Chemically strengthened glass-ceramics, cover glass, electronic device and glass article

[0001] Cross Reference to Related Applications

[0002] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application entitled “Chemically strengthened glass-ceramics, cover glass, electronic device and glass article” filed on April 11, 2024 with the China National Intellectual Property Office, having the application number 202410436179.9, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of glass-ceramics, and in particular to a chemically strengthened glass-ceramics, cover glass, electronic device and glass article. BACKGROUND

[0004] With the popularity of electronic products, electronic devices such as mobile phones, watches, and tablets have become an essential part of daily life, and the damage resistance of the cover glass of the electronic device screen has become one of the hot issues of market concern. In order to improve the damage resistance of the cover glass, the cover industry has successively launched chemically strengthened glass-ceramics which generally have better performance than ordinary glass.

[0005] However, in different electronic devices, there are different requirements for the thickness of the cover glass, and the change in thickness will cause the mechanical properties of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics to change as well. Some chemically strengthened glass-ceramics even have a cliff-like drop in performance after the thickness is thinned, making it difficult to meet the market demand for large screens and thin and light electronic devices.

[0006] Currently, common situations of surface cracking or surface damage of electronic device cover glass include collision of objects with sharp protrusions on the surface of the cover glass, penetration or puncture of the cover glass, and dropping of the electronic device on rough ground, causing the cover glass to crack or break due to impact. For example, when an electronic device (such as a mobile phone, tablet, etc.) accidentally falls on a road surface with gravel or sharp protrusions or an asphalt road surface, the cover glass used for the screen of the electronic device is very likely to collide with sharp protrusions and / or be penetrated or punctured by sharp protrusions, which not only directly affects the appearance of the screen of the electronic device, but also affects its normal use.

[0007] Therefore, in order to reduce the probability of surface damage and breakage of the cover glass of the screen of the electronic device caused by impact of sharp objects, and thus ensure the safe and stable operation of the electronic device, it is necessary to provide a chemically strengthened glass-ceramics that can always maintain excellent resistance to penetration by sharp objects and excellent resistance to damage caused by falling on rough surfaces at different thicknesses.

[0008] It should be noted that the contents of this part of the present application only provide background of the present application, and do not necessarily constitute prior art or known art. SUMMARY

[0104] Terminology and test methods:

[0105] In the present application, glass-ceramics is a kind of solid composite material containing both glass phase and crystal phase (or also known as microcrystalline phase, crystalline phase) prepared by targeted and controlled heat treatment of base glass. Glass-ceramics is also known as glass ceramic or crystallized glass or crystallized glass or crystalline glass.

[0106] In the present application, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics refers to a solid composite material obtained by chemical strengthening treatment of the glass-ceramics. It should be understood that, during the chemical strengthening treatment, the alkali metal ions with large ionic radius (e.g., potassium ions or sodium ions) in the molten salt bath (or also referred to as the molten salt bath) will replace the alkali metal ions with small ionic radius (e.g., sodium ions or lithium ions) in the glass-ceramics, thereby generating an exchange ion volume difference and generating a compressive stress (or also referred to as a compression stress) on the surface of the glass-ceramics.

[0107] In the present application, the base glass refers to a glass that has not been subjected to nucleation treatment, crystallization treatment and strengthening treatment, or also referred to as a basic glass.

[0108] In the present application, the composition at the center of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics refers to the composition at or near the center of the depth or thickness of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics, that is, the composition of the region in the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics that has not been subjected to ion exchange.

[0109] In the present application, the visible light wavelength range refers to 360 nm to 740 nm.

[0110] In the present application, the main crystal phase (or also referred to as the primary crystal phase) refers to a crystal phase with a higher mass content than other crystal phases present in the glass-ceramics or the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics.

[0111] In the present application, the main surface refers to the surface with the largest surface area, such as the upper surface or the lower surface of the horizontally placed glass-ceramics sheet.

[0112] In the present application, the crystallinity refers to the percentage of the total mass of the crystal phase in the glass-ceramics or the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics to the mass of the glass-ceramics or the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics, or also referred to as the total content of the crystal phase in the glass-ceramics or the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics.

[0113] In the present application, when light of a certain wavelength is irradiated onto the main surface of the glass-ceramics or the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics, the light will be reflected, absorbed and transmitted, and the ratio of the intensity of the transmitted portion to the intensity of the incident light is the transmittance.

[0114] In the present application, the crystallized glass raw material refers to a glass raw material that has been heat treated for a period of time to achieve a certain crystallinity, but has not yet reached the target crystallinity, and can continue to crystallize to reach the target crystallinity under heating.

[0115] In the present application, CT_LD refers to the tensile stress linear density, with the unit of MPa / mm. It should be understood that after the glass-ceramic is placed in a molten salt bath for ion exchange, a compressive stress layer (or also referred to as a compressive stress layer) is formed on the surface of the glass-ceramic, and a tensile stress layer (or also referred to as a tensile stress layer) is formed inside the glass-ceramic. Exemplarily, during chemical strengthening treatment, alkali metal ions with a large radius in the molten salt bath are ion exchanged with alkali metal ions with a small radius in the glass-ceramic, thereby forming a compressive stress layer on the surface of the glass-ceramic and a tensile stress layer inside the glass-ceramic, that is, a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic containing a compressive stress layer and a tensile stress layer is prepared. In the present application, CT_LD is calculated by the following formula:

[0116] wherein t is the thickness of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic, with the unit of mm; DOL_0 is the depth of the compressive stress layer of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic, with the unit of μm; |CT_AV| is the absolute value of the average tensile stress of the tensile stress layer of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic, with the unit of MPa. It should be understood that in the calculation formula of the tensile stress linear density, the data is substituted into the calculation according to the above unit requirements, and the calculation result is obtained, and the unit does not participate in the calculation.

[0117] In the present application, CS_80 refers to the compressive stress value at a depth of 80 μm from the main surface of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic, or the compressive stress value at a distance of 80 μm from the main surface of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic, with the unit of MPa, which is obtained by SLP-2000 stress meter testing.

[0118] In the present application, |CT_AV| refers to the absolute value of the average tensile stress, with the unit of MPa, specifically the absolute value of the average of all tensile stresses in the tensile stress layer, which is obtained by SLP-2000 stress meter testing.

[0119] In the present application, DOL_0 refers to the depth of the compressive stress layer, or the depth of the compressive stress layer, specifically the distance from any main surface of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic to the position close to the surface where the compressive stress is zero, which is obtained by SLP-2000 stress meter testing.

[0120] In the present application, the test method of the stress performance is as follows: the SLP-2000 stress meter is used for testing, the light source wavelength is 518 nm, SOC = 25.5 (nm / cm) / MPa, the refractive index = 1.54, and the exposure time is 300 μsec. When the stress performance of the chemically strengthened glass ceramic is tested, a conductive liquid is first dropped on the stress meter, and then the chemically strengthened glass ceramic sample to be tested is cleaned and placed on the test path to test the stress value. The stress meter is SLP-2000, and the conductive liquid used is a conductive liquid with a refractive index of 1.51. Then, the tensile stress linear density (CT_LD) value of the chemically strengthened glass ceramic is calculated by the aforementioned calculation formula of the tensile stress linear density, and the value of is calculated by the stress data of the chemically strengthened glass ceramic measured by the SLP-2000.

[0121] In the present application, the b value is used to represent the yellow-blue value of the material. The b value in the present application is the transmitted light b value, and a positive b value indicates that the material is blue.

[0122] In the present application, the nucleation treatment refers to growing small crystal nuclei from the nucleation substances in the base glass through heat treatment, and the crystallization treatment refers to growing certain crystals on the basis of the crystal nuclei through heat treatment.

[0123] In the present application, the thickness is tested by a micrometer. It should be understood that the ion exchange degree changes in a gradient from the surface to the center in the thickness direction of the glass ceramic sample, and the total Na-K and / or Li-Na exchange amount increment (mass) is generally not more than 1.5% of the total mass of the sample, so the expansion effect in the thickness direction is extremely slight, and the thickness can be approximately considered to be basically unchanged. That is, the thickness of the glass ceramic changes very little before and after chemical strengthening, and can be basically ignored, and the thickness of the glass ceramic is basically the same as that of the chemically strengthened glass ceramic prepared therefrom.

[0124] In the present application, the size specification of the glass ceramic sheet is tested by a two-dimensional measuring machine (instrument model Miyu MY-YXCL-4030).

[0125] In the present application, the Young's modulus is used to represent the ability of the glass to resist elastic deformation caused by external force. In the present application, the UMS-100 ultrasonic material characterization system is used to test the Young's modulus of the glass ceramic by acoustic waves.

[0126] Thermal expansion softening point test: the sample is prepared into a cylinder with a diameter of 5.5 mm and a length of 20 mm, and a thermal dilatometer LINSEIS L75VD1000 is used to test the sample to output a thermal expansion test curve. The temperature corresponding to the peak position of the curve is the thermal expansion softening point temperature of the sample.

[0127] In the present application, the crystalline phase, crystallinity and average grain size of the glass-ceramics or chemically strengthened glass-ceramics are confirmed by XRD test. Specifically:

[0128] (1) XRD test: The glass-ceramics or chemically strengthened glass-ceramics of the present application are crushed and ground into samples with a particle size of less than 75 μm, and the ground samples are tested by X-ray diffractometer to obtain XRD diffraction peak curve and XRD diffraction data. The X-ray diffractometer used in the present application is Shimadzu XRD-6100, the target material is copper, 2θ = 10°-50°, the scanning speed is 0.2° / min, the working voltage is 40 kV, and the working current is 30 mA.

[0129] (2) Determination of crystalline phase: The XRD diffraction data are analyzed by Jade software (JADE Standard 8.6) to determine the crystalline phase in the sample.

[0130] (3) Determination of crystallinity: The test results of XRD (RAW format) are imported into X-ray diffraction data Rietveld refinement software Jade for fitting and calculation, so as to determine the crystallinity of the sample. Specifically, the ratio of the peak area of the fitting crystalline phase to the total peak area of the fitting is recorded as the crystallinity of the sample.

[0131] (4) Determination of average grain size: According to the Scherrer formula D = Kλ / (βcosθ), the average grain size (or also called average crystal size) of the sample can be calculated from the result data obtained by XRD test. Wherein, λ is the X-ray wavelength, λ = 0.154056 nm, β is the half-height width of the diffraction peak, K = 0.89, and θ is the Bragg diffraction angle. Specifically, the RAW format file output by the XRD instrument is curve-fitted in Jade software, and the fitting report is output by Jade. According to the angle 2θ value and the Peak FWHM value corresponding to each diffraction peak in the fitting report, the Peak FWHM value is converted to radian system: β = (FWHM / 180×3.14), and the grain size of each diffraction peak is calculated by Scherrer formula D = Kλ / (βcosθ) and then averaged to obtain the average grain size in the sample.

[0132] In the present application, the transmittance and b value of the glass-ceramics are tested by a haze meter according to the national standard GB / T 7962.12-2010 Optical Glass - Test Methods - Part 12: Spectral Transmittance. Specifically, the transmittance and b value of light with different wavelengths of 5 glass-ceramics from the same batch are tested by the haze meter. The average of the b values of the 5 glass-ceramics is taken as the b value of the glass-ceramics. The average of the transmittance of the 5 glass-ceramics under the light with a wavelength of 550 nm is taken as the transmittance of the glass-ceramics under the light with a wavelength of 550 nm. The haze meter used in the present application is a Konica Minolta Spectrophotometer CM-3600A, the light receiving optical system is transmission, the spectral method is plane diffraction grating, the wavelength range is 360 nm-740 nm, the wavelength interval is 10 nm, the illumination light source is pulse xenon lamp x 4, and the instrument is placed in an environment with a temperature of 24°C and an air humidity of 40%.

[0133] In the present application, the transmittance curve of the glass-ceramics under the light with a wavelength ranging from 200 nm to 1000 nm is also tested by a Shimadzu UV-2600 UV-visible spectrophotometer.

[0134] The refractive index refers to the ratio of the propagation speed of light in vacuum to the propagation speed of light in the medium.

[0135] Puncture resistance test: In the present application, the tip of a Mohs hardness pen is punctured into the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics along the thickness direction to simulate the puncture of a sharp protruding object into the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics. The puncture resistance of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics to the sharp object is obtained by the puncture test of a single sharp object, which can simulate the application scenario of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics falling onto the ground with a sharp protruding object. When the tip of the Mohs hardness pen is punctured to a depth of 80 μm, the load F 80μm In the present application, the pen with a Mohs hardness of 6 from Mineralab, USA, is used as the test pen. The reason for selecting the pen with a Mohs hardness of 6 for testing is mainly that the environment that the cover glass of the electronic device may contact in daily life, such as cement ground and fine sand ground, has a hardness roughly equivalent to that of the pen with a Mohs hardness of 6. The load F 80μm required to puncture the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics to a depth of 80 μm is used to characterize the puncture resistance of the sample. When F 80μm is greater, it means that the load or force required to puncture the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics to a depth of 80 μm by the tip of the pen with a Mohs hardness of 6 is greater, indicating that the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics is more difficult to puncture and has better puncture resistance.

[0136] The specific operation steps of the anti-penetration test include: first, placing a stainless steel plate on the bottom ring of a tensile testing machine (LT-850A), then placing the chemical strengthened glass-ceramic sample to be tested on the stainless steel plate, and providing a MineraLab pencil with a Mohs hardness of 6 (M6) (the sharp angle at the tip of the pencil is 35°, as shown in FIG. 6), starting the test software, setting the moving speed to 1 mm / min, clicking start test, and the M6 pencil will apply force to the center of the chemical strengthened glass-ceramic sample to be tested at the set moving speed until the chemical strengthened glass-ceramic sample cracks and breaks, as shown in FIG. 5. The original data of the penetration depth and the load applied to the tip of the M6 pencil are output by the test software, and the load F 80μm applied to the tip of the M6 pencil when the penetration depth is 80 μm is taken as a characterization value of the anti-penetration performance of the chemical strengthened glass-ceramic sample. Ten pieces of chemical strengthened glass-ceramic samples of the same batch are tested, and the average value of the test results is taken as the F 80μm .

[0137] The local penetration-induced fragmentation refers to that when the glass surface collides with a sharp object (such as a small stone or cement) with a higher hardness, the glass surface is locally damaged, a crack propagation source is formed at the damage point, and when the compressive stress level of the glass surface is not enough to offset the energy brought by the collision, the crack propagation will pass through the glass surface area. When the crack in the thickness direction reaches the compressive stress layer region, the crack will rapidly expand in the tensile stress region, so that the crack penetrates through the entire glass, thereby causing the glass to break.

[0138] Density test: In the present application, the electronic density balance SD-200L of Japan ALFAMIRAGE is used to test the density of the glass-ceramic.

[0139] Refractive index test: In the present application, the Abbe refractometer WYA-2WAJ of China Shanghai Libenchbangxi Instrument Technology is used to test the refractive index of the glass-ceramic.

[0140] Average anti-sandpaper drop height test: In the present application, the anti-sandpaper drop height of each sample of the chemical strengthened glass-ceramic samples of the same embodiment or the same comparative example is added, and the value obtained by dividing the number of samples is recorded as the average anti-sandpaper drop height of the chemical strengthened glass-ceramic, which is used to characterize the anti-drop damage performance of the chemical strengthened glass-ceramic. Here, the anti-drop damage capability is obtained by using uniform sandpaper, which can simulate the application scenario of the chemical strengthened glass-ceramic falling onto a ground with a relatively uniform roughness.

[0141] Specifically, at least 10 samples of each batch are tested, and the average anti-sandpaper drop height

[0142] Wherein, n is the number of glass samples tested per batch, hi is the sandpaper drop height of a single sample test;

[0143] Wherein, the test method of the sandpaper drop height of a single sample is as follows:

[0144] Step 1: Paste 80-mesh sandpaper on the lower surface of a model machine under 181 g, and place the model machine on a green chart LT-SKDL-CD type drop machine;

[0145] Step 2: Place the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass sample to be tested directly below the model machine, with the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass sample facing the sandpaper. Make the model machine impact and fall at a certain drop height, impacting the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass sample directly below the model machine. If the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass sample does not break, increase the drop height of the model machine in a certain manner, and continue to impact and fall the model machine, impacting the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass sample directly below the model machine, until the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass sample breaks. For example, the drop height of the model machine is 0.4 m, and the sample is impacted once. If the sample does not break, the drop height of the model machine is increased by 0.1 m, and the sample is impacted again. Repeat the above process until the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass sample breaks.

[0146] Step 3: The last drop height before the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass sample breaks is recorded as its sandpaper drop height. For example, if the drop height is increased by 0.1 m each time, and the sample breaks when the drop height is 0.5 m, then the sandpaper drop height of the sample is 0.4 m.

[0147] Without being limited by any theory, it is speculated that the crystal phase structure, stress structure and thickness of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass are closely related to the damage resistance of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass, especially the sharp object penetration resistance and the rough surface drop damage resistance. However, how to better realize the coordination of the three to better improve the damage resistance of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass needs further study. In the present application, for chemically strengthened microcrystalline glasses of different thicknesses, by making the stress structure of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass with a specific crystal phase structure satisfy a specific relationship requirement with the thickness, the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glasses of different thicknesses can all maintain high strength performance requirements, and can all have excellent sharp object penetration resistance and excellent rough surface drop damage resistance.

[0148] The chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass provided in the present application has petalite crystal phase and lithium disilicate crystal phase as the main crystal phase, and the thickness and stress characteristics of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass satisfy a specific relationship requirement.

[0149] As described above, in some embodiments of the present application, a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic is provided, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic comprising a petalite crystal phase and a lithium disilicate crystal phase, wherein the petalite crystal phase and the lithium disilicate crystal phase have a higher mass percentage than other crystal phases present in the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic;

[0150] The chemically strengthened glass-ceramic has a compressive stress layer on the surface and a tensile stress in the interior; the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic satisfies:

[0151] 90 μm≤DOL_0;

[0152] A is 5-15;

[0153] wherein: T is the thickness of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic, in mm; t is the depth from the main surface of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic, and CS(t) is the compressive stress value at the depth of t, is the compressive stress integral of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic from any main surface to the compressive stress layer at a depth of 80 μm from the main surface, in MPa·μm; in formula A, the data is substituted into the formula as required by the units to obtain the calculation result, and the units are not involved in the calculation.

[0154] The lithium disilicate (Li2Si2O5) crystal phase is an orthorhombic crystal based on a [Si2O5] tetrahedral array, and the shape of the crystal is flat or plate-like. The petalite LiAlSi4O 10 is a monoclinic crystal, which has a three-dimensional framework structure comprising a layered structure with folded Si2O5 layers connected by Li and Al tetrahedra. The microcrystalline glass with petalite and lithium disilicate as the main crystal phase has a crystallinity of more than 70 wt%, and the presence of a large amount of microcrystalline phase in the microcrystalline glass is beneficial to better prevent the propagation of cracks and consume more impact energy during the process of breaking and crushing, thereby improving the strength and fracture toughness of the microcrystalline glass. At the same time, the optical refractive index of the lithium disilicate crystal is close to the glass matrix (such as the base glass for preparing the microcrystalline glass in the present application), which is an ideal crystal phase for preparing high-transparency microcrystalline glass. In addition, both the lithium disilicate crystal phase and the petalite crystal phase contain lithium ions that can participate in ion exchange, and can be chemically strengthened in a molten salt bath. Na + and / or K + substitute Li + in the crystal phase structure, which can form a surface stress structure and is beneficial to further improve the mechanical strength performance of the microcrystalline glass.

[0155] In the present application, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics contains petalite crystal phase and lithium disilicate crystal phase as main crystal phases, which is beneficial to obtain desired stress structure while ensuring high intrinsic strength (or also known as inherent strength), and thus ensure the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics to achieve excellent damage resistance performance under ultra-thin thickness.

[0156] In the present application, when the value of formula A is too small, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics is difficult to simultaneously consider excellent anti-penetration performance and anti-rough surface drop damage performance, and when the value of formula A is too large, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics will have problems of large thickness, and will have problems of excessive internal stress leading to unstable overall structure and poor safety, which will greatly limit the application of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics.

[0157] In the present application, by making the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics meet the requirements of specific crystal phase structure and formula A, the thickness, crystal phase structure and stress structure are cooperated well under the condition of ensuring that the thickness of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics meets the requirements of different electronic device applications, which can better improve the damage resistance performance of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics, especially can ensure to obtain the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic product with excellent anti-penetration performance and excellent anti-rough surface drop damage performance. In addition, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics of the present application also has excellent anti-penetration performance and excellent anti-rough surface drop damage performance even when the thickness is thin, which can reduce the probability of damage to the screen of the electronic device, ensure the beauty of the screen, and thus can meet the market demand for large screen and light and thin electronic devices.

[0158] In some embodiments, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics satisfies: DOL_0 can be 90 μm to 200 μm, 90 μm to 170 μm, 90 μm to 160 μm, 95 μm to 150 μm, 100 μm to 150 μm, 95 μm to 145 μm, or 100 μm to 145 μm. In some embodiments, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics satisfies: DOL_0 can be greater than or equal to 90 μm, greater than or equal to 95 μm, greater than or equal to 100 μm, greater than or equal to 105 μm, greater than or equal to 110 μm, greater than or equal to 115 μm, or greater than or equal to 120 μm, or can be a value within a range defined by any two of the above-mentioned specific values as endpoints, as long as a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic with desired properties of the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that in specific embodiments, any of the above-mentioned ranges can be combined with any other range, as long as a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic with desired properties of the present application can be obtained. By having a suitable depth of compressive stress layer DOL_0, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic can be more resistant to sudden cracks caused by impact or penetration of blunt or sharp objects, which can directly penetrate the compressive stress region to the tensile stress region, and thus can be more resistant to breakage of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic. In turn, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic can be more resistant to energy that drives crack propagation, and thus can have excellent damage resistance, such as excellent sharp object penetration resistance and excellent rough surface drop damage resistance.

[0159] In some embodiments, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics satisfies: DOL_0 can be 90 μm, 95 μm, 100 μm, 105 μm, 113 μm, 115 μm, 111.48 μm, 110.32 μm, 113.85 μm, 114.65 μm, 113.82 μm, 124.84 μm, 116.25 μm, 129.90 μm, 114.26 μm, 136.58 μm, 115.54 μm, 144.85 μm, 109.58 μm, 108.86 μm, 98.00 μm, 120 μm, 125 μm, 130 μm, 140 μm, 150 μm, 160 μm, or 170 μm, or can be a value within a range defined by any two of the above-mentioned specific values as endpoints, as long as a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic with desired properties of the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that in specific embodiments, any of the above-mentioned ranges can be combined with any other range, as long as a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic with desired properties of the present application can be obtained.

[0160] In some embodiments, the chemically strengthened glass satisfies the formula A: 5≤A≤15, 6≤A≤14, 7≤A≤13, 8≤A≤12, 9≤A≤10, 5≤A≤10, or 10≤A≤15. In some embodiments, the chemically strengthened glass satisfies the formula A: A can be 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 12.5, 13, 13.5, 14, 14.5, 7.635, 5.809, 9.060, 5.907, 5.426, 7.067, 6.609, 9.628, 5.999, 9.782, 6.541, 12.510, 6.503, 5.806, 5.430, or 15, or a value within a range between any two of the foregoing specific values, as long as the chemically strengthened glass having the desired properties of the present application is obtained. It should be understood that in specific embodiments, any of the foregoing ranges can be combined with any other range, as long as the chemically strengthened glass having the desired properties of the present application is obtained.

[0161] In some embodiments of the present application, the chemically strengthened glass satisfies the formula B: 550≤B≤3500.

[0162] B = |CT_AV| x DOL_0 x (1000 x T 2.8 - 2 x DOL_0 x T 1.8 ) / 1000, where B has a value of 550 to 3500.

[0163] where T is the thickness of the chemically strengthened glass in mm, |CT_AV| is the absolute value of the average tensile stress in MPa, and DOL_0 is the depth of the compressive stress layer in μm. The data is substituted into the formula B according to the above units, and the result is obtained, and the unit is not involved in the calculation. By satisfying the specific relationship between the thickness and the stress of the chemically strengthened glass, the damage resistance of the chemically strengthened glass is improved.

[0164] In some embodiments, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics satisfies the formula B can be 800-3500, 900-3400, 1000-3300, 1200-3000, 1500-2800, 1800-2500, 800-2500 or 2500-3500. In some embodiments, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics satisfies the formula B can be 800, 850, 900, 950, 1000, 1050, 1100, 1150, 1200, 1250, 1300, 1350, 1400, 1450, 1500, 1550, 1600, 1650, 1700, 1750, 1800, 1850, 1900, 1950, 2000, 2050, 2100, 2150, 2200, 2250, 2300, 2350, 2400, 2450, 2500, 2550, 2600, 2650, 2700, 2750, 2800, 2850, 2900, 2950, 3000, 3050, 3100, 3150, 3200, 3250, 3300, 3350, 3400, 955.0, 877.3, 1175.9, 1043.3, 1209.0, 1320.5, 1398.7, 1989.5, 1621.4, 2339.9, 2340, 1729.7, 2879.3, 995.6, 895.9, 562.9, 3450 or 3500, or a value within a range defined by any two of the above specific values as endpoints, as long as the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with desired properties of the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that in specific embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other range, as long as the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with desired properties of the present application can be obtained.

[0165] In some embodiments of the present application, the thickness T of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics is less than or equal to 1 mm, preferably, the thickness T of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics is 0.3-1 mm, more preferably, the thickness T of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics is 0.35-0.70 mm. Electronic devices tend to pursue thin and light, and when the thickness is too large, on the one hand, it will increase the weight, on the other hand, it will lead to poor optical effect, which is not conducive to achieving high transparency.

[0166] In some embodiments, the thickness T of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics may be 0.30 mm to 1 mm, 0.30 mm to 0.9 mm, 0.30 mm to 0.8 mm, 0.35 mm to 0.7 mm, or 0.7 mm to 1.0 mm.

[0170] Without being bound by any theory, the larger the area enclosed by the compressive stress curve and the straight line y=0, the straight line x=0, and the straight line x=80μm, the greater the stress intensity value within the range of the compressive stress layer depth of 0μm and the compressive stress layer depth of 80μm, indicating that its surface stress level is better, which is conducive to ensuring that the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass achieves excellent resistance to sharp object penetration and resistance to damage from falling on rough surfaces.

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

[0172] In some embodiments of the present application, the chemically strengthened glass satisfies 70 MPa≤|CT_AV|≤160 MPa, preferably 77 MPa≤|CT_AV|≤160 MPa, and more preferably 110 MPa≤|CT_AV|≤150 MPa, where |CT_AV| is the absolute value of the average tensile stress. By keeping |CT_AV| of the chemically strengthened glass at an appropriate level, it is beneficial to ensure that the chemically strengthened glass has a desired tensile stress layer distribution structure, ensuring that it has a high surface stress level, and the higher the surface compressive stress level, the more residual energy of a drop, a crush, a penetration, an impact, or a collision can be offset, thereby ensuring that the chemically strengthened glass has excellent damage resistance, such as excellent sharp object penetration resistance and excellent rough surface drop damage resistance.

[0173] In some embodiments, the |CT AV| of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics can be 70 MPa to 160 MPa, 80 MPa to 160 MPa, 90 MPa to 160 MPa, 100 MPa to 160 MPa, 77 MPa to 160 MPa, or 110 MPa to 150 MPa.

It should be understood that any of the above ranges can be combined with any of the other ranges, as long as the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics has the desired properties.

[0174] In some embodiments of the present application, 0.17≤DOL 0 / T≤0.25, preferably, 0.18≤DOL 0 / T≤0.25. By satisfying the appropriate proportional relationship between the compressive stress layer depth and the thickness of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics, it is beneficial to ensure that the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics is in a relatively optimal stress distribution state, and thus it is beneficial to exert the improvement effect of the stress structure on the mechanical strength performance.

[0175] In some embodiments, the DOL 0 / T of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics can be 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.2, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, or 0.25, or a value within a range having any two of the above specifically stated values as endpoints. It should be understood that any of the above ranges can be combined with any of the other ranges, as long as the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics has the desired properties.

[0176] In some embodiments of the present application, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics satisfy: 50000 MPa / mm≤CT_LD≤80000 MPa / mm, preferably, 55000 MPa / mm≤CT_LD≤80000 MPa / mm, more preferably, 61000 MPa / mm≤CT_LD≤75000 MPa / mm, wherein CT_LD is the compressive stress linear density. By making the CT_LD of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics no less than 50000 MPa / mm, it is beneficial to ensure that the compressive stress stored inside the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics is dense enough, and thus to ensure that it has a high surface stress level, and to ensure that it has excellent damage resistance, such as excellent rough surface drop damage resistance, to meet market demand.

[0177] In some embodiments, the CT_LD of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics can be 50000 MPa / mm-75000 MPa / mm, 58000 MPa / mm-62000 MPa / mm, 55000 MPa / mm-80000 MPa / mm, 56000 MPa / mm-64000 MPa / mm, or 57000 MPa / mm-63000 MPa / mm. In some embodiments, the CT_LD of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics can be 50000 MPa / mm, 55000 MPa / mm, 68873.25 MPa / mm, 63938.07 MPa / mm, 69956.48 MPa / mm, 61636.69 MPa / mm, 58114.73 MPa / mm, 57871.88 MPa / mm, 52716.10 MPa / mm, 67103.36 MPa / mm, 54112.64 MPa / mm, 65328.99 MPa / mm, 50012.60 MPa / mm, 66406.06 MPa / mm, 63278.87 MPa / mm, 57316.32 MPa / mm, 74715.00 MPa / mm, 75000 MPa / mm, 76000 MPa / mm, 77000 MPa / mm, 78000 MPa / mm, 79000 MPa / mm, or 80000 MPa / mm, or can be a value within a range defined by any two of the above specific values as endpoints, as long as a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic having the desired properties of the present application is obtained. It should be understood that in specific embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other range, as long as a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic having the desired properties of the present application is obtained.

[0178] In some embodiments of the present application, the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics satisfy: 30 MPa≤CS_80, wherein CS_80 refers to the compressive stress value at a depth of 80 μm from the main surface of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics. In some embodiments, the CS_80 of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics can be 30 MPa, 35 MPa, 40 MPa, 45 MPa, 50 MPa, 55 MPa, 60 MPa, 69 MPa, 85 MPa, 114.7 MPa, 82.7 MPa, 118.7 MPa, 86.7 MPa, 68.7 MPa, 83.6 MPa, 69.5 MPa, 131.9 MPa, 77.5 MPa, 132.4 MPa, 62.1 MPa, 135.9 MPa, 91.26 MPa, 73.26 MPa, 59.5 MPa, 100 MPa, 110 MPa, 120 MPa, 130 MPa, 140 MPa, or 150 MPa, or can be a value within a range defined by any two of the above-mentioned specific values as endpoints, as long as a chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with the desired properties of the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that in specific embodiments, any of the above-mentioned ranges can be combined with any other range, as long as a chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with the desired properties of the present application can be obtained.

[0179] It should be understood that the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics of the present application can be made from a glass-ceramics that has been chemically strengthened, and that the composition and phase assemblage of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics at a depth deeper than the depth of the compressive stress layer (DOL), such as at the center of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics or the tensile stress layer, is the same or substantially the same as the composition and phase assemblage of the glass-ceramics, unless an over-ion exchange treatment has been performed. Compared to the glass-ceramics before the chemical strengthening treatment, the composition at the surface of the glass-ceramics article after the chemical strengthening treatment can be different from the composition of the glass-ceramics before it goes through the ion exchange process. This is because, when ion exchange is performed, the type of alkali metal ions (e.g., Li + or Na + ) at the surface of the just-formed glass-ceramics is replaced by a larger alkali metal ion (e.g., Na + or K + ), respectively. However, in embodiments, the glass composition and phase assemblage at or near the depth or thickness center of the glass-ceramics article still has the composition and phase assemblage of the just-formed glass-ceramics. That is, in the present application, the composition (e.g., the composition of the tensile stress layer) and phase assemblage at the center of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics made by the chemical strengthening treatment is the same or substantially the same as the glass-ceramics that has not been chemically strengthened.

[0180] The glass-ceramics of the present application can be prepared by heat treating a base glass. The base glass has the same or substantially the same composition as the glass-ceramics, in terms of mole percent of oxides.

[0181] In some embodiments of the present application, the base glass or the glass-ceramics or the composition of the central portion or the tensile stress layer of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics comprises, in terms of mole percent of oxides, SiO2: 64-70%, Al2O3: 3.5-5.0%, P2O5: 0.7-1.5%, ZrO2: 1.5-3%, Na2O: 0-3%, K2O: 0-1%, Li2O: 20-26%, CaO: 0-1.5%, B2O3: 0-2%. By satisfying the specific glass composition, it is beneficial to obtain the glass-ceramics satisfying the specific crystal phase structure, and it is beneficial to obtain the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics satisfying the specific stress structure. It should be understood that in specific embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other range, as long as the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with the required properties of the present application can be obtained.

[0182] In the present application, SiO2 is an oxide that forms a glass network skeleton, which is used to stabilize the network structure of the base glass, and is also an important component of lithium disilicate crystal phase and petalite crystal phase. When the glass composition contains a sufficiently high content of SiO2, it is beneficial to form a sufficient amount of petalite crystals and lithium disilicate crystals. However, when the content of SiO2 is too high, it will not only cause the melting property of the glass to deteriorate, causing the viscosity of the molten glass liquid to rise, making it difficult to clarify the glass liquid, increasing the difficulty of forming the base glass, but also causing the heat treatment time to be longer when the base glass is prepared into a glass-ceramics. Therefore, in order to meet the glass forming property requirements and achieve the desired crystallization effect of the present application, the mole percent content of SiO2 in the present application is 64-70%, preferably 64-69.5%, more preferably 67.5-69.5%.

[0183] In some embodiments, the base glass or the glass-ceramics or the composition of the central portion or the tensile stress layer of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics comprises, in terms of mole percent of oxides, SiO2: 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 69.5%, 70%, 68.02%, 64.39%, or 68.74%, or a value within a numerical range formed by any two of the above specific values as endpoints, as long as the glass-ceramics or the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with the required properties of the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that in specific embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other range, as long as the glass-ceramics or the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with the required properties of the present application can be obtained.

[0184] In the present application, Al2O3 can be used to build the glass framework, and is an indispensable component to form petalite. Appropriate amount of Al2O3 can stabilize the glass network structure, which is conducive to improve the mechanical properties, chemical durability and chemical strengthening effect, and inhibit the phase separation of the glass, reduce the thermal expansion coefficient, and increase the strain point. When the content of Al2O3 is too low, the glass has a tendency to have a high thermal expansion coefficient, its chemical durability decreases, and the crystal nucleus becomes large, and the microcrystalline glass is prone to become cloudy; when the content of Al2O3 is too high, the melting property of the glass becomes poor, the production becomes difficult, and it is easy to precipitate mullite and other crystals to make the glass lose transparency. Therefore, in order to meet the desired crystal structure, make the microcrystalline glass or the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass obtain the desired performance, the molar percentage content of Al2O3 in the present application is 3.5% to 5.0%, preferably 4% to 4.8%, more preferably 4% to 4.5%.

[0185] In some embodiments, the molar percentage of Al2O3 in the composition of the substrate glass or the composition of the microcrystalline glass or the composition at the center or the composition of the tensile stress layer of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass can be 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.7%, 3.8%, 3.9%, 4%, 4.1%, 4.2%, 4.4%, 4.5%, 4.8%, 5.0%, 4.30%, 4.07% or 4.41%, or can be a value within a value range consisting of any two of the above specific values as endpoints, as long as the microcrystalline glass or the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass with the desired performance of the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that in specific embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other range, as long as the microcrystalline glass or the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass with the desired performance of the present application can be obtained.

[0186] In the present application, P2O5 is a glass-forming oxide, which exists in the network structure as phosphorus-oxygen tetrahedrons [PO4]. P2O5 appears first during the heat treatment process, first causing the glass to phase separate and segregate to form an amorphous precursor phase Li3PO4, and then using Li3PO4 as a non-uniform nucleation point, crystalline phases such as lithium silicate grow attached to the amorphous Li3PO4. As the P2O5 content increases, the number of non-uniform nucleation points increases, and the grains with Li3PO4 as nucleation points are effectively refined, which is beneficial to improving the overall transmittance of the microcrystalline glass, the uniformity of the glass, and reducing the b value. However, when the P2O5 content is too high, more Li3PO4 crystals are easily generated, resulting in insufficient Li2O content to form lithium silicate and petalite, which in turn causes the substrate glass to easily precipitate quartz crystals, resulting in a decrease in the transmittance of the microcrystalline glass and a decrease in the overall optical uniformity of the microcrystalline glass. When the P2O5 content is too low, the precipitated crystals are too large, which can easily cause the glass to lose transparency. Therefore, in order to achieve the desired crystallization effect of the present application and make the microcrystalline glass or chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass obtain the desired performance, the molar percentage content of P2O5 is 0.7% to 1.5%, preferably 0.8% to 1.5%, and more preferably 0.8% to 1.2%.

[0187] In some embodiments, the molar percentage of P2O5 in the composition of the substrate glass, the composition of the glass-ceramics, or the center of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics or the composition of the tensile stress layer, measured as a mole percentage of oxides, can be 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.17%, 1.14% or 0.95%, or can be a value within a numerical range consisting of any two of the above specific values ​​as endpoints, as long as the glass-ceramics or chemically strengthened glass-ceramics having the desired properties of the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that in specific embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other ranges, as long as the glass-ceramics or chemically strengthened glass-ceramics having the desired properties of the present application can be obtained.

[0188] In this application, an appropriate amount of ZrO2 can increase the viscosity, elastic modulus, refractive index, and chemical stability of the glass and reduce the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass. ZrO2 remains in the residual glass phase after heat treatment, which helps improve the mechanical strength of the residual glass phase. However, excessive ZrO2 increases the difficulty of melting the substrate glass and causes crystallization during the substrate glass melting process. Therefore, to meet the glass formability requirements and achieve the desired strength effect of this application, the molar percentage of ZrO2 is set to 1.5% to 3%, preferably 2.5% to 3%, and more preferably 2.6% to 3%.

[0189] In some embodiments, the mole percent of Zr02in the composition of the base glass or the composition of the glass-ceramic or the composition at the center of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic or the composition of the compressive stress layer can be 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 2.88%, 2.98%, or 2.89%, or a value within a range having any two of these specific numerical values as endpoints, as long as a glass-ceramic or chemically strengthened glass-ceramic having the desired properties herein is obtained. It will be understood that any of the above ranges can be combined with any of the other ranges, as long as a glass-ceramic or chemically strengthened glass-ceramic having the desired properties herein is obtained.

[0190] In the present application, Na20 is an interstitial oxide, which can provide free oxygen. An appropriate amount of Na20 is beneficial to improve the viscosity of the glass, promote the melting and fining of the glass melt, and promote the precipitation of lithium disilicate crystal phase, reduce the crystallization tendency of the glass, and increase the transmittance of the glass. However, an excessive amount of Na20 can affect the network structure of the glass, and thus affect the strength performance of the glass-ceramic. Therefore, in order to ensure that the glass-ceramic or chemically strengthened glass-ceramic has the desired structure and obtains the desired properties, the mole percent of Na20 is 0-3%, preferably 0-2%, and more preferably 0-1%.

[0191] In some embodiments, the mole percent of Na20 in the composition of the base glass or the composition of the glass-ceramic or the composition at the center of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic or the composition of the compressive stress layer can be 0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 0.15%, or 0.78%, or a value within a range having any two of these specific numerical values as endpoints, as long as a glass-ceramic or chemically strengthened glass-ceramic having the desired properties herein is obtained. It will be understood that any of the above ranges can be combined with any of the other ranges, as long as a glass-ceramic or chemically strengthened glass-ceramic having the desired properties herein is obtained.

[0192] In the present application, K2O is a glass network modifier, and an appropriate amount of K2O can reduce the tendency of crystallization of the glass, increase the transparency and gloss of the glass. However, when the content of K2O is too high, the crystallization ability of the glass becomes stronger, the glass is prone to devitrification, and the glass-ceramics is prone to breakage. Therefore, in order to ensure that the glass-ceramics or the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics meets the desired structure and obtains the desired performance, the molar percentage content of K2O is 0-1%, preferably 0-0.5%, and more preferably 0-0.3%.

[0193] In some embodiments, the molar percentage of K2O in the composition of the substrate glass or the composition of the glass-ceramics or the composition at the center or the composition of the compressive stress layer of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics can be 0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, or 0.07%, or can be a value within a value range consisting of any two of the above specific values as endpoints, as long as a glass-ceramics or a chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with the desired performance of the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that in specific embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other range, as long as a glass-ceramics or a chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with the desired performance of the present application can be obtained.

[0194] In the present application, Li2O is the main component of the petalite crystal phase and the lithium disilicate crystal phase, and is also necessary for chemical strengthening. An appropriate amount of Li2O is beneficial to ensure that the transparency, melt forming effect, crystallization ability, chemical strengthening performance, and the like of the glass-ceramics meet the requirements. When the content of Li2O is too low, not only is it easy to cause the glass to precipitate impurity crystal phases such as mullite, resulting in devitrification of the glass, but also it is easy to reduce the meltability or increase the viscosity of the glass, resulting in difficulty in forming the substrate glass; when the content of Li2O is too high, it is easy to affect the network structure of the glass, and also easy to make the crystallization ability of the glass too strong, increasing the devitrification tendency of the glass. Therefore, in order to obtain a glass-ceramics or a chemically strengthened glass-ceramics that meets the desired crystal phase structure, optical performance, and mechanical strength performance, the molar percentage content of Li2O is 20%-26%, preferably 20.5%-25%, and more preferably 20.5%-23.5%.

[0195] In some embodiments, the molar percent of Li20 in the composition of the base glass or the composition of the glass-ceramic or the composition at the center of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic or the composition of the compressive stress layer can be 20%, 20.5%, 21%, 21.5%, 22%, 22.5%, 23%, 23.5%, 24%, 24.5%, 25%, 25.5%, 26%, 22.40%, 25.68%, or 21.48%, or a value within a range having any two of the aforementioned specific numeric values as endpoints, as long as a glass-ceramic or a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic having the desired properties of the present application is obtained. It is understood that in specific embodiments, any of the aforementioned ranges can be combined with any of the other ranges, as long as a glass-ceramic or a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic having the desired properties of the present application is obtained.

[0196] In the present application, CaO can reduce the high temperature viscosity, which is beneficial for glass forming, and can also enhance the network structure, so that the stress gain of the glass-ceramic during the strengthening process is enhanced. When the content of CaO is too high, too much CaO remains in the glass phase, which will cause a refractive index difference with the main crystal phase, resulting in a decrease in the transmittance and an increase in the haze of the glass-ceramic. Therefore, in order to obtain a glass-ceramic or a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic that satisfies the desired optical and mechanical strength properties, the molar percent of CaO is 0-1.5%, preferably 0-1%, and more preferably 0.5-1%.

[0197] In some embodiments, the molar percent of CaO in the composition of the base glass or the composition of the glass-ceramic or the composition at the center of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic or the composition of the compressive stress layer can be 0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 0.89%, 0.93%, or 0.73%, or a value within a range having any two of the aforementioned specific numeric values as endpoints, as long as a glass-ceramic or a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic having the desired properties of the present application is obtained. It is understood that in specific embodiments, any of the aforementioned ranges can be combined with any of the other ranges, as long as a glass-ceramic or a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic having the desired properties of the present application is obtained.

[0198] In the present application, B2O3 helps to reduce the melting temperature of the base glass, improve the transmittance, overall uniformity and other properties of the glass-ceramics. However, when the amount of B2O3 is too much, the stress of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics will decrease, and the increase of the content of B2O3 in the residual glass phase will reduce the viscosity of the residual glass phase, promote the growth of lithium metasilicate crystals and affect the optical transmittance of the glass-ceramics. Therefore, in order to obtain glass-ceramics or chemically strengthened glass-ceramics that meet the desired optical and mechanical strength properties, the molar percentage content of B2O3 is 0-2%, preferably 0-1%, and more preferably 0-0.8%.

[0199] In some embodiments, the molar percentage of B2O3 in the composition of the base glass or the composition of the glass-ceramics or the composition at the center or the composition of the tensile stress layer of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics can be 0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, 0.08% or 0.8%, or can be a value within the numerical range formed by any two of the above specific numerical values as endpoints, as long as the glass-ceramics or chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with the desired properties of the present application can be obtained. It should be understood that in specific embodiments, any of the above ranges can be combined with any other range, as long as the glass-ceramics or chemically strengthened glass-ceramics with the desired properties of the present application can be obtained.

[0200] In some embodiments of the present application, the molar percentage of ZrO2 [ZrO2], the molar percentage of CaO [CaO], the molar percentage of P2O5 [P2O5], the molar percentage of Na2O [Na2O], the molar percentage of K2O [K2O] and the molar percentage of B2O3 [B2O3] in the composition of the base glass or the composition of the glass-ceramics or the composition at the center or the composition of the tensile stress layer of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramics satisfy the following relationship:

[0201] 3.5%≤([ZrO2]+[CaO]+[P2O5]) / EXP([Na2O]+[K2O]+[B2O3])≤5.5%, preferably 4.5%≤([ZrO2]+[CaO]+[P2O5]) / EXP([Na2O]+[K2O]+[B2O3])≤5.3%.

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

[0210] In some embodiments of the present application, the average grain size of the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass is not more than 100nm, preferably, the average grain size is not more than 50nm, more preferably, the average grain size is 15nm to 30nm. A suitable average grain size is beneficial to make the microcrystalline glass have excellent optical properties and high intrinsic strength, and if the average grain size is too high, the microcrystalline glass is easy to lose transparency, and the chemical strengthening effect will also be affected. In the present application, by making the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass meet a suitable average grain size, it is beneficial to ensure that the chemically strengthened microcrystalline glass realizes excellent mechanical strength performance and excellent optical performance.

[0211] In some embodiments, the average grain size of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic can be 100 nm, 50 nm, 40 nm, 35 nm, 30 nm, 25 nm, 20 nm, 15 nm, 19.7 nm, 18.6 nm, 20.8 nm, 20.3 nm, 25.2 nm, 23.2 nm, 22.6 nm, or 10 nm, or can be a value within a range between any two of the above specifically named values as endpoints, as long as a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic having the desired properties of the present application is obtained.

In the present application, by making the glass-ceramic meet the desired crystallinity, it is beneficial to make the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic prepared therefrom also meet the desired crystallinity, and it is more beneficial to obtain a chemically strengthened glass-ceramic that meets the desired high mechanical strength performance, high damage resistance performance, and excellent optical performance.

A higher Young's modulus is beneficial to ensure that the chemically strengthened glass ceramic has high mechanical strength and high damage resistance.

In the present application, the b value refers to the optical b value measured under D65 light source, and the Konica Minolta CM-3600A is used to test the b value in the transmittance mode, and the result is shown as b(D65). A smaller b value is beneficial to ensure that the glass ceramic has a better display effect, and a larger b value will cause the glass ceramic to have an undesirable color, resulting in a display effect that cannot meet the application requirements of the display cover glass.

[0224] Having described the composition, crystalline phase structure, and stress structure of the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic, the method of making the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic is now described in detail.

[0225] In the present application, the method of making the chemically strengthened glass-ceramic includes the process of making the glass-ceramic and the process of chemical strengthening. The process of making the glass-ceramic includes the process of making the base glass and the process of heat treating the base glass (i.e., the process of making the glass-ceramic).

[0226] In the present application, the base glass can be prepared by using the forming method in the prior art, and the present application does not have any limitation in this regard. For example, the forming method of the base glass can include, but is not limited to, a float method, an overflow method, a calendering method, or a casting method. For example, the components are mixed according to the formula, and after being fused and formed, the base glass can be obtained by cooling and annealing.

[0227] For example, the raw materials (industrial raw materials) are prepared according to the formula, a refining agent is added, and then the raw material mixture is mixed for a period of time to obtain a uniformly mixed raw material mixture. The raw material mixture is placed in a platinum crucible or a furnace and heated to 1550-1650°C, preferably maintained at the melting temperature for 5h or more, and then poured into a forming mold to cool and form, preferably cooled to about 900°C, and then placed in an annealing furnace for annealing treatment, preferably at an annealing temperature of 450-500°C, preferably for 12-48h, and then cooled to room temperature in the furnace, to obtain the base glass. The person skilled in the art can select the type and amount of the refining agent according to the needs, without the need for creative labor. Further, the refining agent can include, but is not limited to, one or more of sodium chloride, tin oxide, antimony oxide, or arsenic oxide, and the amount of the refining agent can be 0-1wt% of the total amount of the raw material.

[0228] In some embodiments of the present application, the heat treatment process of the base glass can include a nucleation treatment and / or a crystallization treatment, preferably a nucleation treatment and a crystallization treatment. In some embodiments, the crystallization treatment includes a one-step crystallization treatment or a two-step crystallization treatment. In some embodiments, in order to prepare a curved microcrystalline glass, a two-step crystallization treatment can be used. When a two-step crystallization treatment is used, the second step of the crystallization treatment is to heat the crystallized glass material obtained by the first step of the crystallization treatment to a crystallization temperature and perform a 3D heat bending forming treatment.

[0229] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to obtain the desired physical and chemical properties of the microcrystalline glass, the heat treatment of the base glass can be performed in one step, or in two or more steps. If the heat treatment is performed in one step, it means that the nucleation treatment (i.e., the nucleation treatment) is not performed separately, and the nucleation and target crystal growth are directly performed in one step of temperature rising. It can be understood as directly performing the crystallization treatment. If the heat treatment is performed in two steps, it means that the nucleation treatment (i.e., the nucleation treatment) is performed first, and then the target crystal growth treatment (i.e., the crystallization treatment) is performed.

[0230] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to precipitate the desired target crystal phase in the glass-ceramics and obtain the desired physical and chemical properties, the base glass is subjected to nucleation treatment and crystallization treatment in sequence. Further, when the nucleation treatment is performed, the nucleation temperature can be 500-700°C, and the nucleation time can be 10-1440 min; when the crystallization treatment is performed, the crystallization temperature can be 600-750°C, and the crystallization time can be 5-1440 min. During the heat treatment for nucleation treatment and crystallization treatment, the heating rate is preferably controlled to be 5-15°C / min, and more preferably the heating rate is 10°C / min.

[0231] In the present application, after the heat treatment, the skilled person in the art can also perform other conventional steps to obtain the glass-ceramics sample that meets the required specifications or requirements, for example, the steps of shaping treatment, cutting treatment (such as cutting using a multi-wire saw), CNC processing (computer numerical control), thinning treatment, or polishing treatment, etc.

[0232] In the present application, the chemical strengthening treatment, i.e. ion exchange method, is performed by immersing the glass-ceramics in a molten salt bath, so that the alkali metal ions with smaller ionic radius in the glass-ceramics are exchanged with the alkali metal ions with larger ionic radius in the molten salt bath, thereby forming a compressive stress layer on the surface of the glass-ceramics, and obtaining the chemical strengthened glass-ceramics with better mechanical properties.

[0233] In some embodiments of the present application, the chemical strengthening treatment can be performed by single-step strengthening method or multi-step strengthening method. The molten salt bath used in the chemical strengthening treatment is a molten salt bath containing sodium salt and / or potassium salt. Preferably, the molten salt bath used in the chemical strengthening treatment of the present application is a mixed molten salt bath containing sodium salt and potassium salt, and the temperature of the molten salt bath is preferably 380-550°C. In some embodiments of the present application, the concentration of potassium salt in the salt bath is preferably 1wt%-95wt%, the concentration of sodium salt is 5wt%-99wt%, and more preferably a certain amount (such as 0.01wt%-0.3wt%) of lithium salt is added to the salt bath. In some embodiments of the present application, the time for chemical strengthening treatment is preferably 0.1-24h. The sodium salt can be selected from at least one of sodium nitrate, sodium sulfate, and sodium carbonate, and is preferably sodium nitrate; the potassium salt can be selected from at least one of potassium nitrate, potassium sulfate, and potassium carbonate, and is preferably potassium nitrate; and the lithium salt can be selected from at least one of lithium nitrate, lithium sulfate, and lithium carbonate, and is preferably lithium nitrate.
