Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the application of a glass material and its production equipment and methods, specifically to the technical field of the application of a glass with atomically precise network structure manufacturing characteristics, low forming zone temperature, and special glass material properties.

[0002] The invention has a wide range of applications, including the following: anti-theft and anti-robbery glass, bulletproof glass, automotive glass, marine glass, aerospace glass, fireproof glass, special high-strength ultra-large area architectural landscape glass, electronic glass, special AMOLED display glass, foldable screen glass, cover glass, special liquid crystal display glass, glass wafer substrate, glass substrate chip packaging, special high-strength colored glaze glass and composite materials, special high-strength imitation natural stone wall and floor colored glaze glass, special cylindrical glass, special colored glaze glass decorative aluminum plate and aluminum-plastic composite glass composite materials, special high-strength microcrystalline glass, etc. Background Technology

[0003] The application of this invention, featuring a glass with atomically precise network structure, low forming zone temperature, and unique glass properties, differs from the closest existing technologies in that it addresses a different technical problem. Furthermore, the disclosed technical features are also different.

[0004] Neither the background art [I] nor any prior background art [2] reveals:

[0005] This invention relates to the application of a glass with atomically precise network structure manufacturing characteristics, low forming zone temperature, and special glass material properties, the content of a technical solution, and the newly discovered and generated material properties based on the content of the technical solution, and the technical problems that can be solved by utilizing the newly discovered and generated material properties.

[0006] Background Art [1]: Sodium-calcium glass and some prior art. Background Art [2]: Authorization Announcement No. CN103232160B Authorization Announcement Date 2018.07.24 Invention Title - A flat glass with a low coefficient of thermal expansion and its manufacturing process, etc.

[0007] Although the present invention has some negative effects compared to the prior art [1] and [2] in some aspects, it has significant positive technical effects in other aspects.

[0008] 1. Application of a glass with atomic-level precision network structure manufacturing characteristics, low forming zone temperature, and special glass material characteristics - The glass has a specific chemical composition range, and the disclosed technical features are also different from the background art [1] and [2]: The technical features disclosed in this invention are that the glass has a specific chemical composition range, and the chemical composition of the glass product, calculated by weight percentage, includes: boron oxide content of 2-20%, magnesium oxide content of 4-20%, aluminum oxide content of 13-45%, sodium oxide or potassium oxide content of 0-20%, wherein the silicon oxide content is 0.8-6 times that of calcium oxide content, the calcium oxide content is 0.3-2.5 times that of magnesium oxide content, and the viscosity range of the glass melt entering the forming operation zone is (4.25-5.57)log P, and the temperature is 850℃-1240℃ or less than 850℃-1240℃. The technical features disclosed in this invention are also different from the background art [1] and [2].

[0009] 2. The application of a newly discovered glass with atomically precise network structure manufacturing characteristics, low forming zone temperature, and special glass material properties (the glass product with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the above technical solution) can be tested using an atmosphere furnace with precise temperature control or a high-temperature glass viscosity tester under conditions where the platinum rotor is stopped. From the forming viscosity temperature (2.8) log P to the forming operation zone temperature, the viscosity range in this process stage is (4.25-5.57) log P. Within a time of at least 60 minutes, the glass melt will not crystallize. Quantifiable data on the long-term properties of the glass material can be obtained, as well as data on whether it will affect the formation of crystals in the glass product during production. This can be newly discovered and quantitatively tested.

[0010] The alkali-free glass with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina content, which can explain the new properties of the low forming zone temperature and special glass material characteristics, can overcome and solve the historical technical problem that has plagued the production of high-alumina glass products for a long time, which is that the product material properties are short and therefore easily crystallize and cannot be produced normally. The technical features of this invention are also different from the background technology [1] and [2]. It utilizes the application of a glass with atomic-level precision network structure manufacturing characteristics and low forming zone temperature and special glass material characteristics of this invention - a newly discovered quantitative testing method, which can obtain data on the length of the glass material properties, and solves the technical problems of glass product application that are also different from the background technology [1] and [2].

[0011] 3. Glass products containing 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the above-mentioned technical solutions of the present invention have been newly discovered to possess new properties of glass with atomic-level precision network structure manufacturing characteristics, low forming zone temperature, and special glass material characteristics. Utilizing the new properties of the glass network structure, unexpected technical effects such as an elastic modulus of 75-160 GPa and a fracture toughness of 0.7-1.5 (MPa*m1 / 2) can be achieved. Especially in the application of glass, a fragile material, it can have higher fracture toughness and strength properties than existing technology products. In terms of quantifiable major technical characteristics (for example, the elastic modulus of ordinary glass products is only 40-50 GPa, and the fracture toughness is only 0.3-0.4 (MPa*m1 / 2), the technical effects produced by the technical solution of the present invention are much better. The technical problems solved in the application of glass products are also different from those in the background technologies [1] and [2].

[0012] 4. Furthermore, by utilizing these new physicochemical properties (the glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the above-mentioned technical solutions of the present invention), the historical technical problem of the short product material properties of glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the traditional prior art, which makes them prone to crystallization, can be overcome and solved. In terms of production equipment for glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the above-mentioned technical solutions of the present invention, the high-cost platinum-rhodium alloy channel structure is omitted, resulting in unexpected technical effects. Its technical features are also different from those of the background art [1] and [2]. The technical effects and the technical problems solved in the application of glass products are also different from those of the background art [1] and [2].

[0013] 5. Furthermore, by utilizing these new physicochemical properties (the glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the above-mentioned technical solutions of the present invention), the historical technical problem of the short product material properties of glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the traditional prior art, which makes them prone to crystallization, can be overcome and solved. In the production of the revolutionary glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the above-mentioned technical solutions of the present invention, it is possible to achieve a revolutionary improvement over the glass products with 13% or more alumina in the prior art, saving 50-60% of energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions by 50-60%, and its technical features are also different from the background art [1] and [2]. Unexpected technical effects are produced, and the technical effects and the technical problems solved in the application of glass products are also different from the background art [1] and [2]. (1)

[0015] This invention relates to the application of a newly discovered glass with atomically precise network structure manufacturing characteristics, low forming zone temperature, and special glass properties (the 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina glass products in the above technical solutions). A quantitative testing method can be used to obtain data on the length and quality of the glass properties, and whether they affect the formation of crystals during the glass product's production. The explanation is as follows:

[0016] 1. In the float glass process, during the stages of glass ribbon entering the tin bath, leveling, and polishing (viscosity logarithm of (2.7-3.2)log P), the process takes approximately 6 minutes. Then, the glass ribbon is pulled by approximately 20 pairs of edge-pulling machines to a thickness of 0.3-0.5mm (viscosity logarithm of (4.2-5.75)log P) to a thickness of approximately 6 minutes, reaching a viscosity logarithm of (5.75-8)log P. At this point, the glass ribbon is nearly hardened and will not crystallize, at which point it leaves the tin bath (viscosity logarithm of (5.75-8)log P). The total time is approximately 18 minutes.

[0017] This invention employs a quantitative testing method, focusing not on the glass crystallization point temperature, but more importantly on the low crystallization strength and short material properties, especially for alkali-free glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina content. A quantifiable testing method is used to measure the time from when the molten glass enters the forming process to when it hardens and no longer crystallizes, obtaining data on the length of the glass material properties and whether this affects the formation of crystals in the glass product during production.

[0018] 2. For example, the quantitative testing method used in this invention is shown in Example 1:

[0019] We used a glass experimental atmosphere furnace with precise temperature control. The glass raw material of this invention was placed in a dry crucible for testing, melted, and then cooled after reaching 1400 degrees Celsius. Next, the temperature was controlled to maintain the glass at a viscosity logarithm of (2.7-3.2) log P, then at (4.2-5.75) log P, and finally at (5.75-10) log P, for a total time exceeding 60 minutes before removal. The requirement was that the melted glass in the experimental dry crucible should not exhibit crystallization after removal. This means that even with a time exceeding three times the approximately 18 minutes required for the glass to enter the tin bath and harden during glass production (60 minutes), crystallization should not occur.

[0020] 3. Regarding the testing we used or the glass high-temperature viscosity tester: Why, when testing with the glass high-temperature viscosity tester, is the rotation of the platinum rotor stopped when the molten glass enters the bubble-removing viscosity temperature stage (2.0)log P logarithmic value?

[0021] For example, in the production of alkali-free glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina according to the present invention, when using a high-temperature viscometer to test the viscosity temperature of the glass, because the glass viscosity is low in the high-temperature zone, the platinum rotor has to rotate once every 2-3 minutes in a very small dry crucible in glass melt that is hundreds of thousands of times less than the production conditions, which will generate a high proportion of friction on the glass melt.

[0022] According to the principles of crystallization conditions in glass technology, a high proportion of friction caused by the continuous rotation of molten glass makes it easier for alumina in the molten glass to transform into seed crystals, increasing the intensity of glass crystallization and causing problems such as grain growth and glass devitrification.

[0023] In the stage of viscosity logarithm (1, 5) - (3.0 - 5.5) log P, if the high temperature viscometer rotates at 2 degrees per minute for about 3-4 hours during a long process, it is easy to increase the glass crystallization intensity. Alumina is easy to transform into crystal seed, which increases the glass crystallization intensity and produces grain growth and glass devitrification. This is different from the normal glass production process.

[0024] In the float glass process, during the glass ribbon leveling and polishing stages: the viscosity logarithm of this zone is (2.7-3.2) log P. The glass ribbon enters the tin bath and is pulled out after cooling – the viscosity logarithm of this zone is (5.75-7) log P. This takes approximately 12-15 minutes. Unlike high-temperature viscometers, which, due to the low viscosity of glass in the high-temperature zone, require the platinum rotor to rotate once every 2-3 minutes in a small volume of molten glass in a dry crucible, resulting in high friction against the molten glass, the platinum rotor cannot rotate for 3-4 hours in a small volume of molten glass. This friction easily increases the glass crystallization intensity, and alumina easily transforms into seed crystals, further increasing the glass crystallization intensity and leading to grain growth and glass devitrification.

[0025] Therefore, the application of the glass with atomically precise network structure manufacturing characteristics, low forming zone temperature, and special glass material characteristics of this invention—a newly discovered glass product with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the above technical solution—can be tested using a quantitative testing method under certain conditions using a high-temperature glass viscosity tester: 1. The forming viscosity temperature at which the glass melt enters the forming operation zone, where the viscosity range is (4.25-5.57) log P; 3. The viscosity temperature at which the glass melt enters the forming operation zone, where the viscosity range is (5.75-8) log P; P, the glass ribbon is nearing the viscosity and temperature stage of hardening and will not crystallize; after a time of not less than 60 minutes, the glass does not crystallize. When the glass melt is kept at a temperature 3 times longer than normal production conditions, or 6-9 times longer (120-180 minutes), crystallization still does not occur. This proves that the high-tech product of this invention, alkali-free glass with low crystallization strength and short material properties (13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina), can solve the historical technical problem that has plagued the production of products with short material properties, making them prone to crystallization and unable to be produced normally—a problem that people have long wanted to solve but have not been able to solve.

[0027] The industrial revolution of the three-dimensional network structure of glass products manufactured at the atomic level:

[0028] Our innovation in glass materials stems from fundamental technological breakthroughs that transform the three-dimensional network structure of glass products manufactured at the atomic level, rather than simply introducing new glass materials. It involves innovative breakthroughs in hundreds of different sub-categories of glass product components and their varying physicochemical properties.

[0029] [I] In the three-dimensional network structure of atoms in glass product technology, alumina is a network intermediate oxide. This is due to the relationship between network generation and network externalities.

[0030] There are only two types of network structures in glass product technology: The first is a network structure where aluminum and silicon atoms are linked together by sharing one or two oxygen atoms; this is the strongest network structure in glass materials. The second is a network structure where silicon atoms are linked together by sharing one oxygen atom; this network structure is weaker and more easily disrupted by the presence of alkaline components such as potassium or sodium in the glass. This significantly reduces the glass's properties, including fracture toughness, elastic modulus, microhardness, and abrasion resistance.

[0031] 3. When the alumina content is less than 2%, the aluminum atoms in the flat glass are almost entirely in a 4-coordinate configuration, forming a structure where the aluminum atom is surrounded by four oxygen atoms.

[0032] When the alumina content exceeds 10%, aluminum atoms in flat glass will exist in 4-, 6-, or 8-coordinated forms, forming a structure with 4, 6, or 8 oxygen atoms surrounding the aluminum atom.

[0033] Figure 1 and Figure 2 These are schematic diagrams of a spatial network structure formed by silicon-oxygen tetrahedra and aluminum-oxygen tetrahedra sharing oxygen atoms at their vertices.

[0034] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the octahedral structure of an aluminum atom surrounded by eight oxygen atoms.

[0035] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the tetrahedral structure of the four atoms surrounding a silicon atom.

[0036] 4. Based on scientific research, we can conclude that:

[0037] The first type is a network structure in which silicon atoms are linked together by sharing an oxygen atom. When this network structure increases or decreases by 25%, there is no significant change in the glass's fracture toughness, elastic modulus, microhardness, and abrasion resistance.

[0038] The second type is: the alumina content in flat glass varies by 5% or 30%. When it increases or decreases by 25%, the network structure in which aluminum atoms and silicon atoms share one or two oxygen atoms will be linked together. When it increases or decreases by 25%, the glass's fracture toughness, elastic modulus, microhardness and wear resistance will undergo very significant changes.

[0039] [III] Furthermore, when the alumina content in the technical solution of this invention is 26-30%-35-45%, these network structures will form a three-dimensional network structure in which aluminum atoms and silicon atoms are linked together by sharing one or two oxygen atoms in 50-85% of the entire three-dimensional space of the flat glass. This is different from chemical strengthening, which only generates compressive stress on the glass surface to improve the hardness of the glass surface.

[0040] The more of this three-dimensional network structure of atoms that appears, the higher the overall fracture toughness, elastic modulus, microhardness, and wear resistance of the resulting glass product will be. Summary of the Invention

[0041] An application of a glass with atomically precise network structure manufacturing characteristics, low forming zone temperature, and special glass material properties, characterized in that the chemical composition of the glass product, calculated by weight percentage, includes: 2-20% boron oxide, 4-20% magnesium oxide, 13-45% aluminum oxide, 0-6% zirconium, and 0-20% sodium oxide or potassium oxide, wherein the content of silicon oxide is 0.8-6 times that of calcium oxide, the content of calcium oxide is 0.3-2.5 times that of magnesium oxide, and the viscosity range of the glass melt entering the forming operation zone is (4.25-5.57)log P, and the temperature is 850℃-1240℃ or less than 850℃-1240℃.

The fracture toughness of the glass network structure glass material is 0.7-1.5 (MPa*m1 / 2), and the elastic modulus is 75-160 Gpa.

[0043] Using a temperature-controlled atmosphere furnace or a glass high-temperature viscosity tester with the platinum rotor stopped, the glass melt enters the forming viscosity temperature range of (2.8)log P and then enters the forming operation zone. The viscosity temperature range of this zone is (4.25-5.57)log P. If the glass melt passes through this process zone for at least 60 minutes, the glass melt will not exhibit any special glass material characteristics such as crystallization.

[0044] Furthermore, the chemical composition of this glass material, calculated by weight percentage, is 18-45% alumina, and its melting viscosity logarithm (1.5)log P is 1450-1590℃ or less than 1450-1590℃; during the degassing and clarification process, the viscosity logarithm (2.0)log P is 1380-1480℃ or less than 1380-1480℃; and (3.0)log P is 1250-1400℃ or less than 1250-1400℃.

[0045] Furthermore, this includes applications such as: high elastic modulus and high fracture toughness anti-theft and anti-robbery glass; high elastic modulus and high fracture toughness bulletproof glass; high elastic modulus and high fracture toughness automotive glass; high elastic modulus and high fracture toughness marine glass; high elastic modulus and high fracture toughness aerospace glass; high elastic modulus and high fracture toughness fireproof glass; and high elastic modulus and high fracture toughness special high-strength ultra-large area architectural and landscape glass.

[0047] Furthermore, this includes applications of glass wafer substrates with high elastic modulus and high fracture toughness, and glass substrate chip packaging with high elastic modulus and high fracture toughness.

[0048] Furthermore, this includes: the application of special high-strength colored glaze glass and composite materials with high elastic modulus and high fracture toughness; the application of special high-strength cloned natural stone colored glaze glass for walls and floors; the application of special cylindrical glass with high elastic modulus and high fracture toughness; the application of special colored glaze glass decorative aluminum panels and aluminum-plastic composite glass composite materials with high elastic modulus and high fracture toughness; the application of special high-strength microcrystalline glass with high elastic modulus and high fracture toughness; and the application of special high-strength cloned natural stone for furniture panels and bathroom / kitchen panel glass.

Detailed Implementation

[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0057] Example 1:

[0058] The present invention relates to an application of a glass with atomically precise network structure manufacturing characteristics, low forming zone temperature, and special glass material properties. This application differs from the closest existing technology in that it addresses a different technical problem and discloses different technical features.

[0059] 1. The glass of the present invention has a specific range of chemical composition, and the disclosed technical features are also different from those of the background art [1] and [2]: The disclosed technical features of the present invention are that the glass has a specific range of chemical composition, and the chemical composition of the glass product, calculated by weight percentage, includes: a boron oxide content of 2-20%, a magnesium oxide content of 4-20%, an aluminum oxide content of 13-45%, a sodium oxide or potassium oxide content of 0-20%, wherein the silicon oxide content is 0.8-6 times that of the calcium oxide content, the calcium oxide content is 0.3-2.5 times that of the magnesium oxide content, and the viscosity range of the glass melt entering the forming operation zone of the process stage is (4.25-5.57)logP, and the temperature is 850℃-1240℃ or less than 850℃-1240℃. The disclosed technical features of the present invention are also different from those of the background art [1] and [2].

[0060] 2. The application of a glass with atomic-level precision network structure manufacturing characteristics, low forming zone temperature, and special glass material characteristics of the present invention - a newly discovered (glass product with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the above technical solution) can be quantitatively tested to obtain quantifiable data on the length of the glass material properties, and to obtain data on whether it will affect the formation of crystals in the glass product during production. The new property characteristics of the glass product with low crystallization strength and short material properties can be newly discovered and quantitatively tested. It can prove that the high-tech products such as the alkali-free glass with low crystallization strength and short material properties of 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina of the present invention can overcome and solve the historical technical problem proposed by traditional prior art theory that the product material properties of high alumina glass products are short, so they are prone to crystallization and cannot be produced normally. The technical features of the present invention are also different from the background technology [1] and [2]. The invention utilizes a newly discovered quantitative testing method for glass applications with atomically precise network structure manufacturing characteristics, low forming zone temperature, and special glass material characteristics. It can obtain data on the long and short properties of glass material and solve technical problems in glass product applications that are different from those in the background technologies [1] and [2].

[0061] 3. Glass products containing 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the above-mentioned technical solution of the present invention have a newly discovered property that can form a glass network structure in device products with specific atomic-level structural characteristics. Utilizing the new property of the glass network structure, unexpected technical effects such as an elastic modulus of 75-160 GPa and a fracture toughness of 0.7-1.5 (MPa*m1 / 2) can be achieved. Especially in the application of glass, a fragile material, it can have higher fracture toughness and strength properties than existing technology products. In terms of quantifying such important technical characteristics (for example, the elastic modulus of ordinary glass products is only 40-50 GPa and the fracture toughness is only 0.3-0.4 (MPa*m1 / 2), the technical effect produced by the technical solution of the present invention is much better. The technical problems solved in the application of glass products are also different from those in the background technologies [1] and [2].

[0062] 4. Furthermore, by utilizing these new physicochemical properties (the glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the above-mentioned technical solutions of the present invention), the historical technical problem of the short product material properties of glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the traditional prior art, which makes them prone to crystallization, can be overcome and solved. In terms of production equipment for glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the above-mentioned technical solutions of the present invention, the high-cost platinum-rhodium alloy channel structure is omitted, resulting in unexpected technical effects. Its technical features are also different from those of the background art [1] and [2]. The technical effects and the technical problems solved in the application of glass products are also different from those of the background art [1] and [2].

[0063] 5. Furthermore, by utilizing these new physicochemical properties (the glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the above-mentioned technical solutions of the present invention), the historical technical problem of the short product material properties of glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the traditional prior art, which makes them prone to crystallization, can be overcome and solved. In the production of the revolutionary glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the above-mentioned technical solutions of the present invention, it is possible to achieve a revolutionary improvement over the glass products with 13% or more alumina in the prior art, saving 50-60% of energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions by 50-60%, and its technical characteristics are also different from the background art [1] and [2]. Unexpected technical effects are produced, and the technical effects and the technical problems solved in the application of glass products are also different from the background art [1] and [2].

[0064] 6. A forming process for a glass material with low crystallization strength, short crystallization period, high elastic modulus, high fracture toughness, and low forming zone temperature includes, but is not limited to, float glass forming, calendering forming, casting forming, slurry drawing forming, slurry forming, and tube drawing forming.

[0065] 7. Background Art [1]: Sodium-calcium glass and some prior art. Background Art [2]: Authorization Announcement No. CN103232160B Authorization Announcement Date 2018.07.24 Invention Title - A flat glass with a low coefficient of thermal expansion and its manufacturing process and other technologies.

[0066] Although the present invention has some negative effects compared to the prior art [1] and [2] in some aspects, it has significant positive technical effects in other aspects.

[0067] The glass of this invention has a specific range of chemical composition, and its disclosed technical features are also different from those in the prior art [1] and [2]: In the technical features disclosed in this invention, the viscosity range of the glass melt entering the melting process stage region when the alumina content is 18-35% is logarithmically (1.5)logP, and the viscosity range of the glass melt entering the bubble removal and clarification process stage region is logarithmically (2.0)logP, and the viscosity range of the glass melt entering the bubble removal and clarification process stage region is only 1440-1380℃. This is nearly 200℃ lower than the 1730-1610℃ of alkali-free glass with an alumina content of 13% in the prior art.

[0068] Therefore, this invention overcomes the production difficulties of traditional glass products with an alumina content of 13% or higher, especially alkali-free glass products. These production methods rely on expensive and scarce platinum-rhodium alloy channels, which are high-energy-consuming, high-temperature processes. This leads to increased power plant consumption and higher carbon emissions throughout the product's lifecycle. Furthermore, industry professionals know that in glass processing, energy consumption increases by 50% for every 100°C increase above 1600°C. Therefore, this invention offers a revolutionary improvement over existing glass products with 13% or higher alumina content, saving 50-60% in energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions by 50-60%, resulting in unexpected technological benefits.

[0069] In the embodiments, the cerium oxide content may be 0.5%, 0.5-1%, 1-2%, or 2-9%.

[0070] In the examples, the sodium oxide content may be 0-0.5%, 2-3.5%, 3-5%, 5-10%, or 5-18%.

[0071] In the embodiments, the glass structure of the present invention, characterized by an atomic-level network structure, contains 0.3-6% zirconium. This zirconium undergoes a phase transition at high temperatures, creating stress within the three-dimensional space of the glass, thus increasing the elastic modulus of the glass. Furthermore, the 0.3-4% zirconium content contributes to high thermal shock resistance, preventing cracking or breakage during rapid temperature changes. Finally, the 1-6% zirconium content, coupled with its diameter exceeding the wavelength of visible light, contributes to the glass's opacity, allowing for various product applications.

Especially in the application of fragile materials like glass, it can exhibit higher fracture toughness and strength properties than existing technology products. In terms of quantifiable issues related to these significant technical characteristics (for example, the elastic modulus of ordinary glass products is only 40-50 GPa, and the fracture toughness is only 0.3-0.4 (MPa*m1 / 2), the technical effects produced by the technical solution of the present invention are much better.

[0081] 5. Furthermore, by utilizing these new physicochemical properties (the glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the above-mentioned technical solutions of the present invention), the historical technical problem of the short product material properties of glass products with 13-26 or 26-36-45% alumina in the traditional prior art, which makes them prone to crystallization, can be overcome and solved.

[0083] In the embodiments, the cerium oxide content may be 0.5%, 0.5-1%, 1-2%, or 2-9%.

[0084] 7. Background Art [1]: Sodium-calcium glass and some prior art. Background Art [2]: Authorization Announcement No. CN103232160B Authorization Announcement Date 2018.07.24 Invention Title - A flat glass with a low coefficient of thermal expansion and its manufacturing process and other technologies.

[0085] Although the present invention has some negative effects compared to the prior art [1] and [2] in some aspects, it has significant positive technical effects in other aspects.

[0086] The glass of this invention has a specific range of chemical composition, and its disclosed technical features are also different from those in the prior art [1] and [2]: In the technical features disclosed in this invention, the viscosity range of the glass melt entering the melting process stage region when the alumina content is 18-35% is logarithmically (1.5)logP, and the viscosity range of the glass melt entering the bubble removal and clarification process stage region is logarithmically (2.0)logP, and the viscosity range of the glass melt entering the bubble removal and clarification process stage region is only 1440-1380℃. This is nearly 200℃ lower than the 1730-1610℃ of alkali-free glass with an alumina content of 13% in the prior art.

[0087] Therefore, this invention overcomes the production difficulties of traditional glass products with an alumina content of 13% or higher, especially alkali-free glass products. These production methods rely on expensive and scarce platinum-rhodium alloy channels, which are high-energy-consuming, high-temperature processes. This leads to increased power plant consumption and higher carbon emissions throughout the product's lifecycle. Furthermore, industry professionals know that in glass processing, energy consumption increases by 50% for every 100°C increase above 1600°C. Therefore, this invention offers a revolutionary improvement over existing glass products with 13% or higher alumina content, saving 50-60% in energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions by 50-60%, resulting in unexpected technological benefits.

[0088] In the examples, the sodium oxide content may be 0-0.5%, 2-3.5%, 3-5%, 5-10%, or 5-18%.

[0089] In the embodiments, the glass structure of the present invention, characterized by an atomic-level network structure, contains 0.3-6% zirconium. This zirconium undergoes a phase transition at high temperatures, creating stress within the three-dimensional space of the glass, thus increasing its elastic modulus. Furthermore, the 0.3-4% zirconium content contributes to high thermal shock resistance, preventing cracking or breakage during rapid temperature changes. Finally, the 1-6% zirconium content, coupled with its diameter exceeding the wavelength of visible light, contributes to the glass's opacity, allowing for various product applications.

[0090] In the examples, the alumina content may be 13-18%, 18-24.5%, 24-30.5%, 30-36.5%, 36.5-40%, or 40.5-45%.

[0100] 7. Background Art [1]: Sodium-calcium glass and some prior art. Background Art [2]: Authorization Announcement No. CN103232160B Authorization Announcement Date 2018.07.24 Invention Title - A flat glass with a low coefficient of thermal expansion and its manufacturing process and other technologies.

[0101] Although the present invention has some negative effects compared to the prior art [1] and [2] in some aspects, it has significant positive technical effects in other aspects.

[0102] The glass of this invention has a specific range of chemical composition, and its disclosed technical features are also different from those in the prior art [1] and [2]: In the technical features disclosed in this invention, the viscosity range of the glass melt entering the melting process stage region when the alumina content is 18-35% is logarithmically (1.5)logP, and the viscosity range of the glass melt entering the bubble removal and clarification process stage region is logarithmically (2.0)logP, and the viscosity range of the glass melt entering the bubble removal and clarification process stage region is only 1440-1380℃. This is nearly 200℃ lower than the 1730-1610℃ of alkali-free glass with an alumina content of 13% in the prior art.

[0103] Therefore, this invention overcomes the production difficulties of traditional glass products with an alumina content of 13% or higher, especially alkali-free glass products. These production methods rely on expensive and scarce platinum-rhodium alloy channels, which are high-energy-consuming, high-temperature processes. This leads to increased power plant consumption and higher carbon emissions throughout the product's lifecycle. Furthermore, industry professionals know that in glass processing, energy consumption increases by 50% for every 100°C increase above 1600°C. Therefore, this invention offers a revolutionary improvement over existing glass products with 13% or higher alumina content, saving 50-60% in energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions by 50-60%, resulting in unexpected technological benefits.

[0104] In the embodiments, the cerium oxide content may be 0.5%, 0.5-1%, 1-2%, or 2-9%.

[0105] In the examples, the sodium oxide content may be 0-0.5%, 2-3.5%, 3-5%, 5-10%, or 5-18%.

[0106] In the embodiments, the glass structure of the present invention, characterized by an atomic-level network structure, contains 0.3-6% zirconium. This zirconium undergoes a phase transition at high temperatures, creating stress within the three-dimensional space of the glass, thus increasing the elastic modulus of the glass. Furthermore, the 0.3-4% zirconium content contributes to high thermal shock resistance, preventing cracking or breakage during rapid temperature changes. Finally, the 1-6% zirconium content, coupled with its diameter exceeding the wavelength of visible light, contributes to the glass's opacity, allowing for various product applications.

[0107] In the examples, the alumina content may be 13-18%, 18-24.5%, 24-30.5%, 30-36.5%, 36.5-40%, or 40.5-45%.

[0108] The application of glass wafer substrates with high elastic modulus and high fracture toughness, as well as glass substrate chips and packaging materials with high elastic modulus and high fracture toughness, has produced unexpected technical effects:

[0109] The first technical effect is that the present invention has a glass structure with atomic-level network structure manufacturing characteristics. When applied to glass wafer substrates, it can eliminate the need for photolithography machines and photoresists. This is actually a significant change in the entire technical route, which will reduce costs, improve efficiency, and make the technical route independent.

[0110] The second technical benefit is that this invention features an atomic-level network structure for manufacturing glass substrates. In applications with glass wafer substrates, the alkali-free glass with an alumina content of 26-36-45% exhibits significantly higher elastic modulus, flexural strength, and fracture toughness than ordinary high-alumina glass. Since drilling over a million holes in a fingernail-sized piece of glass using a femtosecond laser allows for thinner glass wafer substrates under the same strength requirements, it greatly reduces the processing energy and temperature of the laser femtosecond laser, thus significantly reducing the difficulty of heat dissipation at high temperatures. This has a substantial benefit in increasing the yield rate of glass wafer substrate production.

[0111] The third technical benefit is that this invention features an atomic-level network structure for manufacturing glass substrates. In applications with glass wafer substrates, the alkali-free glass with an alumina content of 26-36-45% exhibits significantly higher elastic modulus, flexural strength, and fracture toughness than ordinary high-alumina glass. Under the same strength conditions, the glass wafer substrate can be made thinner, helping to overcome the significant temperature differences caused by laser femtosecond laser equipment (which can only drill 5000 holes at a time, requiring 200 passes to drill a hole). This overcomes the difficulties of deformation and unevenness caused by the high temperature differences in the glass wafer substrate, and also helps to reduce the probability and difficulty of microcracks caused by temperature differences. This has a significant benefit in increasing the yield rate of glass wafer substrate production.

[0112] The fourth technical effect is that this invention features an atomic-level network structure in its glass structure manufacturing. In applications with glass wafer substrates, the alkali-free glass with an alumina content of 26-36-45% has significantly higher elastic modulus, flexural strength, and fracture toughness than ordinary high-alumina glass. Under the same strength conditions, the material of this invention allows for thinner glass wafer substrates, greatly reducing the diameter of the chipping at the bottom of the holes during laser femtosecond drilling. This helps overcome the problem of excessive chipping at the bottom of over a million holes, leading to interconnected chipping. This ensures that when using metal-filled processes, complex metal integrated circuits will not be connected in series, preventing unwanted intersections, interconnections, parallel connections, or misalignments. In other words, it greatly reduces the probability of such occurrences, significantly improving the yield rate in glass wafer substrate production.

[0113] Example 4:

[0114] Traditional glass products with an alumina content of over 13%, especially alkali-free glass, face challenges in production due to the need for expensive and scarce platinum-rhodium alloy channels. Moreover, the use of platinum-rhodium alloy channels involves high-energy-consuming, high-temperature processes, leading to increased power plant energy consumption and higher carbon emissions throughout the entire life cycle.

[0135] 7. Background Art [1]: Sodium-calcium glass and some prior art. Background Art [2]: Authorization Announcement No. CN103232160B Authorization Announcement Date 2018.07.24 Invention Title - A flat glass with a low coefficient of thermal expansion and its manufacturing process and other technologies.

[0136] Although the present invention has some negative effects compared to the prior art [1] and [2] in some aspects, it has significant positive technical effects in other aspects.

[0137] The glass of this invention has a specific range of chemical composition, and its disclosed technical features are also different from those in the prior art [1] and [2]: In the technical features disclosed in this invention, the viscosity range of the glass melt entering the melting process stage region when the alumina content is 18-35% is logarithmically (1.5)logP, and the viscosity range of the glass melt entering the bubble removal and clarification process stage region is logarithmically (2.0)logP, and the viscosity range of the glass melt entering the bubble removal and clarification process stage region is only 1440-1380℃. This is nearly 200℃ lower than the 1730-1610℃ of alkali-free glass with an alumina content of 13% in the prior art.

[0138] Therefore, this invention overcomes the production difficulties of traditional glass products with an alumina content of 13% or higher, especially alkali-free glass products. These production methods rely on expensive and scarce platinum-rhodium alloy channels, which are high-energy-consuming, high-temperature processes. This leads to increased power plant consumption and higher carbon emissions throughout the product's lifecycle. Furthermore, industry professionals know that in glass processing, energy consumption increases by 50% for every 100°C increase above 1600°C. Therefore, this invention offers a revolutionary improvement over existing glass products with 13% or higher alumina content, saving 50-60% in energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions by 50-60%, resulting in unexpected technological benefits.

[0139] In the embodiments, the cerium oxide content may be 0.5%, 0.5-1%, 1-2%, or 2-9%.

[0140] In the examples, the sodium oxide content may be 0-0.5%, 2-3.5%, 3-5%, 5-10%, or 5-18%.

[0141] In the embodiments, the glass structure of the present invention, characterized by an atomic-level network structure, contains 0.3-6% zirconium. This zirconium undergoes a phase transition at high temperatures, creating stress within the three-dimensional space of the glass, thus increasing its elastic modulus. Furthermore, the 0.3-4% zirconium content contributes to high thermal shock resistance, preventing cracking or breakage during rapid temperature changes. Finally, the 1-6% zirconium content, coupled with its diameter exceeding the wavelength of visible light, contributes to the glass's opacity, allowing for various product applications.

[0142] In the examples, the alumina content may be 13-18%, 18-24.5%, 24-30.5%, 30-36.5%, 36.5-40%, or 40.5-45%.
