[0003] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 591,953, filed November 29, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Technical Field
[0004] This specification generally relates to glass compositions suitable for use as cover glass in electronic devices. More specifically, this specification relates to lithium-containing aluminosilicate glasses, which can be formed into cover glass for electronic devices by fusion drawing. Background Technology
[0005] The mobile nature of portable devices such as smartphones, tablets, portable media players, personal computers, and cameras makes them particularly vulnerable to accidental drops onto hard surfaces like the ground. These devices often include a cover glass, which can be damaged upon impact with a hard surface. In many of these devices, the cover glass functions as a display screen cover and may also incorporate touch functionality, thus negatively impacting the device's usability when the cover glass is damaged.
[0006] When a portable device is dropped onto a hard surface, there are two main failure modes for the glass cover. One mode is flexure failure, which is caused by the bending of the glass when the device is subjected to dynamic loads from impact with a hard surface. The other mode is sharp contact failure, which is caused by damage introduced into the glass surface. Impact of glass with a rough, hard surface (such as asphalt, granite, etc.) results in sharp indentations in the glass surface. These indentations become failure sites in the glass surface, from which cracks can develop and propagate.
[0007] Ion exchange technology can make glass more resistant to bending failures, including by inducing compressive stress on the glass surface. However, ion-exchanged glass remains susceptible to dynamic sharp contacts due to the high stress concentration caused by localized indentations in the glass resulting from sharp contacts.
[0008] Glass manufacturers and handheld device manufacturers have been working to improve the resilience of handheld devices to sharp-contact failures. Solutions range from coatings on the cover glass to the panel itself: these solutions prevent the cover glass from directly impacting a hard surface when the device is dropped. However, due to aesthetic and functional limitations, it is difficult to completely prevent the cover glass from impacting hard surfaces.
[0009] It is also desirable for portable devices to be as thin as possible. Therefore, in addition to strength, it is desirable to manufacture the glass used as the cover glass in portable devices to be as thin as possible. Therefore, in addition to increasing the strength of the cover glass, it is desirable for the glass to have the mechanical properties required to be shaped by processes that enable the manufacture of thin glass articles (e.g., thin glass sheets).
[0010] Therefore, there is a demand for glass that can be strengthened, for example, by ion exchange, and that has the mechanical properties required to shape them into thin glass articles. Summary of the Invention

[0020] Reference will now be made in detail to alkali metal aluminosilicate glasses according to various embodiments. Alkali metal aluminosilicate glasses have good ion exchangeability, and chemical strengthening processes have been used to achieve high strength and high toughness properties in alkali metal aluminosilicate glasses. Sodium aluminosilicate glass is a highly ion-exchangeable glass with high glass formability and quality. Al2O3 substitution into the silicate glass network increases the interdiffusion rate of monovalent cations during ion exchange. By chemical strengthening in a molten salt bath (e.g., KNO3 and / or NaNO3), glasses with high strength, high toughness, and high resistance to indentation cracks can be achieved.
[0021] Therefore, the use of alkali metal aluminosilicate glasses, which possess excellent physical properties, chemical durability, and ion exchangeability, as covering glasses has attracted considerable attention. In particular, this paper presents lithium-containing aluminosilicate glasses with lower annealing and softening temperatures, lower coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) values, and rapid ion exchangeability. Greater center tension (CT), depth of compression (DOC), and compressive stress (CS) can be achieved through different ion exchange processes. However, the addition of lithium to alkali metal aluminosilicate glasses can lower the glass's melting point, softening point, or liquidus viscosity.
[0022] Drawing processes are desirable for forming glass articles (such as glass sheets) because they allow for the formation of thin glass articles with few defects. It was previously thought that glass compositions required relatively high liquidus viscosities—e.g., greater than 1000 kP, 1100 kP, or 1200 kP—to be shaped by drawing processes (such as melt drawing or slot drawing). However, advancements in drawing processes have made it possible to use glass with lower liquidus viscosities. Therefore, the glass used in drawing processes can include more lithium oxide than previously thought, and can include more glass network-forming components, such as, for example, SiO2, Al2O3, and B2O3. Consequently, this paper provides a balance of various glass components that allows the glass to achieve the benefits of adding lithium and glass network-forming agents to the glass composition without negatively impacting the composition.
[0023] In the embodiments of the glass compositions described herein, unless otherwise stated, the concentrations of the constituent components (e.g., SiO2, Al2O3, Li2O, etc.) are given as mole percentages (mol%) based on oxides. The components of the alkali metal aluminosilicate glass compositions according to each embodiment are discussed below. It should be understood that any of the various ranges of a component can be combined individually with any of the various ranges of any other component.
[0024] In the embodiments of the alkali metal aluminosilicate glass compositions disclosed herein, SiO2 is the most abundant component; for example, SiO2 is the main component of the glass network formed by the glass composition. Pure SiO2 has a relatively low CTE and does not contain alkali metals. However, pure SiO2 has a high melting point. Therefore, if the concentration of SiO2 in the glass composition is too high, the formability of the glass composition may be reduced because a higher concentration of SiO2 increases the difficulty of melting the glass, which in turn adversely affects the formability of the glass. In embodiments, the glass composition typically comprises an amount of SiO2 greater than or equal to 55.0 mol% to less than or equal to 70.0 mol%, and amounts of SiO2 in all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values. In some embodiments, the glass composition comprises an amount of SiO2 greater than or equal to 58.0 mol%, for example, greater than or equal to 60.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 62.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 64.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 66.0 mol%, or greater than or equal to 68.0 mol%. In embodiments, the glass composition comprises less than or equal to 68.0 mol% of SiO2, for example, less than or equal to 66.0 mol%, less than or equal to 64.0 mol%, less than or equal to 62.0 mol%, less than or equal to 60.0 mol%, or less than or equal to 58.0 mol%. It should be understood that in various embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other range. In embodiments, the glass composition comprises more than or equal to 58.0 mol% to less than or equal to 68.0 mol% of SiO2, for example, more than or equal to 60.0 mol% to less than or equal to 66.0 mol%, or more than or equal to 62.0 mol% to less than or equal to 64.0 mol%, and all ranges and sub-ranges between the foregoing values.
[0025] The glass compositions of various embodiments may further include Al2O3. Al2O3 can be used as a glass network forming agent, similar to SiO2. Al2O3 can increase the viscosity of the glass composition due to its tetrahedral coordination in the glass melt formed from the glass composition, and reduces the formability of the glass composition when the amount of Al2O3 is too large. However, when the concentration of Al2O3 is balanced with the concentration of SiO2 and alkali metal oxides in the glass composition, Al2O3 can lower the liquidus temperature of the glass melt, thereby increasing the liquidus viscosity and improving the compatibility of the glass composition with certain forming processes such as melt molding. In embodiments, the glass composition typically includes Al2O3 at a concentration greater than or equal to 12.0 mol% to less than or equal to 20.0 mol%, and at concentrations in all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values. In some embodiments, the glass composition comprises 13.0 mol% or more of Al2O3, for example, 14.0 mol% or more, 15.0 mol% or more, 16.0 mol% or more, 17.0 mol% or more, or 18.0 mol% or more. In other embodiments, the glass composition comprises less than or equal to 19.0 mol% of Al2O3, for example, 18.0 mol% or more, 17.0 mol% or more, 16.0 mol% or more, 15.0 mol% or more, 14.0 mol% or more, or 13.0 mol% or more. It should be understood that in each embodiment, any of the above ranges may be combined with any other range. In an embodiment, the glass composition comprises an amount of Al2O3 greater than or equal to 13.0 mol% to less than or equal to 19.0 mol%, for example greater than or equal to 14.0 mol% to less than or equal to 18.0 mol%, or greater than or equal to 15.0 mol% to less than or equal to 17.0 mol%, and all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values.
[0026] Similar to SiO2 and Al2O3, P2O5 can be added to glass compositions as a network forming agent, thereby reducing the meltability and formability of the glass composition. Therefore, P2O5 can be added in amounts that do not excessively degrade these properties. The addition of P2O5 can also increase the diffusivity of ions in the glass composition during ion exchange treatment, thereby improving the efficiency of these treatments. In embodiments, the glass composition may include amounts of P2O5 greater than or equal to 0.0 mol% to less than or equal to 5.0 mol%, and amounts in all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values. In some embodiments, the glass composition may include amounts of P2O5 greater than or equal to 0.5 mol%, such as greater than or equal to 1.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 3.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 3.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 4.0 mol%, or greater than or equal to 4.5 mol%. In embodiments, the glass composition may include an amount of P2O5 less than or equal to 4.5 mol%, for example, less than or equal to 4.0 mol%, less than or equal to 3.5 mol%, less than or equal to 3.0 mol%, less than or equal to 2.5 mol%, less than or equal to 2.0 mol%, less than or equal to 1.5 mol%, less than or equal to 1.0 mol%, or less than or equal to 0.5 mol%. It should be understood that in various embodiments, any of the above ranges may be combined with any other range. In embodiments, the glass composition may include an amount of P2O5 greater than or equal to 0.5 mol% to less than or equal to 4.5 mol%, for example, greater than or equal to 1.0 mol% to less than or equal to 4.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.5 mol% to less than or equal to 3.5 mol%, or greater than or equal to 2.0 mol% to less than or equal to 3.0 mol%, and all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values.
[0027] Similar to SiO2, Al2O3, and P2O5, B2O3 can be added to glass compositions as a network forming agent, thereby reducing the meltability and formability of the glass composition. Therefore, B2O3 can be added in amounts that do not excessively degrade these properties. In embodiments, the glass composition may include amounts of B2O3 greater than or equal to 0.0 mol% to less than or equal to 8.0 mol%, as well as amounts within all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values. In some embodiments, the glass composition may include an amount of B2O3 greater than or equal to 0.5 mol%, such as greater than or equal to 1.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 3.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 3.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 4.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 4.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 5.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 5.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 6.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 6.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 7.0 mol%, or greater than or equal to 7.5 mol%. In embodiments, the glass composition may include less than or equal to 7.5 mol% of B2O3, for example, less than or equal to 7.0 mol%, less than or equal to 6.5 mol%, less than or equal to 6.0 mol%, less than or equal to 5.5 mol%, less than or equal to 5.0 mol%, less than or equal to 4.5 mol%, less than or equal to 4.0 mol%, less than or equal to 3.5 mol%, less than or equal to 3.0 mol%, less than or equal to 2.5 mol%, less than or equal to 2.0 mol%, less than or equal to 1.5 mol%, less than or equal to 1.0 mol%, or less than or equal to 0.5 mol%. It should be understood that in various embodiments, any of the above ranges may be combined with any other range. In embodiments, the glass composition comprises an amount of B2O3 greater than or equal to 0.5 mol% to less than or equal to 7.5 mol%, for example greater than or equal to 1.0 mol% to less than or equal to 7.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.5 mol% to less than or equal to 6.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.0 mol% to less than or equal to 6.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.5 mol% to less than or equal to 5.5 mol%, or greater than or equal to 3.0 mol% to less than or equal to 5.0 mol%, as well as all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values.
[0028] In some embodiments, the glass composition includes at least one of B2O3 and P2O5 as a glass network forming element. Therefore, in embodiments, B2O3 + P2O5 is greater than 0.0 mol%, for example, greater than or equal to 0.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 3.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 3.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 4.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 4.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 5.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 5.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 6.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 6.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 7.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 7.5 mol%, or greater than or equal to 8.0 mol%, as well as all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. In embodiments, B2O3+P2O5 is less than or equal to 7.5 mol%, for example less than or equal to 7.0 mol%, less than or equal to 6.5 mol%, less than or equal to 6.0 mol%, less than or equal to 5.5 mol%, less than or equal to 5.0 mol%, less than or equal to 4.5 mol%, less than or equal to 4.0 mol%, less than or equal to 3.5 mol%, less than or equal to 3.0 mol%, less than or equal to 2.5 mol%, less than or equal to 2.0 mol%, less than or equal to 1.5 mol%, less than or equal to 1.0 mol%, or less than or equal to 0.5 mol%. It should be understood that in various embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other range. In embodiments, the glass composition comprises an amount of B2O3+P2O5 greater than or equal to 0.5 mol% to less than or equal to 7.5 mol%, for example greater than or equal to 1.0 mol% to less than or equal to 7.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.5 mol% to less than or equal to 6.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.0 mol% to less than or equal to 6.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.5 mol% to less than or equal to 5.5 mol%, or greater than or equal to 3.0 mol% to less than or equal to 5.0 mol%, as well as all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values.
[0029] The role of Li₂O in glass compositions has been discussed above and will be further elaborated below. To some extent, the addition of lithium to glass allows for better control of the ion exchange process and further reduces the softening point of the glass. In embodiments, the glass composition typically comprises an amount of Li₂O greater than or equal to 5.0 mol% to less than or equal to 15.0 mol%, and amounts of Li₂O within all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values. In some embodiments, the glass composition comprises 5.5 mol% or more of Li₂O, for example, 6.0 mol% or more, 6.5 mol% or more, 7.0 mol% or more, 7.5 mol% or more, 8.0 mol% or more, 8.5 mol% or more, 9.0 mol% or more, 9.5 mol% or more, 10.0 mol% or more, 10.5 mol% or more, 11.0 mol% or more, 11.5 mol% or more, 12.0 mol% or more, 12.5 mol% or more, 13.0 mol% or more, 13.5 mol% or more, 14.0 mol% or more, or 14.5 mol% or more. In some embodiments, the glass composition comprises less than or equal to 14.5 mol% of Li₂O, for example, less than or equal to 14.0 mol%, less than or equal to 13.5 mol%, less than or equal to 13.0 mol%, less than or equal to 12.5 mol%, less than or equal to 12.0 mol%, less than or equal to 11.5 mol%, less than or equal to 11.0 mol%, less than or equal to 10.5 mol%, less than or equal to 10.0 mol%, less than or equal to 9.5 mol%, less than or equal to 9.0 mol%, less than or equal to 8.5 mol%, less than or equal to 8.0 mol%, less than or equal to 7.5 mol%, less than or equal to 7.0 mol%, less than or equal to 6.5 mol%, less than or equal to 6.0 mol%, or less than or equal to 5.5 mol%. It should be understood that in each embodiment, any of the above ranges may be combined with any other range.In embodiments, the glass composition comprises an amount of Li₂O greater than or equal to 5.5 mol% to less than or equal to 14.5 mol%, for example greater than or equal to 6.0 mol% to less than or equal to 14.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 6.5 mol% to less than or equal to 13.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 7.0 mol% to less than or equal to 13.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 7.5 mol% to less than or equal to 12.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 8.0 mol% to less than or equal to 12.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 8.5 mol% to less than or equal to 11.5 mol%, or greater than or equal to 9.0 mol% to less than or equal to 10.0 mol%, as well as all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values.
[0030] In addition to being a glass network-forming component, Al₂O₃ also contributes to improving the ion exchangeability of the glass composition. Therefore, in embodiments, the amounts of Al₂O₃ and other ion-exchangeable components can be relatively high. For example, Li₂O is an ion-exchangeable component. In some embodiments, the amount of Al₂O₃ + Li₂O in the glass composition can be greater than 21.4 mol%, for example, greater than or equal to 22.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 22.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 23.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 23.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 24.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 24.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 25.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 25.5 mol%, or greater than or equal to 26.0 mol%, and all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. In some embodiments, the amount of Al₂O₃ + Li₂O is less than or equal to 26.5 mol%, for example, less than or equal to 26.0 mol%, less than or equal to 25.5 mol%, less than or equal to 25.0 mol%, less than or equal to 24.5 mol%, less than or equal to 24.0 mol%, less than or equal to 23.5 mol%, less than or equal to 23.0 mol%, less than or equal to 22.5 mol%, or less than or equal to 22.0 mol%, as well as all ranges and sub-ranges between the foregoing values. It should be understood that in various embodiments, any of the foregoing ranges can be combined with any other range. In the embodiments, the amount of Al2O3+Li2O is greater than or equal to 21.5 mol% to less than or equal to 26.5 mol%, for example, greater than or equal to 22.0 mol% to less than or equal to 26.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 22.5 mol% to less than or equal to 25.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 23.0 mol% to less than or equal to 25.0 mol%, or greater than or equal to 23.5 mol% to less than or equal to 24.5 mol%, as well as all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values.
[0031] According to embodiments, the glass composition may also include an alkali metal oxide other than Li₂O, such as Na₂O. Na₂O contributes to the ion exchangeability of the glass composition and also increases the melting point and improves the formability of the glass composition. However, if too much Na₂O is added to the glass composition, the CTE may be too low and the melting point may be too high. In embodiments, the glass composition typically includes an amount of Na₂O greater than 4.0 mol% to less than or equal to 15 mol%, and amounts of Na₂O within all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. In some embodiments, the glass composition comprises 4.5 mol% or more of Na₂O, for example, 5.0 mol% or more, 5.5 mol% or more, 6.0 mol% or more, 6.5 mol% or more, 7.0 mol% or more, 7.5 mol% or more, 8.0 mol% or more, 8.5 mol% or more, 9.0 mol% or more, 9.5 mol% or more, 10.0 mol% or more, 10.5 mol% or more, 11.0 mol% or more, 11.5 mol% or more, 12.0 mol% or more, 12.5 mol% or more, 13.0 mol% or more, 13.5 mol% or more, 14.0 mol% or more, or 14.5 mol% or more. In some embodiments, the glass composition comprises less than or equal to 14.5 mol% of Na₂O, for example, less than or equal to 14.0 mol%, less than or equal to 13.5 mol%, less than or equal to 13.0 mol%, less than or equal to 12.5 mol%, less than or equal to 12.0 mol%, less than or equal to 11.5 mol%, less than or equal to 11.0 mol%, less than or equal to 10.5 mol%, less than or equal to 10.0 mol%, less than or equal to 9.5 mol%, less than or equal to 9.0 mol%, less than or equal to 8.5 mol%, less than or equal to 8.0 mol%, less than or equal to 7.5 mol%, less than or equal to 7.0 mol%, less than or equal to 6.5 mol%, less than or equal to 6.0 mol%, less than or equal to 5.5 mol%, less than or equal to 5.0 mol%, or less than or equal to 4.5 mol%. It should be understood that in each embodiment, any of the above ranges may be combined with any other range.In embodiments, the glass composition comprises an amount of Na₂O greater than or equal to 4.5 mol% to less than or equal to 14.5 mol%, for example greater than or equal to 5.0 mol% to less than or equal to 14.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 5.5 mol% to less than or equal to 13.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 6.0 mol% to less than or equal to 13.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 6.5 mol% to less than or equal to 12.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 7.0 mol% to less than or equal to 12.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 7.5 mol% to less than or equal to 11.5 mol%, or greater than or equal to 8.0 mol% to less than or equal to 10.0 mol%, as well as all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values.
[0032] As described above, Al₂O₃ contributes to improving the ion exchangeability of the glass composition. Therefore, in embodiments, the amounts of Al₂O₃ and other ion-exchangeable components can be relatively high. For example, Li₂O and Na₂O are ion-exchangeable components. In some embodiments, the amount of Al₂O₃ + Li₂O + Na₂O in the glass composition can be greater than 25.0 mol%, for example, greater than or equal to 25.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 26.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 26.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 27.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 27.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 28.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 28.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 29.0 mol%, or greater than or equal to 29.5 mol%, and all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. In some embodiments, the amount of Al₂O₃ + Li₂O + Na₂O is less than or equal to 30.0 mol%, for example, less than or equal to 29.5 mol%, less than or equal to 29.0 mol%, less than or equal to 28.5 mol%, less than or equal to 28.0 mol%, less than or equal to 27.5 mol%, less than or equal to 27.0 mol%, less than or equal to 26.5 mol%, less than or equal to 26.0 mol%, or less than or equal to 25.5 mol%, as well as all ranges and sub-ranges between the foregoing values. It should be understood that in various embodiments, any of the foregoing ranges can be combined with any other range. In the embodiments, the amount of Al2O3+Li2O+Na2O is greater than or equal to 25.0 mol% to less than or equal to 30.0 mol%, for example, greater than or equal to 25.5 mol% to less than or equal to 29.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 26.0 mol% to less than or equal to 29.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 26.5 mol% to less than or equal to 28.5 mol%, or greater than or equal to 27.0 mol% to less than or equal to 28.0 mol%, as well as all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values.
[0033] Similar to Na₂O, K₂O also promotes ion exchange and increases the DOC of the compressive stress layer. However, the addition of K₂O can result in an excessively low CTE and an excessively high melting point. In embodiments, the glass composition is potassium-free or substantially potassium-free. As used herein, the term "substantially potassium-free" means that the component is not added as a component of the batch, although the component may be present in the final glass as an impurity in very small amounts (e.g., less than 0.01 mol%). In embodiments, K₂O may be present in the glass composition in amounts less than 1 mol%.
[0034] MgO reduces the viscosity of glass, which improves formability, strain point, and Young's modulus, and can also improve ion exchange capacity. However, when too much MgO is added to the glass composition, the density and CTE of the glass composition increase. In embodiments, the glass composition typically comprises MgO at a concentration of greater than or equal to 0.0 mol% to less than or equal to 2.0 mol%, and at concentrations in all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. In some embodiments, the glass composition comprises MgO in an amount greater than or equal to 0.2 mol%, such as greater than or equal to 0.4 mol%, greater than or equal to 0.6 mol%, greater than or equal to 0.8 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.2 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.4 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.6 mol%, or greater than or equal to 1.8 mol%. In some embodiments, the glass composition comprises less than or equal to 1.8 mol% of MgO, for example, less than or equal to 1.6 mol%, less than or equal to 1.4 mol%, less than or equal to 1.2 mol%, less than or equal to 1.0 mol%, less than or equal to 0.8 mol%, less than or equal to 0.6 mol%, less than or equal to 0.4 mol%, or less than or equal to 0.2 mol%. It should be understood that in various embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other range. In embodiments, the glass composition comprises more than or equal to 0.2 mol% to less than or equal to 1.8 mol% of MgO, for example, more than or equal to 0.4 mol% to less than or equal to 1.6 mol%, more than or equal to 0.6 mol% to less than or equal to 1.4 mol%, or more than or equal to 0.8 mol% to less than or equal to 1.2 mol%, and all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values.
[0035] CaO reduces the viscosity of glass, which improves formability, strain point, and Young's modulus, and can also improve ion exchange capacity. However, when too much CaO is added to the glass composition, the density and CTE of the glass composition increase. In embodiments, the glass composition typically comprises CaO at a concentration greater than or equal to 0.0 mol% to less than or equal to 3.0 mol%, and concentrations in all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values. In some embodiments, the glass composition comprises an amount of CaO greater than or equal to 0.2 mol%, such as greater than or equal to 0.4 mol%, greater than or equal to 0.6 mol%, greater than or equal to 0.8 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.2 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.4 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.6 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.8 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.2 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.4 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.6 mol%, or greater than or equal to 2.8 mol%. In some embodiments, the glass composition comprises less than or equal to 2.8 mol% of CaO, for example, less than or equal to 2.6 mol%, less than or equal to 2.4 mol%, less than or equal to 2.2 mol%, less than or equal to 2.0 mol%, less than or equal to 1.8 mol%, less than or equal to 1.6 mol%, less than or equal to 1.4 mol%, less than or equal to 1.2 mol%, less than or equal to 1.0 mol%, less than or equal to 0.8 mol%, less than or equal to 0.6 mol%, less than or equal to 0.4 mol%, or less than or equal to 0.2 mol%. It should be understood that in various embodiments, any of the above ranges may be combined with any other range. In embodiments, the glass composition comprises an amount of CaO greater than or equal to 0.2 mol% to less than or equal to 2.8 mol%, for example greater than or equal to 0.4 mol% to less than or equal to 2.6 mol%, greater than or equal to 0.6 mol% to less than or equal to 2.4 mol%, or greater than or equal to 0.8 mol% to less than or equal to 2.2 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.0 mol% to less than or equal to 2.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.2 mol% to less than or equal to 1.8 mol%, or greater than or equal to 1.4 mol% to less than or equal to 1.6 mol%, and all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values.
[0036] In embodiments, the glass composition may optionally include one or more clarifying agents. In some embodiments, the clarifying agent may include, for example, SnO2. In such embodiments, SnO2 may be present in the glass composition in an amount less than or equal to 0.2 mol%, for example, greater than or equal to 0.0 mol% to less than or equal to 0.1 mol%, and all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. In embodiments, SnO2 may be present in the glass composition in an amount greater than or equal to 0.0 mol% to less than or equal to 0.2 mol%, or greater than or equal to 0.1 mol% to less than or equal to 0.2 mol%, and all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. In some embodiments, the glass composition may be SnO2-free or substantially SnO2-free.
[0037] ZnO enhances the ion exchange properties of glass, for example, by increasing the compressive stress of the glass. However, adding too much ZnO may increase density and lead to phase separation. In embodiments, the glass composition may include an amount of ZnO greater than or equal to 0.0 mol% to less than or equal to 1.5 mol%, for example, greater than or equal to 0.2 mol% to less than or equal to 1.0 mol%, and all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. In some embodiments, the glass composition may include an amount of ZnO greater than or equal to 0.3 mol%, for example, greater than or equal to 0.4 mol%, or greater than or equal to 0.5 mol%. In embodiments, the glass composition may include an amount of ZnO less than or equal to 1.0 mol%, for example, less than or equal to 0.8 mol%, or less than or equal to 0.6 mol%. It should be understood that in various embodiments, any of the foregoing ranges may be combined with any other range.
[0038] SrO lowers the liquidus temperature of the glass articles disclosed herein. In embodiments, the glass composition may include an amount of SrO greater than or equal to 0.0 mol% to less than or equal to 1.5 mol%, for example, greater than or equal to 0.2 mol% to less than or equal to 1.0 mol%, and all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. In some embodiments, the glass composition may include an amount of SrO greater than or equal to 0.2 mol% or greater than or equal to 0.4 mol%. In embodiments, the glass composition may include an amount of SrO less than or equal to 0.8 mol%, for example, less than or equal to 0.6 mol%, or less than or equal to 0.4 mol%. It should be understood that in various embodiments, any of the foregoing ranges may be combined with any other range.
[0039] In addition to the components described above, the glass composition according to the embodiments disclosed herein may include an amount of divalent cationic oxide (referred to herein as RO) greater than or equal to 0.0 mol% to less than or equal to 5.0 mol%, and amounts of RO in all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. As used herein, divalent cationic oxide (RO) includes, but is not limited to, MgO, CaO, SrO, BaO, FeO, and ZnO. In some embodiments, the glass composition may include an amount of RO greater than or equal to 0.2 mol%, such as greater than or equal to 0.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 1.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 2.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 3.0 mol%, greater than or equal to 3.5 mol%, greater than or equal to 4.0 mol%, or greater than or equal to 4.5 mol%. In embodiments, the glass composition may include an amount of RO less than or equal to 4.5 mol%, such as less than or equal to 4.0 mol%, less than or equal to 3.5 mol%, less than or equal to 3.0 mol%, less than or equal to 2.5 mol%, less than or equal to 2.0 mol%, less than or equal to 1.5 mol%, less than or equal to 1.0 mol%, or less than or equal to 0.5 mol%. It should be understood that in each embodiment, any of the above ranges may be combined with any other range.

[0040] In embodiments, the mol% relationship of Al2O3 / (R2O+RO) is greater than 0.90, where RO is the sum of divalent cationic oxides and R2O is the sum of alkali metal oxides. As used herein, R2O includes Li2O, Na2O, K2O, Rb2O, Cs2O, and Fr2O. In embodiments, Al2O3 / (R2O+RO) is greater than 0.90 to less than 1.20. An increased Al2O3 to R2O+RO ratio improves the liquidus temperature and viscosity of the glass article. This ratio results in a denser glass that is less brittle and has higher damage resistance. In some embodiments, the molar ratio of Al2O3 / (R2O+RO) is greater than or equal to 0.95, for example, greater than or equal to 1.00, greater than or equal to 1.05, greater than or equal to 1.08, greater than or equal to 1.10, or greater than or equal to 1.15. In embodiments, the molar ratio of Al2O3 / (R2O+RO) is less than or equal to 1.20, for example, less than or equal to 1.50, less than or equal to 1.00, less than or equal to 0.98, less than or equal to 0.95, or less than or equal to 0.92. It should be understood that in various embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other range. In embodiments, the molar ratio of Al2O3 / (R2O+RO) is greater than or equal to 0.90 and less than or equal to 1.50, for example, greater than or equal to 0.95 and less than or equal to 1.20, greater than or equal to 0.98 and less than or equal to 1.15, or greater than or equal to 1.00 and less than or equal to 1.10, and all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values.
[0041] In embodiments, the total amount of the network-forming component (e.g., Al₂O₃ + SiO₂ + B₂O₃ + P₂O₅) is greater than or equal to 80 mol%, for example, greater than or equal to 82 mol%, greater than or equal to 84 mol%, greater than or equal to 86 mol%, greater than or equal to 88 mol%, or greater than or equal to 90 mol%. A high amount of network-forming component increases the density of the glass, making it less brittle and improving its damage resistance. In embodiments, the total amount of the network-forming component is less than or equal to 94 mol%, for example, less than or equal to 92 mol%, less than or equal to 90 mol%, less than or equal to 88 mol%, less than or equal to 86 mol%, less than or equal to 84 mol%, or less than or equal to 82 mol%. It should be understood that in various embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other range. In an implementation, the total amount of the network-forming components is greater than or equal to 80 mol% to less than or equal to 94 mol%, for example, greater than or equal to 82 mol% to less than or equal to 92 mol%, greater than or equal to 84 mol% to less than or equal to 90 mol%, or greater than or equal to 86 mol% to less than or equal to 88 mol%, as well as all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values.
[0042] In one or more embodiments, the alkali metal aluminosilicate glass article comprises, in mol% terms, a relationship of -8.00 ≤ R₂O + RO - Al₂O₃ – B₂O₃ – P₂O₅ ≤ -1.75. Without being bound by any particular theory, an excess of R₂O and RO in the glass composition can lead to a high concentration of non-bridging oxygen in the glass. The presence of excess non-bridging oxygen in the glass can result in reduced resistance to point contact damage. On the other hand, if the amount of non-bridging oxygen is too low, the melt quality of the glass is compromised. Therefore, in embodiments, it may be desirable to limit the amount of non-bridging oxygen in the glass composition rather than completely remove it. It is believed that Al₂O₃, B₂O₃, and P₂O₅ will react with the R₂O and RO components in the glass composition, thereby limiting the amount of non-bridging oxygen in the glass composition. Therefore, in embodiments, it may be desirable that the molar percentages of Al2O3, B2O3, and P2O5 in the glass composition are close to the molar percentages of R2O and RO in the glass composition, as reflected in the inequalities described above. In one or more embodiments, -7.50 ≤ R2O+RO-Al2O3–B2O3–P2O5 ≤ -2.50, for example -6.50 ≤ R2O+RO-Al2O3–B2O3–P2O5 ≤ -3.00, -5.50 ≤ R2O+RO-Al2O3–B2O3–P2O5 ≤ -3.50, or -4.50 ≤ R2O+RO-Al2O3–B2O3–P2O5 ≤ -3.50, and all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values.
[0043] In one or more embodiments, the alkali metal aluminosilicate glass article comprises, in mol% terms, a relationship of 9.00 ≤ (SiO2 + Al2O3 + Li2O) / Na2O. Not bound by any particular theory, Na... + The cation has a higher concentration than Si 4+ Al 3+ and Li +Cations have lower field strengths, while glasses containing higher field strength cations typically have higher packing density, thus enabling higher stored tensile stress (CT). To improve CT, oxides with high field strength cations should be added relative to oxides with low field strength cations, but a certain amount of oxides with low field strength cations is also needed to lower the liquidus temperature. In embodiments, 9.00 ≤ (SiO2 + Al2O3 + Li2O) / Na2O ≤ 16.00, for example 9.20 ≤ (SiO2 + Al2O3 + Li2O) / Na2O ≤ 15.50, 9.50 ≤ (SiO2 + Al2O3 + Li2O) / Na2O ≤ 15.00, 10.00 ≤ (SiO2 + Al2O3 + Li2O) / Na2O ≤ 14.50, or 10.50 ≤ (SiO2 + Al2O3 + Li2O) / Na2O ≤ 14.00, and all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values.
[0044] In some embodiments, the alkali metal aluminosilicate glass article comprises a ratio of (Li₂O + Al₂O₃ + P₂O₅) / (Na₂O + B₂O₃) ≤ 3.50 in mol%. Without being bound by any particular theory, it is believed that Na₂O modifier oxides are superior to Li₂O modifier oxides in improving free volume and corresponding resistance to indentation cracking. Similarly, B₂O₃ network-forming oxides are superior to Al₂O₃ and P₂O₅ network-forming oxides in improving free volume and corresponding resistance to indentation cracking. Therefore, in embodiments, it may be desirable to have an increased percentage of Na₂O and B₂O₃ relative to the amounts of Li₂O, Al₂O₃, and P₂O₅ in the glass composition. Therefore, in one or more embodiments, 1.50≤(Li2O+Al2O3+P2O5) / (Na2O+B2O3)≤3.50, for example 1.80≤(Li2O+Al2O3+P2O5) / (Na2O+B2O3)≤3.35, 2.00≤(Li2O+Al2O3+P2O5) / (Na2O+B2O3)≤3.20, 2.20≤(Li2O+Al2O3+P2O5) / (Na2O+B2O3)≤3.00, or 2.40≤(Li2O+Al2O3+P2O5) / (Na2O+B2O3)≤2.80, and all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values.
[0045] In one or more embodiments, the amounts of Al2O3 and Li2O in the glass composition may be included relative to other glass network forming agents and Na2O to increase the glass's damage resistance without affecting CTE and glass formability. Therefore, in some embodiments, the glass composition has a mol% relationship of 1.00 ≤ (Li2O+Al2O3) / (Na2O+B2O3+P2O5) ≤ 2.75, for example 1.25 ≤ (Li2O+Al2O3) / (Na2O+B2O3+P2O5) ≤ 2.50, 1.50 ≤ (Li2O+Al2O3) / (Na2O+B2O3+P2O5) ≤ 2.25, or 1.75 ≤ (Li2O+Al2O3) / (Na2O+B2O3+P2O5) ≤ 2.00, and all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values.
[0046] In some embodiments, the amounts of Al2O3, B2O3, and P2O5 glass network forming components can be balanced with other components of the glass composition (e.g., R2O and RO). In some embodiments, the glass composition may have a mol% relationship of 1.0 < (Al2O3 + B2O3 + P2O5) / (R2O + RO), for example 1.0 < (Al2O3 + B2O3 + P2O5) / (R2O + RO) < 1.8, 1.1 < (Al2O3 + B2O3 + P2O5) / (R2O + RO) < 1.7, 1.2 < (Al2O3 + B2O3 + P2O5) / (R2O + RO) < 1.6, or 1.3 < (Al2O3 + B2O3 + P2O5) / (R2O + RO) < 1.5, and all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values.
[0047] In this embodiment, the glass article may be substantially free of one or both of arsenic and antimony.
[0048] In one embodiment, the glass composition may satisfy the following relationship in mol%: 6.96Al2O3–1.90B2O3+2.16CaO+3.30MgO–1.50Na2O+12.74Li2O–1.10SrO–14.50K2O–1.87La2O3+6.13ZrO2–76.40>50.00.
[0049] The physical properties of the alkali metal aluminosilicate glass compositions disclosed above will now be discussed. These physical properties can be achieved by varying the component content of the alkali metal aluminosilicate glass compositions, as will be discussed in more detail with reference to the examples.
[0050] The glass composition according to the embodiments may have a content greater than or equal to 2.20 g / cm³.3 Up to 2.50 g / cm³ 3 The density, for example, greater than or equal to 2.25 g / cm³. 3 Up to 2.50 g / cm³ 3 ≥2.30 g / cm 3 Up to 2.50 g / cm³ 3 ≥2.35 g / cm 3 Up to 2.50 g / cm³ 3 ≥2.40 g / cm³ 3 Up to 2.50 g / cm³ 3 or greater than or equal to 2.45 g / cm³ 3 Up to 2.50 g / cm³ 3 In an embodiment, the glass composition may have a concentration greater than or equal to 2.20 g / cm³. 3 Up to 2.45 g / cm³ 3 The density, for example, greater than or equal to 2.20 g / cm³. 3 Up to 2.40 g / cm³ 3 ≥2.20 g / cm³ 3 Up to 2.35 g / cm³ 3 ≥2.20 g / cm³ 3 Up to 2.30 g / cm³ 3 or greater than or equal to 2.20 g / cm³ 3 Up to 2.25 g / cm³ 3 , and all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values. Typically, in alkali metal aluminosilicate glass compositions, with elements such as Na... + or K + Larger, denser alkali metal cations, such as Li, are... + The substitution of smaller alkali metal cations, such as lithium, reduces the density of the glass composition. Therefore, the higher the amount of lithium in the glass composition, the less dense the glass composition will be. The density values described in this disclosure refer to values measured by the buoyancy method according to ASTM C693-93 (2013).
[0051] In embodiments, the liquid phase viscosity is less than or equal to 1000 kP, for example, less than or equal to 800 kP, less than or equal to 600 kP, less than or equal to 400 kP, less than or equal to 200 kP, less than or equal to 100 kP, or less than or equal to 75 kP.

It should be understood that in each embodiment, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other range. In this embodiment, the liquid phase viscosity is greater than or equal to 20 kP and less than or equal to 1000 kP, for example, greater than or equal to 40 kP and less than or equal to 900 kP, greater than or equal to 60 kP and less than or equal to 800 kP, or greater than or equal to 80 kP and less than or equal to 700 kP, as well as all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. The liquid phase viscosity is measured according to ASTM C829-81 (2010).
[0052] Adding lithium to a glass composition also affects its Young's modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson's ratio. In embodiments, the Young's modulus of the glass composition can be greater than or equal to 65 GPa and less than or equal to 85 GPa, for example, greater than or equal to 67 GPa and less than or equal to 82 GPa, greater than or equal to 70 GPa and less than or equal to 80 GPa, greater than or equal to 72 GPa and less than or equal to 78 GPa, or greater than or equal to 74 GPa and less than or equal to 76 GPa, as well as all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. In other embodiments, the Young's modulus of the glass composition can be greater than or equal to 66 GPa and less than or equal to 85 GPa, for example, greater than or equal to 68 GPa and less than or equal to 85 GPa, greater than or equal to 70 GPa and less than or equal to 85 GPa, greater than or equal to 72 GPa and less than or equal to 85 GPa, greater than or equal to 74 GPa and less than or equal to 85 GPa, greater than or equal to 76 GPa and less than or equal to 85 GPa, greater than or equal to 78 GPa and less than or equal to 85 GPa, greater than or equal to 80 GPa and less than or equal to 85 GPa, or greater than or equal to 82 GPa and less than or equal to 85 GPa, as well as all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. In embodiments, the Young's modulus can be greater than or equal to 65 GPa and less than or equal to 84 GPa, for example, greater than or equal to 65 GPa and less than or equal to 82 GPa, greater than or equal to 65 GPa and less than or equal to 80 GPa, greater than or equal to 65 GPa and less than or equal to 78 GPa, greater than or equal to 65 GPa and less than or equal to 76 GPa, greater than or equal to 65 GPa and less than or equal to 74 GPa, greater than or equal to 65 GPa and less than or equal to 72 GPa, greater than or equal to 65 GPa and less than or equal to 70 GPa, greater than or equal to 65 GPa and less than or equal to 68 GPa, or greater than or equal to 65 GPa and less than or equal to 10 GPa, as well as all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. The Young's modulus values described in this disclosure refer to values measured using the general type of resonant ultrasonic spectroscopy technique described in ASTM E2001-13, entitled "Standard Guide to Resonant Ultrasonic Spectroscopy for Defect Detection in Metallic and Nonmetallic Parts".

[0054] Based on the above description, the glass composition according to the embodiments can be formed by any suitable method, such as slot forming, float forming, rolling process, melt forming process, etc.
[0055] A glass article may be characterized by its method of formation. For example, a glass article may be characterized by being float-formable (i.e., formed by the float process), draw-formable, and especially melt-formable or slot-drawable (i.e., formed by a draw process such as melt drawing or slot drawing).
[0056] The glass articles described in some embodiments herein can be formed using a draw process. The draw process produces glass articles with a uniform thickness and a relatively clean surface. Because the average flexural strength of a glass article is controlled by the number and size of surface imperfections, a clean surface with minimal contact has higher initial strength. Furthermore, draw glass articles have a very flat and smooth surface, eliminating the need for expensive grinding and polishing before use in their final applications.
[0057] Some embodiments of the glass article can be described as melt-formable (i.e., formable using a melt-drawing process). The melt-drawing process uses a drawing trough having channels for receiving molten glass material. These channels have weirs that open at the top along the length of the channel on both sides. When the channel is filled with molten material, the molten glass overflows the weirs. Due to gravity, the molten glass flows down the outer surfaces of the drawing trough as two flowing glass films. These outer surfaces of the drawing trough extend downwards and inwards such that they join at the lower edge of the drawing trough. The two flowing glass films join at this edge to fuse and form a single flowing glass article. An advantage of the melt-drawing method is that, because the two glass films flowing through the channel fuse together, the outer surface of the resulting glass article does not contact any part of the equipment. Therefore, the surface properties of the melt-drawn glass article are not affected by this contact.
[0058] Glass articles described in some embodiments herein can be formed using a slit drawing process. The slit drawing process differs from molten drawing. In the slit drawing process, molten raw glass is fed into a drawing trough. The bottom of the drawing trough has a slot with a nozzle that extends the length of the trough. The molten glass flows through the slit / nozzle and is drawn downwards into a continuous glass article and into an annealing zone.
[0059] In one or more embodiments, the glass articles described herein may exhibit an amorphous microstructure and may be substantially free of crystals or microcrystals. In other words, in some embodiments, the glass articles do not include glass-ceramic materials.
[0060] As described above, in the embodiments, the alkali metal aluminosilicate glass composition can be strengthened, for example, through ion exchange, so that the glass has damage resistance for applications such as, but not limited to, glass for display screen covers. Reference Figure 1 The glass has a first region under compressive stress (e.g., Figure 1 The first compression layer 120 and the second compression layer 122 extend from the surface to the compression depth (DOC) of the glass; and the second region (e.g., Figure 1The central region (130) extends from the DOC to the center or interior region of the glass under tensile stress or central tension (CT). As used herein, DOC refers to the depth at which the stress in a glass article changes from compression to tension. At the DOC, the stress transitions from positive (compressive) stress to negative (tensile) stress, thus exhibiting a stress value of 0.
[0061] According to conventions commonly used in the art, compressive or tensile stress is expressed as negative (<0) stress, and tensile or tensile stress is expressed as positive (>0) stress. However, throughout this specification, CS is expressed as a positive or absolute value, i.e., as stated herein, CS = |CS|. Compressive stress (CS) has a maximum value at or near the glass surface, and CS varies as a function of distance d from the surface. See again Figure 1 The first segment 120 extends from the first surface 110 to a depth d1, and the second segment 122 extends from the second surface 112 to a depth d2. These segments together define the compressive stress, or CS, of the glass 100. The compressive stress (including the surface CS) is measured using a surface stress meter (FSM) with a commercially available instrument, such as the FSM-6000 manufactured by Orihara Industries, Ltd. (Japan). The surface stress measurement depends on the accurate measurement of the stress optical coefficient (SOC), which is related to the birefringence of the glass. The SOC is measured sequentially according to Procedure C (glass disk method) as described in ASTM Standard C770-16, entitled "Standard Test Method for Measurement of Stress-Optical Coefficient of Glass," the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0062] In some implementations, CS is greater than or equal to 400 MPa and less than or equal to 800 MPa, for example, greater than or equal to 425 MPa and less than or equal to 775 MPa, greater than or equal to 450 MPa and less than or equal to 750 MPa, greater than or equal to 475 MPa and less than or equal to 725 MPa, greater than or equal to 500 MPa and less than or equal to 700 MPa, greater than or equal to 525 MPa and less than or equal to 675 MPa, greater than or equal to 550 MPa and less than or equal to 650 MPa, or greater than or equal to 575 MPa and less than or equal to 625 MPa, as well as all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values.
[0063] In one or more embodiments, Na + and K + Ions are exchanged into the glass, and Na + Ion ratio K + Ions diffuse deeper into the glass. K +The depth of ion penetration (“potassium DOL”) differs from DOC because it represents the depth of potassium penetration during ion exchange. For the articles described herein, potassium DOL is typically less than DOC. Potassium DOL is measured using a surface stress meter, such as the commercially available FSM-6000 surface stress meter manufactured by Orihara Industries, Ltd. (Japan), depending on the accurate measurement of the stress optical coefficient (SOC), as described above in the reference CS measurement. The potassium DOL for each of the first compression layer 120 and the second compression layer 122 is greater than or equal to 5 μm and less than or equal to 30 μm, for example, greater than or equal to 6 μm and less than or equal to 25 μm, greater than or equal to 7 μm and less than or equal to 20 μm, greater than or equal to 8 μm and less than or equal to 15 μm, or greater than or equal to 9 μm and less than or equal to 10 μm, as well as all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values. In one embodiment, the potassium DOL of each of the first compression layer 120 and the second compression layer 122 is greater than or equal to 6 μm and less than or equal to 30 μm, for example, greater than or equal to 10 μm and less than or equal to 30 μm, greater than or equal to 15 μm and less than or equal to 30 μm, greater than or equal to 20 μm and less than or equal to 30 μm, or greater than or equal to 25 μm and less than or equal to 30 μm, and all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values. In another embodiment, the potassium DOL of each of the first compression layer 120 and the second compression layer 122 is greater than or equal to 5 μm and less than or equal to 25 μm, for example, greater than or equal to 5 μm and less than or equal to 20 μm, greater than or equal to 5 μm and less than or equal to 15 μm, or greater than or equal to 5 μm and less than or equal to 10 μm, and all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values.
[0064] Two main surfaces ( Figure 1The compressive stresses at 110 and 112 in the glass are balanced by the tension stored in the central region (130) of the glass. The maximum central tension (CT) and DOC value are measured using a scattered light polarizer (SCALP) technique known in the art. The refractive near-field (RNF) method or SCALP can be used to measure the stress distribution. When measuring the stress distribution using the RNF method, the maximum CT value provided by SCALP is used for the RNF method. Specifically, the stress distribution measured by the RNF is force-balanced and calibrated to the maximum CT value provided by the SCALP measurement. The RNF method is described in U.S. Patent No. 8,854,623, entitled “System and Method for Measuring Distribution Characteristics of Glass Samples,” the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Specifically, the RNF method involves placing the glass article near a reference block, generating a polarization-switched beam that switches between orthogonal polarizations at a rate between 1 Hz and 50 Hz, measuring the power quantity in the polarization-switched beam, and generating a polarization-switched reference signal, wherein the power quantity measured in each orthogonal polarization is within 50% of each other. The method further includes transmitting a polarization-switched beam through a glass sample and a reference block at different depths into the glass sample, then using a relay optics system to relay the transmitted polarization-switched beam to a signal photodetector, and using the signal photodetector to generate a polarization-switched detector signal. The method also includes dividing the detector signal by the reference signal to form a normalized detector signal, and determining the distribution characteristics of the glass sample from the normalized detector signal.
[0065] In some embodiments, the glass composition may have a maximum CT greater than or equal to 60 MPa, such as greater than or equal to 70 MPa, greater than or equal to 80 MPa, greater than or equal to 90 MPa, greater than or equal to 100 MPa, greater than or equal to 110 MPa, greater than or equal to 120 MPa, greater than or equal to 130 MPa, greater than or equal to 140 MPa, or greater than or equal to 150 MPa, and all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values. In some embodiments, the glass composition may have a maximum CT less than or equal to 200 MPa, such as less than or equal to 190 MPa, less than or equal to 180 MPa, less than or equal to 170 MPa, less than or equal to 160 MPa, less than or equal to 150 MPa, less than or equal to 140 MPa, less than or equal to 130 MPa, less than or equal to 120 MPa, less than or equal to 110 MPa, less than or equal to 100 MPa, less than or equal to 90 MPa, or less than or equal to 80 MPa, and all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values. It should be understood that, in each embodiment, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other range. In embodiments, the glass composition may have a maximum CT greater than or equal to 60 MPa and less than or equal to 200 MPa, for example greater than or equal to 70 MPa and less than or equal to 190 MPa, greater than or equal to 80 MPa and less than or equal to 180 MPa, greater than or equal to 90 MPa and less than or equal to 170 MPa, greater than or equal to 100 MPa and less than or equal to 160 MPa, greater than or equal to 110 MPa and less than or equal to 150 MPa, or greater than or equal to 120 MPa and less than or equal to 140 MPa, as well as all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values.
[0066] As described above, the Depth of Compression (DOC) is measured using a Scattered Light Polarizing Mirror (SCALP) technique known in the art. In some embodiments herein, the DOC is provided as a portion of the thickness (t) of the glass article. In embodiments, the glass composition may have a Depth of Compression (DOC) greater than or equal to 0.15t and less than or equal to 0.25t, for example, greater than or equal to 0.18t and less than or equal to 0.22t, or greater than or equal to 0.19t and less than or equal to 0.21t, and all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. In embodiments, the glass composition may have a DOC greater than or equal to 0.16t and less than or equal to 0.2t, for example greater than or equal to 0.17t and less than or equal to 0.25t, greater than or equal to 0.18t and less than or equal to 0.25t, greater than or equal to 0.19t and less than or equal to 0.25t, greater than or equal to 0.20t and less than or equal to 0.25t, greater than or equal to 0.21t and less than or equal to 0.25t, greater than or equal to 0.22t and less than or equal to 0.25t, greater than or equal to 0.23t and less than or equal to 0.25t, or greater than or equal to 0.24t and less than or equal to 0.25t, as well as all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values.

[0067] By exposing glass to an ion-exchange solution, a compressive stress layer can be formed in the glass. In some embodiments, the ion-exchange solution may be molten nitrate. In some embodiments, the ion-exchange solution may be molten KNO3, molten NaNO3, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the ion-exchange solution may include about 90% molten KNO3, about 80% molten KNO3, about 70% molten KNO3, about 60% molten KNO3, or about 50% molten KNO3. In some embodiments, the ion-exchange solution may include about 10% molten NaNO3, about 20% molten NaNO3, about 30% molten NaNO3, or about 40% molten NaNO3. In embodiments, the ion exchange solution may comprise about 80% molten KNO3 and about 20% molten NaNO3, about 75% molten KNO3 and about 25% molten NaNO3, about 70% molten KNO3 and about 30% molten NaNO3, about 65% molten KNO3 and about 35% molten NaNO3, or about 60% molten KNO3 and about 40%, and all ranges and subranges between the foregoing values. In embodiments, other sodium and potassium salts may be used in the ion exchange solution, such as, for example, sodium nitrite or potassium nitrite, phosphates, or sulfates. In some embodiments, the ion exchange solution may include lithium salts, such as LiNO3.
[0068] Glass compositions can be exposed to ion exchange solutions by immersing glass articles made of the glass composition in an ion exchange solution bath, spraying the ion exchange solution onto the glass articles made of the glass composition, or otherwise physically applying the ion exchange solution to the glass articles made of the glass composition. When exposed to the glass composition, according to embodiments, the ion exchange solution can be at a temperature greater than or equal to 400°C and less than or equal to 500°C, for example, greater than or equal to 410°C and less than or equal to 490°C, greater than or equal to 420°C and less than or equal to 480°C, greater than or equal to 430°C and less than or equal to 470°C, or greater than or equal to 440°C and less than or equal to 460°C, and all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values. In embodiments, the glass composition may be exposed to an ion-exchange solution for a duration of greater than or equal to 4 hours and less than or equal to 48 hours, for example, greater than or equal to 8 hours and less than or equal to 44 hours, greater than or equal to 12 hours and less than or equal to 40 hours, greater than or equal to 16 hours and less than or equal to 36 hours, greater than or equal to 20 hours and less than or equal to 32 hours, or greater than or equal to 24 hours and less than or equal to 28 hours, as well as all ranges and subranges between the aforementioned values.
[0069] Ion exchange processes can be carried out in ion exchange solutions under treatment conditions that provide improved compressive stress distribution, for example, as disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2016 / 0102011, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0070] After the ion exchange process, it should be understood that the composition at the surface of the glass article can differ from that of the virgin (as-formed) glass article (i.e., the glass article before undergoing the ion exchange process). This is because, in the virgin glass, there are components such as, for example, Li... + Or Na + An alkali metal ion is respectively reacted with, for example, Na + or K + The glass composition is replaced by larger alkali metal ions. However, in embodiments, the glass composition at or near the center of the depth of the glass article will still have the composition of the original (non-ion-exchanged) glass used to form the glass article.
