner screen fails, it is easy to cause touch failure, display abnormalities, screen damage, etc. In particular, driven by the market demand for larger screens and thinner electronic devices, the thickness of cover glass is getting thinner and thinner. When the cover glass is squeezed or impacted and deformed, it will squeeze the glass inner screen, which may cause the inner screen to fail. Therefore, in order to better improve the problem of glass inner screen failure caused by impact on the cover glass, it is urgent to develop cover glass with excellent deformation resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Glass-ceramics, a solid material containing both microcrystalline and glassy phases, possess significant strength advantages over conventional glass due to its numerous nanocrystals, which inhibit the growth of microcracks. Among existing glass-ceramics, those with a primary lithium disilicate crystalline phase hold great potential for use as cover glass in electronic products.

[0004] The lithium disilicate (Li2Si2O5) crystalline phase is an orthorhombic crystal based on an array of [Si2O5] tetrahedrons, with a flat or plate-like shape. Within glass-ceramics, the lithium disilicate crystals form a randomly oriented, interlocking microstructure, forcing cracks through the crystals to distort their path, thereby preventing crack propagation and improving the strength and fracture toughness of the glass-ceramics. Furthermore, the refractive index of lithium disilicate crystals is close to that of the glass matrix (e.g., the base glass used to prepare glass-ceramics), making it an ideal crystalline phase for preparing highly transparent glass-ceramics.

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a microcrystalline glass with high strength and excellent optical properties, with lithium disilicate as the main crystalline phase. The microcrystalline glass can be prepared by chemical strengthening to obtain chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass with high stress level, excellent deformation resistance and high mechanical strength.

The smaller the deformation of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic after being squeezed, the greater its deformation resistance. When used as cover glass for display screens, the smaller the deformation after being squeezed or impacted, the lower the probability of contact with the inner glass screen, which helps to alleviate the problem of inner glass screen failure caused by impact on the cover glass.

[0067] 25. The chemically strengthened glass-ceramic according to any one of technical solutions 14-24, wherein, at a thickness of 0.5 mm, when a 10 mm diameter round-headed metal pressure rod is used to compress the center of the main surface of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic, when the center of the main surface of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic undergoes a deformation of 0.400 mm along the direction of force, the load borne by the center of the main surface of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic is ≥ 30 N. When a certain deformation occurs, the greater the load that the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic can withstand, the greater the load that the deformation can offset when the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic is subjected to compression or impact. Therefore, when the deformation contacts the inner glass screen, the compression or impact load on the inner glass screen is reduced, and the likelihood of inner glass screen failure is reduced. Using chemically strengthened glass-ceramic, which can withstand or offset large loads, as cover glass, helps alleviate the problem of inner glass screen failure caused by impact or compression of the cover glass.

[0079] Glossary and test methods:

[0080] Base glass: glass that has not been subjected to nucleation, crystallization or strengthening treatment.

[0081] Glass-ceramics: also known as glass ceramics, is a type of solid composite material that contains both a glass phase and a crystal phase (also called a microcrystalline phase or a crystalline phase) and is prepared by targeted and controlled crystallization of the base glass.

[0082] Chemically strengthened glass-ceramics refers to the solid composite material obtained by chemically strengthening glass-ceramics. During high-temperature chemical strengthening, alkali metal ions with larger ionic radii (such as potassium or sodium ions) in the molten salt bath replace alkali metal ions with smaller ionic radii (such as sodium or lithium ions) in the glass-ceramics. This creates a volume difference between the exchanged ions and produces compressive stress (also known as compression stress) on the surface of the glass-ceramics.

[0083] Main crystalline phase or major crystalline phase: refers to a crystalline phase having a higher weight content than other crystalline phases present in the microcrystalline glass.

[0084] Main surface: refers to the surface with the largest surface area in the glass brick or glass sheet, such as the upper and lower surfaces of the cover glass.

[0085] Crystallinity: refers to the percentage of the total mass of the crystalline phase or crystals in the microcrystalline glass to the mass of the microcrystalline glass, or also called the total crystalline phase content in the microcrystalline glass.

[0086] Refractive index: The refractive index refers to the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the medium.

[0087] Transmittance: When light of a certain wavelength hits the glass surface, the light will be reflected, absorbed and transmitted. The ratio of the intensity of the transmitted part to the intensity of the incident light is the transmittance.

[0088] SOC: Photoelastic coefficient. Photoelasticity refers to the anisotropic birefringence of transparent materials when subjected to stress. By measuring the photoelastic coefficient and birefringence, the residual stress (in MPa) within the material can be determined.

[0089] CT_LD: refers to the tensile stress linear density, measured in MPa / mm. It should be understood that after the glass-ceramics is placed in a molten salt bath for ion exchange, a compressive stress layer (or also called a compressive stress layer) will be formed on the surface of the glass-ceramics, and a tensile stress layer (or also called a tensile stress layer) will be formed inside the glass-ceramics. Exemplarily, during chemical strengthening, alkali metal ions with a large radius in the molten salt bath are ion-exchanged with alkali metal ions with a small radius in the glass-ceramics, thereby forming a compressive stress layer on the surface of the glass-ceramics and a tensile stress layer inside the glass-ceramics. In this application, CT_LD is calculated by the following formula:

[0090]

[0091] Where t is the thickness of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic, in mm; DOL 0 is the depth of the compressive stress layer of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic, in μm; and |CT_AV| is the absolute value of the average tensile stress of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic, in MPa. It should be understood that the calculation formula for tensile stress linear density is based on the aforementioned units, and the units are not involved in the calculation.

[0092] |CT_CV|: refers to the absolute value of the maximum tensile stress, in MPa. Specifically, it refers to the absolute value of the maximum tensile stress in the tensile stress layer, obtained by testing with the SLP-2000 stress meter.

[0093] |CT_AV|: refers to the absolute value of the average tensile stress, in MPa. Specifically, it refers to the absolute value of the average value of all tensile stresses in the tensile stress layer, obtained by testing with the SLP-2000 stress meter.

[0094] DOL_0: refers to the depth of the compressive stress layer, or the depth of the compressive stress layer. Specifically, it refers to the distance from any major surface of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass to the position close to that surface where the compressive stress is zero. It is measured using an SLP-2000 stress meter.

[0095] b value: used to characterize the yellow-blue value of a material. The optical b value in the present invention is the b value of transmitted light, and a positive optical b value indicates that the material is blue.

[0096] Vickers hardness: Vickers hardness refers to a standard for expressing the hardness of materials proposed by Robert L. Smith and George E. Sandland of the United Kingdom at Vickers Ltd in 1921.

[0097] Crystallization upper limit temperature: Crystallization upper limit temperature refers to the highest temperature at which the substrate glass produces crystallization. Above this temperature, the substrate glass will not precipitate crystals.

[0098] Glass thickness: measured using a micrometer. It should be understood that the degree of ion exchange varies gradually from the surface to the center of the glass through the thickness. The total Na-K and / or Li-Na exchange typically does not exceed 1.5% of the sample's mass, and the difference in ion radius is typically on the order of micrometers. Therefore, the expansion effect through the thickness is extremely slight, and the thickness can be considered essentially unchanged. In other words, the change in thickness of the glass-ceramic before and after chemical strengthening is negligible and very small.

[0099] Glass sheet size measurement: A two-dimensional measuring machine (instrument model: Miyu MY-YXCL-4030) was used for testing.

[0100] XRD testing: The glass-ceramics or chemically strengthened glass-ceramics of this application were crushed and ground into samples with a particle size of less than 75 μm. The ground samples were tested using an X-ray diffractometer to obtain XRD diffraction peak curves and XRD diffraction data. The X-ray diffractometer used in this application was a Shimadzu XRD-6100. The test was performed with an incident angle range of 2θ = 10°-60°, a scan speed of 0.2° / min, an operating voltage of 40 kV, and an operating current of 30 mA.

[0101] Determination of crystalline phase: XRD diffraction data were analyzed using Jade software (JADE Standard 8.6) to determine the crystalline phase in the sample.

[0102] Determination of Crystallinity: Import the XRD test results (RAW format) into Jade, an X-ray diffraction data Rietveld refinement software, for fitting and calculation to determine the crystallinity of the sample. Specifically, the ratio of the fitted crystalline phase peak area to the total fitted peak area is recorded as the crystallinity of the sample.

[0103] Determination of average crystal size: Using the result data obtained from the XRD test, the average crystal size of the sample can be calculated according to the Scherrer formula D = Kλ / (βcosθ). Wherein, λ is the X-ray wavelength, λ = 0.154056nm, β is the half-maximum width of the diffraction peak, K = 0.89, and θ is the Bragg diffraction angle. Specifically, the RAW format file output by the XRD instrument is curve fitted in the Jade software. Jade outputs a fitting report. According to the angle 2θ value and PeakFWHM value corresponding to each diffraction peak in the fitting report, the PeakFWHM value is converted to radians: β = (FWHM / 180×3.14). The crystal size of each diffraction peak is calculated by the Scherrer formula D = Kλ / (βcosθ) and then averaged to obtain the average crystal size in the sample.

[0104] Transmittance and optical b-value testing: Referring to the national standard "GB / T 7962.12-2010 Test methods for colorless optical glass Part 12: Spectral transmittance," a haze meter was used to test the transmittance and optical b-value of the glass-ceramics of this application. Specifically, a haze meter was used to test the transmittance and optical b-value of five glass-ceramics from the same batch for light of different wavelengths. The average optical b-value measured for the five glass-ceramics was taken as the optical b-value result of the glass-ceramics. The average transmittance measured for the five glass-ceramics at a wavelength of 550nm was taken as the transmittance result of the glass-ceramics at a wavelength of 550nm. Among them, the haze meter used in the test of this application is the Konica Minolta spectrophotometer CM-3600A from Japan. The light receiving optical system is transmission, the spectroscopic method is a plane reflective grating, the wavelength range is 360nm-740nm, the wavelength spacing is 10nm, the illumination light source is a pulsed xenon lamp X4, and the ambient temperature of the instrument is 24°C and the air humidity is 40%.

[0105] Density: This application uses the electronic density balance SD-200L of Japan ALFAMIRAGE to test the density of microcrystalline glass.

[0106] Refractive index: This application uses a WYA-2WAJ Abbe refractometer to measure the refractive index of microcrystalline glass.

[0107] Expansion softening point temperature: The sample is made into a cylinder with a diameter of 5.5 mm and a length of 20 mm. The sample is tested using a thermal expansion instrument LINSEIS L75VD1000. The test output is a thermal expansion coefficient test curve. The corresponding temperature when the curve begins to decrease with increasing temperature is recorded as the expansion softening point temperature of the sample.

[0108] Young's modulus: The UMS-100 ultrasonic material characterization system was used to test the Young's modulus of glass-ceramics using sound waves.

[0109] Upper limit temperature of crystallization: Break the base glass into small pieces, then place them into the long quartz tank and fill it up. Set the temperature range of the gradient furnace model JKZC-XJY01, such as the temperature range of 1050℃-1225℃, and take at least 6 temperature points from high to low in each temperature range. After the gradient furnace reaches the preset temperature range, place the long quartz tank containing the sample into the gradient furnace, so that the 6 temperature points correspond to the glass samples at 6 positions in the long quartz tank. Place the long quartz tank in the gradient furnace at a constant temperature for 60-70 minutes, and then take out the long quartz tank. Use a microscope or magnifying glass to observe the glass samples at different positions in the long quartz tank. If the glass sample becomes devitrified or foggy, it is determined that the glass sample at that position has crystallized. If the glass sample is completely transparent, it is determined that the glass sample at that position has not crystallized. The upper crystallization temperature range is between the temperature point corresponding to a completely transparent sample and the temperature point corresponding to an adjacent devitrified or hazy sample. The average of these two temperature points is recorded as the upper crystallization temperature. If all or none of the glass samples in the long quartz tank crystallize within the temperature range set by the gradient furnace, reset the temperature range of the gradient furnace and measure the upper crystallization temperature of the glass samples.

[0110] Vickers hardness test: Chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass is made into a small piece with a length, width and thickness of 50mm×50mm×0.5mm, and a glass sample with a clean surface and no visible scratches, pits, cracks and other damage is selected as a test sample, and then its Vickers hardness is measured using a Vickers hardness tester. The Vickers hardness tester used in the test of the present invention is a digital display small load Vickers hardness tester with model VTD405 produced by Beijing Kewei Technology Co., Ltd. Test conditions: load 300gf, load time 10s, and the effectiveness of the indentation complies with the "GB / T 37900-2019 Ultra-thin glass hardness and fracture toughness test method small load Vickers hardness indentation method" standard. Select 3 different positions on the surface of the same test sample for measurement, and take the average of the 3 measurement results, which is recorded as the Vickers hardness result of the test sample.

[0111] Synchronous thermal analysis test: After the substrate glass is crushed, ground and sieved through a 200-mesh sieve to obtain a sample, approximately 20 mg of the sample is weighed and heated from room temperature to 1100°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min using a differential thermal analyzer under a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a DSC test curve of the sample. The differential thermal analyzer used in this application is a Mettler-Toledo TGA / DSC3+ thermogravimetric and synchronous thermal analyzer. The standard used in the test is α-Al2O3 powder. The sample container is a platinum crucible. The instrument is placed in an ambient temperature of 24°C and the air humidity is ≤40%.

[0112] Stress Testing: In this application, an SLP 2000 (Luceo, Japan) stress meter was used to measure |CT_CV|, DOL_O, and |CT_AV| of chemically strengthened glass-ceramics. The stress meter parameters were set as follows: light source wavelength of 518 nm, SOC (photoelastic coefficient) of 25.5, refractive index according to the refractive index of the sample being tested, and exposure time of 300 μsec. The tensile stress linear density (CT_LD) of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics was then calculated using the aforementioned tensile stress linear density formula.

[0113] Deformation test: The test is conducted using the single-unit strength test method. Specifically, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic is placed on the bottom ring of a tensile testing machine (LT_850A). The rounded end of the pressure rod contacts the center of the main surface of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic. The pressure rod movement speed is set to 50 mm / min. The test software is launched and the test is started. The software records the applied load and the corresponding deformation curve. The deformation of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic is read when the load is 10 kgf. The deformation here refers to the displacement of the stress point on the main surface of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic in the direction of the force. The pressure rod used in this test method is a 10 mm diameter metal pressure rod with a rounded end that is a 10 mm diameter hemisphere.

[0114] Test of the load borne when a certain amount of deformation occurs: The "load borne" here refers to the load that needs to be applied at the force point position in order for the main surface of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass to undergo the corresponding deformation amount along the force direction.

[0115] The test method for "load borne" is the same as the test method for deformation, and is tested using the single-body strength test method. Specifically, the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass is placed on the bottom ring of the tensile testing machine (LT_850A), so that the round head of the pressure rod contacts the center of the main surface of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass. The pressure rod movement speed is set to 50 mm / min, the test software is started, and the test is started. The curve of the applied load and the corresponding deformation is recorded through the test software. The load required to be applied when the deformation of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass sample is 0.40 mm is read and recorded as the "load borne" (or the load offset during deformation) at the center of the main surface of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass when the deformation is 0.40 mm. The pressure rod used in this test method is a metal pressure rod with a diameter of 10 mm, and the round head of the pressure rod is a hemisphere with a diameter of 10 mm.

[0116] Without being bound by any theory, it's speculated that the process of glass deformation is actually a process of offsetting stress. When the cover glass deforms under force, the greater the offset stress, the less force will be transmitted to the inner glass screen under the same impact. In other words, the pressure on the inner glass screen will be reduced, and the more likely it is to fail. Similarly, when the cover glass is subjected to a certain force, the smaller the deformation, the less likely it is to squeeze the inner glass screen, and thus the less likely it is to fail.

[0117] In view of this, the present application provides a glass-ceramic having high mechanical strength, excellent optical properties, and excellent deformation resistance, wherein the main crystalline phase is lithium disilicate, a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic, and applications thereof. The glass-ceramic provided in the present application can be chemically strengthened to obtain a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic with a high stress level after chemical strengthening.

[0118] As described above, in some embodiments of the present application, a glass-ceramic is provided, wherein the glass-ceramic contains a lithium disilicate crystalline phase, wherein the lithium disilicate crystalline phase has a higher weight percentage than other crystalline phases present in the glass-ceramic; and the composition of the glass-ceramic, measured in molar percentage of oxides, includes:

[0119] SiO2: 55.00mol%-65.00mol%, Al2O3: 0.00mol%-2.00mol%, P2O5: 1.00mol%-3.00mol%, ZrO2: 2.00mol%-6.00mol%, MgO: 0.00mol%-2.00mol%, ZnO: 0.00mol%-2.00mol% , Na2O: 0.00mol%-3.00mol%, K2O: 0.00mol%-1.00mol%, Li2O: 27.00mol%-32.00mol%, CaO: 0.00mol%-5.00mol%, B2O3: 0.00mol%-1.00mol%, SrO: 0.00mol%-2.00mol%;

[0120] The composition of the microcrystalline glass satisfies the following conditions: 2.00≤SiO2 / Li2O≤2.40, expressed as the molar percentage of each oxide in the microcrystalline glass composition.

[0121] In the present application, by optimizing the glass formula, such as using a higher content of zirconium and a lower content of aluminum at a higher content of lithium, and so on, while ensuring that the various components satisfy a specific content relationship and that the various components interact with each other, on the one hand, it is beneficial to ensure the precipitation of the desired content of lithium disilicate crystal phase and limit the precipitation of other crystal phases (such as petalite crystal phase), thereby helping to ensure that microcrystalline glass with high intrinsic strength and excellent optical properties and with lithium disilicate as the main crystal phase is obtained; on the other hand, it is beneficial to ensure that the microcrystalline glass meets a specific composition and structure, thereby ensuring that after chemical strengthening, chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass with a high stress level and excellent deformation resistance is prepared.

[0122] In some embodiments, calculated as a molar percentage of oxides, the value of SiO2 / Li2O in the glass-ceramics can be, for example, 2.00, 2.01, 2.02, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 2.19, 2.20, 2.25, 2.30, or 2.40, or can be a value within a numerical range consisting of any two of the above specific values ​​as endpoints, as long as the glass-ceramics or chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with the desired performance of the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that, in specific embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other ranges, as long as the glass-ceramics or chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with the desired performance of the present application can be obtained. Adopting a composition that satisfies this relationship is beneficial to reducing the crystal size in the microcrystalline glass and improving the optical properties of the microcrystalline glass; at the same time, it is beneficial to ensure the precipitation of the main crystalline phase lithium disilicate crystals and can effectively reduce the precipitation of other crystalline phases (such as petalite crystals), which is beneficial to ensuring that the microcrystalline glass obtains higher intrinsic strength and is also beneficial for the microcrystalline glass to obtain a high stress level after chemical strengthening.

[0123] In the glass system of the present application, SiO2 is a forming oxide of the glass network and is an indispensable component of the glass network structure. At the same time, SiO2 is also indispensable as an important component of the lithium disilicate (Li2Si2O5) crystalline phase. Properly increasing the content of SiO2 can increase the structural stability and mechanical strength of the glass, while ensuring the precipitation of the desired content of lithium disilicate crystalline phase. However, excessive SiO2 will increase the viscosity of the substrate glass, making the glass melting more difficult, thereby reducing the formability of the substrate glass. Therefore, in order to ensure better forming and crystallization effects, the molar percentage of SiO2 is controlled at 55.00mol%-65.00mol%, preferably, the molar percentage of SiO2 is 60.00mol%-65.00mol%.

[0124] In some embodiments, the glass-ceramics may contain 55.00mol%-65.00mol%, 58.00mol%-64.00mol%, 60.00mol%-65.00mol%, 61.00mol%-64.00mol%, 60.50mol%-64.00mol%, 61.50mol%-63.50mol%, 62.00mol%-64.00mol%, 63.00mol%-64.00mol% or 63.00mol%-65.00mol% of SiO2. In some embodiments, the glass-ceramics may include 55.00 mol%, 56.00 mol%, 57.00 mol%, 58.00 mol%, 59.00 mol%, 60.00 mol%, 61.00 mol%, 62.00 mol%, 63.00 mol%, 64.00 mol%, 62.55 mol%, 62.58 mol%, 61.82 mol%, 61.72 mol%, 61.87 mol%, 61.76 mol%. %, 62.59 mol%, 61.15 mol%, 61.25 mol%, 61.06 mol%, 63.17 mol%, 62.77 mol%, 63.39 mol%, 63.17 mol%, 63.16 mol%, 62.01 mol% or 65.00 mol% SiO2, or SiO2 within a numerical range consisting of any two of the above specific values ​​as endpoints, as long as the microcrystalline or chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass-ceramics having the desired properties of the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that, in specific embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other ranges, as long as the microcrystalline or chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass-ceramics having the desired properties of the present application can be obtained.

[0125] In the glass system of this application, Al2O3 is an optional component. The addition of an appropriate amount of Al2O3 helps stabilize the glass network structure and also helps to promote ion exchange during the chemical strengthening process to a certain extent. However, excessive Al2O3 can increase the viscosity of the glass and easily lead to the precipitation of other crystalline phases, such as petalite, which can reduce the content of the lithium disilicate crystalline phase and affect the interlocking structure of the lithium disilicate. Therefore, the molar percentage of Al2O3 is controlled within 0.00 mol% to 2.00 mol%.

[0126] In some embodiments, the microcrystalline glass may contain 0.00mol%-2.00mol%, 0.00mol%-1.60mol%, 0.00mol%-1.00mol%, 0.50mol%-1.60mol%, 0.50mol%-1.00mol%, 0.00mol%-0.50mol%, 1.20mol%-1.60mol%, 0.00mol%-1.30mol%, 0.00mol%-1.20mol% or 1.00mol%-2.00mol% of Al2O3. In some embodiments, the microcrystalline glass may contain 0.00 mol%, 0.50 mol%, 0.70 mol%, 0.85 mol%, 0.95 mol%, 1.00 mol%, 1.10 mol%, 1.20 mol%, 1.30 mol%, 1.40 mol%, 1.50 mol%, 1.60 mol%, 1.80 mol%, 1.55 mol%, 1.38 mol%, 1.41 mol%, 1.37 mol%, 1.39 mol%, 1.43 mol%, 1.23 mol%, 1.42 mol% or 2.00 mol% of Al2O3, or Al2O3 within the numerical range formed by any two of the above specific values ​​as endpoints, as long as the microcrystalline glass or chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass with the required performance of the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that, in a specific embodiment, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other ranges, as long as the microcrystalline glass or chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass having the required performance of the present application can be obtained.

[0127] In the glass system of the present application, P2O5, as a nucleating agent, is an indispensable part. When its content is too little or too much, it will lead to poor crystallization effect and affect the optical properties of the obtained microcrystalline glass, such as reducing the transparency of the microcrystalline glass. Therefore, the molar percentage of P2O5 is controlled at 1.00mol%-3.00mol%, preferably 1.50mol%-2.50mol%.

[0128] In some embodiments, the glass-ceramics may include 1.00mol%-3.00mol%, 1.50mol%-3.00mol%, 1.60mol%-2.80mol%, 1.50mol%-2.50mol%, 1.60mol%-2.10mol%, 1.70mol%-2.20mol%, 1.50mol%-1.60mol%, 1.70mol%-3.00mol%, 1 .60mol%-2.50mol%, 1.70mol%-2.30mol%, 1.80mol%-2.00mol%, 2.00mol%-3.00mol%, 1.80mol%-1.90mol%, 1.60mol%-1.90mol%, 1.70mol%-1.90mol%, 1.75mol%-1.95mol% or 1.50mol%-2.00mol% of P2O5. In some embodiments, the microcrystalline glass may contain 1.00 mol%, 1.20 mol%, 1.50 mol%, 1.70 mol%, 1.75 mol%, 1.80 mol%, 1.85 mol%, 1.95 mol%, 2.00 mol%, 2.10 mol%, 2.20 mol%, 2.30 mol%, 2.40 mol%, 2.50 mol%, 2.60 mol%, 2.80 mol%, 2.06 mol%, 1.87 mol%, 1.88 mol%, 1.86 mol%, 1.83 mol%, 1.89 mol%, 1.74 mol%, 1.51 mol% or 3.00 mol% of P2O5, or P2O5 within the numerical range formed by any two of the above specific values ​​as endpoints, as long as the microcrystalline glass or chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass with the required performance of the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that, in a specific embodiment, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other ranges, as long as the microcrystalline glass or chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass having the required performance of the present application can be obtained.

[0129] In the glass system of this application, ZrO2 is an intermediate oxide in glass formation, primarily acting as a nucleating agent and toughening agent, reducing grain size and increasing the toughness of the glass-ceramics. However, excessive ZrO2 content can increase the difficulty of melting the base glass, such as causing a large amount of white precipitate to form in the base glass, hindering the production of glass-ceramics with excellent optical properties. Therefore, the molar percentage of ZrO2 is controlled within a range of 2.00 mol% to 6.00 mol%, preferably 3.20 mol% to 6.00 mol%.

[0130] In some embodiments, the microcrystalline glass may contain 2.00mol%-6.00mol%, 2.30mol%-5.80mol%, 2.50mol%-5.50mol%, 2.80mol%-5.30mol%, 2.90mol%-5.10mol%, 3.00mol%-5.50mol%, 3.10mol%-4.80mol%, 4.80mol%-6.00mol%, 4.00mol%-6.00mol%, 3.20mol%-5.30mol%, 3.50mol%-5.00mol%, 3.50mol%-5.80mol%, 4.00mol%-5.00mol% or 3.20mol%-6.00mol% ZrO2. In some embodiments, the glass-ceramics may include 2.00 mol%, 2.30 mol%, 2.50 mol%, 2.70 mol%, 2.90 mol%, 3.00 mol%, 3.10 mol%, 3.30 mol%, 3.50 mol%, 4.00 mol%, 4.50 mol%, 5.00 mol%, 5.50 mol%, 5.80 mol%, 2.58 mol%, 4.68 mol%, 4.66 mol%, 4.61 mol%, 3.16 mol%, 3.72 mol%,

[0131] 4.21mol%, 4.57mol%, 5.10mol%, 5.54mol%, 4.72mol%, 2.18mol%, 2.36mol%, 3.31mol%, 4.63mol% or 6.00mol% ZrO2, or ZrO2 within a numerical range consisting of any two of the above specific values ​​as endpoints, as long as the micro-ceramics or chemically strengthened micro-ceramics with the performance required by the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that in specific embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other ranges, as long as the micro-ceramics or chemically strengthened micro-ceramics with the performance required by the present application can be obtained.

[0132] In the glass system of this application, CaO serves as an optional component of the network oxides that form the glass. An appropriate amount of CaO helps reduce the high-temperature viscosity of the glass, increases the density of the glass, and facilitates glass molding. It also strengthens the network structure, enhancing the stress yield during the chemical strengthening process. However, excessive CaO can lead to a sharp decrease in the crystallinity of the glass, affecting its intrinsic strength. Therefore, the molar percentage of CaO is controlled within a range of 0.00 mol% to 5.00 mol%.

[0133] In some embodiments, the glass-ceramics may contain 0.00mol%-5.00mol%, 0.10mol%-4.00mol%, 0.00mol%-2.50mol%, 0.50mol%-3.80mol%, 0.00mol%-4.00mol%, 0.80mol%-2.00mol%, 0.00mol%-1.60mol%, 0.00mol%-1.00mol%, 1.50mol%-4.00mol%, 0.00mol%-2.00mol%, 1.00mol%-4.00mol% or 0.10mol%-5.00mol% of CaO. In some embodiments, the microcrystalline glass may contain 0.00 mol%, 0.10 mol%, 0.50 mol%, 0.70 mol%, 0.85 mol%, 0.95 mol%, 1.00 mol%, 1.10 mol%, 1.20 mol%, 1.30 mol%, 1.40 mol%, 1.50 mol%, 1.60 mol%, 1.80 mol%, 2.00 mol%, 2.50 mol%, 3.00 mol%, 4.00 mol%, 3.72 mol%, 0.94 mol%, 0.92 mol%, 0.93 mol%, 1.83 mol%, 2.67 mol% or 5.00 mol% of CaO, or CaO within the numerical range formed by any two of the above specific values ​​as endpoints, as long as the microcrystalline glass or chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass with the required performance of the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that, in a specific embodiment, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other ranges, as long as the microcrystalline glass or chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass having the required performance of the present application can be obtained.

[0134] In the glass system of the present application, Li2O is an essential component and a network exometallic oxide formed by the glass. It can not only provide free oxygen, improve the viscosity of the glass, and promote the melting and clarification of the glass liquid, but also is one of the main components for the formation of lithium disilicate crystals. At the same time, Li2O can also provide alkali metal lithium ions for ion exchange with large-radius ions in the molten salt bath, which is an important factor affecting the stress level that can be obtained by chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass. However, excessive Li2O may lead to poor stability of the glass crystallization process and even precipitate other undesirable crystalline phases, which deteriorate the optical properties of the microcrystalline glass. Therefore, the molar percentage of Li2O is controlled at 27.00mol%-32.00mol%, preferably 28.00mol%-31.00mol%.

[0135] In some embodiments, the glass-ceramics may contain 27.00 mol%-32.00 mol%, 27.50 mol%-31.00 mol%, 27.00 mol%-30.00 mol%, 27.50 mol%-29.50 mol%, 28.00 mol%-31.00 mol%, 28.50 mol%-31.00 mol%, 29.00 mol%-30.50 mol% or 29.50 mol%-32.00 mol% of Li2O. In some embodiments, the glass-ceramics may contain 27.00 mol%, 27.50 mol%, 28.00 mol%, 28.50 mol%, 29.00 mol%, 29.50 mol%, 30.00 mol%, 30.50 mol%, 31.00 mol%, 31.50 mol%, 27.54 mol%, 28.59 mol%, 29.52 mol%, 29.08 mol%, 29.80 mol%, 29.93 mol%, 29.30 mol%, 31.51 mol%, 30.22 mol%, 29.66 mol%, 29.25 mol% or 32.00 mol% of Li2O, or Li2O within a numerical range consisting of any two of the above specific values ​​as endpoints, as long as the glass-ceramics or chemically strengthened glass-ceramics having the required performance of the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that, in a specific embodiment, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other ranges, as long as the microcrystalline glass or chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass having the required performance of the present application can be obtained.

[0136] In the glass system of the present application, MgO is an optional component. An appropriate amount of MgO can regulate the glass phase composition in the microcrystalline glass. However, excessive MgO will affect the growth of the crystal and the crystalline structure of the microcrystalline glass. Therefore, the molar percentage of MgO is controlled at 0.00 mol%-2.00 mol%.

[0137] In some embodiments, the glass-ceramics may contain 0.00mol%-2.00mol%, 0.00mol%-1.60mol%, 0.50mol%-1.60mol%, 0.80mol%-1.50mol%, 0.00mol%-1.00mol%, 0.00mol%-0.50mol%, 0.10mol%-1.10mol%, 0.10mol%-1.50mol% or 0.00mol%-1.40mol% of MgO.

It should be understood that, in specific embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other ranges, as long as the glass-ceramics or chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with the desired performance of the present application can be obtained.

[0138] In the glass system of this application, ZnO serves as a network intermediate and is an optional component. An appropriate amount of ZnO can bind free oxygen, adjust the glass structure, and remain in the glass phase of the glass-ceramics, increasing the glass viscosity. However, excessive ZnO can affect crystal growth and the crystalline structure of the glass-ceramics. Therefore, the ZnO mole percentage is controlled within a range of 0.00 mol% to 2.00 mol%.

[0139] In some embodiments, the glass-ceramics may contain 0.00mol%-2.00mol%, 0.00mol%-1.70mol%, 0.50mol%-1.60mol%, 0.80mol%-1.50mol%, 0.00mol%-1.00mol%, 0.00mol%-0.50mol%, 0.10mol%-1.10mol%, 0.10mol%-1.50mol% or 0.00mol%-1.40mol% of ZnO.

[0140] In the glass system of this application, Na2O is an optional component and a network-external oxide. A moderate amount of Na2O provides free oxygen, improves glass viscosity, promotes glass melting and clarification, and regulates the chemical strengthening rate. However, excessive Na2O not only reduces the crystallinity of the glass-ceramics but also impairs the chemical strengthening effect. Therefore, the molar percentage of Na2O is controlled within a range of 0.00 mol% to 3.00 mol%.

[0141] In some embodiments, the glass-ceramics may contain 0.00mol%-3.00mol%, 0.00mol%-2.80mol%, 0.00mol%-1.00mol%, 0.10mol%-2.70mol%, 0.50mol%-1.60mol%, 0.60mol%-1.00mol%, 2.50mol%-3.00mol% or 0.00mol%-0.50mol% of Na2O.

It should be understood that, in specific embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other ranges, as long as the glass-ceramics or chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with the desired properties of the present application can be obtained.

[0142] In the glass system of this application, K2O is an oxide outside the glass network and is an optional component. A moderate amount of K2O can provide free oxygen, increasing the oxygen-to-silicon ratio in the glass structure. However, excessive K2O can affect the glass network structure, affecting the optical properties, thermal stability, chemical stability, mechanical strength, and weather resistance of the glass. Therefore, the molar percentage of K2O is controlled between 0.00 mol% and 1.00 mol%.

It should be understood that, in a specific embodiment, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other ranges, as long as the glass-ceramics or chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with the required performance of the present application can be obtained.

[0144] In the glass system of the present application, B2O3 is an optional component. An appropriate amount of B2O3 can be used as a flux and / or softener to help improve the molding and hot bending effects of the glass. However, excessive B2O3 will cause the crystallization process to be uncontrollable, resulting in deterioration of the optical properties of the microcrystalline glass. Therefore, the molar percentage of B2O3 is controlled at 0.00mol%-1.00mol%.

[0145] In some embodiments, the glass-ceramics may contain 0.00 mol%-1.00 mol%, 0.00 mol%-0.50 mol%, 0.50 mol%-1.00 mol%, 0.10 mol%-0.85 mol%, 0.85 mol%-1.00 mol%, or 0.25 mol%-0.75 mol%. In some embodiments, the glass-ceramics may contain 0.00 mol%, 0.10 mol%, 0.25 mol%, 0.50 mol%, 0.60 mol%, 0.65 mol%, 0.70 mol%, 0.75 mol%, 0.85 mol%, 0.95 mol% or 1.00 mol% of B2O3, or B2O3 within a numerical range consisting of any two of the above specific values ​​as endpoints, as long as the glass-ceramics or chemically strengthened glass-ceramics having the required performance of the present application can be obtained.

[0146] In the glass system of the present application, SrO is an optional component and an alkaline earth metal oxide. An appropriate amount of SrO can regulate the glass phase composition in the glass-ceramic, helping to increase the density and Young's modulus of the glass-ceramic. It also helps lower the expansion softening point of the glass-ceramic, thereby facilitating the hot bending of the glass-ceramic into 3D curved glass-ceramics. However, excessive SrO can deteriorate the optical properties of the glass-ceramic. Therefore, the molar percentage of SrO is controlled within a range of 0.00 mol% to 2.00 mol%.

[0147] In some embodiments, the glass-ceramics may contain 0.00mol%-2.00mol%, 0.10mol%-2.00mol%, 0.00mol%-1.00mol%, 0.10mol%-1.00mol%, 0.30mol%-1.90mol%, 0.40mol%-1.20mol%, 1.20mol%-2.00mol%, 0.00mol%-0.30mol%, 0.85mol%-1.40mol%, 0.85mol%-1.90mol%, 0.50mol%-1.20mol% or 1.00mol%-2.00mol% SrO.

By making the microcrystalline glass meet the above composition, not only can the microcrystalline glass be given high intrinsic strength and excellent optical properties, but also its chemical strengthening effect can be guaranteed, ensuring that the microcrystalline glass obtains a higher stress level after chemical strengthening, and thus obtains higher mechanical strength performance and excellent deformation resistance.

[0149] In some embodiments, the glass-ceramics described herein may include other components in addition to the above composition ranges.

[0150] In the glass system of the present application, the selective addition of an appropriate amount of Y2O3, La2O3 or Ta2O5 helps to increase the density of the microcrystalline glass and increase its Young's modulus, but it may also increase the refractive index of the microcrystalline glass and reduce the optical properties of the microcrystalline glass. Therefore, the molar percentage of Y2O3, La2O3 or Ta2O5 is controlled at 0.00mol%-1.00mol%.

When the center of the main surface of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic undergoes a deformation of 0.400 mm along the direction of force, the load borne by the center of the main surface of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic is ≥ 30 N. When a certain deformation occurs, the greater the load that the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic can withstand, the greater the load that the deformation can offset when the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic is subjected to compression or impact. Therefore, when the deformation contacts the inner glass screen, the compression or impact load on the inner glass screen will be smaller, and the possibility of failure of the inner glass screen will be reduced. Using chemically strengthened glass-ceramic that can withstand or offset large loads as cover glass helps to improve the problem of inner glass screen failure caused by impact or compression of the cover glass. In some embodiments, at a thickness of 0.5 mm, a 10 mm diameter round-headed metal pressure rod is used to squeeze the center of the main surface of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass. When the center of the main surface of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass is deformed by 0.400 mm along the direction of force, the load borne by the center of the main surface of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass can be 36.9 N, 38.6 N, 38.5 N, 33.8 N, 37.2 N, 34.9 N, 37.4 N, 39.2 N, 38.1 N, 37.6 N, 38.7 N, 37.8 N, 38.4 N, 39.4 N or 40.0 N, or a value above any of the above specific values, or a value within the numerical range formed by any two of the above specific values ​​as endpoints.

[0197] The chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass of the present application can be obtained by chemically strengthening the microcrystalline glass described above. The chemical strengthening process can be carried out with reference to the process in the prior art, for example, it can include but is not limited to: first heating the molten salt containing a certain sodium ion concentration to the temperature required for chemical strengthening, then preheating the microcrystalline glass (for example, a heating rate of 5°C / min-100°C / min can be used during preheating) to the required chemical strengthening temperature and then placing it in the molten salt. After constant temperature treatment until the time required for chemical strengthening is achieved, taking it out, cooling it to room temperature, cleaning the salt attached to the surface, and drying it to obtain a chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass with a high stress level and excellent deformation resistance.

[0198] In some embodiments of the present application, the temperature of the molten salt bath for chemical strengthening treatment may be 380° C.-550° C., and the time of chemical strengthening treatment may be 0.5 h-24 h.

[0199] In some embodiments of the present application, the molten salt comprises, by weight, 5-50% sodium salt, 50-95% potassium salt, and 0.01-0.30% lithium salt. Furthermore, the sodium salt, potassium salt, and lithium salt selected may each independently be a nitrate, sulfate, phosphate, or carbonate. In some embodiments, after the chemical strengthening treatment is completed, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics may be cooled at a cooling rate of 1°C / min to 50°C / min.

[0200] In this application, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic prepared from the aforementioned high-strength and transparent glass-ceramic exhibits excellent deformation resistance and drop damage resistance. When used as cover glass for electronic devices, this chemically strengthened glass-ceramic not only ensures that the cover glass is resistant to shattering, but also effectively prevents the cover glass from being squeezed or impacted, potentially causing the inner screen to break or fail, thereby ensuring better protection for the inner screen.

[0201] The transparent microcrystalline glass or chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass provided by the present application, which has excellent mechanical strength and excellent deformation resistance, can be used in electronic devices, including but not limited to mobile phones, tablet computers, handheld game consoles, portable digital devices (such as digital cameras), vehicle-mounted central control, electronic whiteboard glass, smart home, and can also be used in vehicles, aircraft or aircraft, and can also be used in any glass device of desired microcrystalline glass. For example, it can be used for display screens, cover glass, touch screens, glass inner screens or inner frames of electronic devices; for example, it can be used for windshields of vehicles, aircraft or aircraft, such as front windshields or side windshields. For example, it can be used for worktops, other surfaces, appliance doors, floor tiles, wall panels or storage containers. Other surfaces can include but are not limited to exterior wall surfaces, stair tread surfaces, column veneers or counter surfaces, and storage containers can include but are not limited to cups, plates, medicine bottles or beverage bottles.

[0204] Example 1

[0205] (1) Preparation of substrate glass:

[0206] Prepare raw materials with a total mass of 1000g (the raw materials are configured according to the formula of S1 in Table 1, and the proportions of each oxide are shown in Table 2), and add 5g of sodium chloride to the configured raw materials, mix at a speed of 25r / min in a V-type mixer for 30min, and melt in a platinum crucible at 1650℃ for 5h, then pour into a mold to form a glass brick, cool to 900℃, put into a 460℃ annealing furnace for annealing for 12h, and then cool to room temperature with the furnace to obtain the base glass brick.

[0207] (2) Preparation of glass-ceramics: The base glass brick was placed in a crystallization furnace and heated from room temperature to 525°C at a rate of 10°C / min for nucleation. After being kept at this temperature for 240 min, the temperature was then raised to 685°C at a rate of 10°C / min for crystallization. The temperature was kept at this temperature for 60 min, and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 1°C / min to obtain a glass-ceramic sample brick. The composition of the prepared glass-ceramics was the same as that of the base glass in terms of molar percentage of oxides, as shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0208] The obtained glass-ceramic bricks are sequentially cut, CNC-machined (the CNC equipment model used in this application is RCG500S), and polished to produce glass-ceramic samples that meet the required specifications and requirements. In this application, the glass-ceramic bricks were subjected to the aforementioned cold working treatment to produce glass-ceramic samples with a thickness of 0.50 mm, specifically, 50 mm × 50 mm × 0.5 mm glass-ceramic polished sheet samples.

[0211] (3) Preparation of chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass: The obtained microcrystalline glass sample is placed in the strengthening furnace cavity for preheating for 5 minutes. After preheating, it is quickly placed in molten salt at 450°C for chemical strengthening. The composition of the molten salt is 29.99wt% NaNO3+69.98wt% KNO3+0.03wt% LiNO3. After chemical strengthening for 21.0 hours, the glass sample is taken out and placed on the strengthening furnace body to slowly cool to room temperature. The salt wrapped on the glass surface is washed off with clean water. After the glass sample is dried, the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass can be obtained.

[0212] Test results of chemically strengthened glass-ceramics obtained in S1:

[0213] Ⅰ. The chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass was measured using an SLP 2000 (Luceo, Japan) stress meter (the light source wavelength used was 518 nm, SOC = 25.5 (nm / cm) / MPa, the refractive index was set according to the refractive index value of the microcrystalline glass sample, the refractive index of the microcrystalline glass sample in S1 was 1.5600, and the exposure time was 300 μsec). |CT_CV|, DOL_0, and |CT_AV| were then calculated. The tensile stress linear density (CT_LD) value was shown in Table 4.

[0214] II. The Vickers hardness of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics was tested. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0215] III. Testing the deformation resistance of chemically strengthened glass-ceramics, such as the deformation of chemically strengthened glass-ceramics under a load of 10 kgf; and the load borne by chemically strengthened glass-ceramics when a deformation of 0.40 mm occurs. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0216] Example 2-Example 18

[0217] The above steps are respectively carried out with reference to Example 1, except that the raw material composition, different process parameters and corresponding test results of each example are shown in Tables 1 to 4, respectively.

[0218] The DSC curve of the substrate glass of Example 3 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the figure, you can refer to this figure to determine the heat treatment process used when preparing microcrystalline glass from the substrate glass.

[0219] The XRD pattern of the glass-ceramics of Example 3 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the main crystalline phase in the microcrystalline glass is the lithium disilicate crystalline phase.

[0220] The transmittance curve of the glass-ceramics of Example 3 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the microcrystalline glass is transparent in the visible light range and has high transmittance.

[0221] The load-deformation curve of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics of Example 3 is shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the deformation of chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass under different load extrusion, as well as the load conditions that the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass bears when different deformations occur.

[0222] Comparative Example 1-Comparative Example 8

[0223] The above methods are respectively carried out with reference to Example 1, except that the raw material composition, different process parameters and corresponding test results of each comparative example are shown in Tables 5 to 8, respectively.

[0224] The load deformation curve of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics of Comparative Example 3 is as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0225] Crystallization upper limit temperature test: In order to analyze the industrial mass production feasibility of the microcrystalline glass of the present application, the crystallization upper limit temperature of the substrate glass of some embodiments was tested. Among them, the crystallization upper limit temperature of the substrate glass of S3 was 1067.2°C, and the crystallization upper limit temperature of the substrate glass of S4 was 1053.5°C, both lower than 1100°C. The crystallization upper limit temperature is between 1000°C and 1100°C, indicating that the microcrystalline glass of the present application is conducive to industrial mass production.

[0226] Expansion softening point test: In order to analyze the 3D hot bending effect of the microcrystalline glass of the present application, the expansion softening point of the microcrystalline glass in some embodiments was tested, see Table 3 for details. From the test results, it can be seen that the expansion softening point of the microcrystalline glass of the present application is lower than 830°C, and is between 750°C and 850°C, indicating that the microcrystalline glass of the present application is conducive to 3D hot bending forming to prepare 3D curved microcrystalline glass.

[0227]

[0228]

[0229]

[0230]

[0231]

[0232] It can be seen from the examples in Tables 1 to 4 and the comparative examples in Tables 5 to 8 that, relative to the comparative example, the embodiment scheme of the present application satisfies the content range of each oxide while also satisfying the specific oxide content relationship, and the obtained microcrystalline glass has excellent optical properties and high Young's modulus, and the lithium disilicate crystal phase is the main crystal phase of the microcrystalline glass. Moreover, the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass prepared by the microcrystalline glass of the embodiment of the present application can obtain a high stress level and high mechanical strength performance, and its deformation resistance is significantly better than the comparative example. In addition, the upper limit temperature of crystallization of the substrate glass corresponding to the microcrystalline glass of the embodiment of the present application is relatively low, indicating that it is suitable for industrial mass production. At the same time, the expansion softening point temperature of the microcrystalline glass of the embodiment of the present application is appropriate, indicating that it is suitable for 3D hot bending to form 3D curved microcrystalline glass.

[0233] However, in the solutions of Comparative Examples 1 to 8, the glass formulas do not simultaneously meet: the content ranges of the various oxides in this application, as well as the specific oxide content relationships. The resulting microcrystalline glass either has poor optical properties, or it is impossible to prepare chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass with superior deformation resistance.

[0234] contrast Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that when the center of the main surface of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass of Example 3 of the present application is squeezed to produce a deformation of 0.40 mm, the load it bears or offsets is significantly greater than that of Comparative Example 3. It can be seen that the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass of the present application has better anti-deformation ability.

Within the technical concept of the present application, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present application, including combining the various technical features in any other appropriate manner. These simple modifications and combinations should also be regarded as the contents disclosed in the present application and fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
