[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 63 / 633,265, filed on April 12, 2024, the content of which is relied upon and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.Field
[0002] The present specification generally relates to glass compositions and, in particular, to glass compositions having improved mechanical durability.Technical Background
[0003] Glass articles, such as cover glasses, glass backplanes, housings, and the like, are employed in both consumer and commercial electronic devices, such as smart phones, smart watches, and tablets. The mobile nature of these portable devices makes the devices and the glass articles included therein particularly vulnerable to accidental drops on hard surfaces, such as the ground. Moreover, glass articles, such as cover glasses, may include “touch” functionality, which necessitates that the glass article be contacted by various objects including a user’s fingers and / or stylus devices. The glass articles, therefore, must be sufficiently robust to endure accidental dropping and regular contact without damage, such as scratching. Additionally, when dropped, the glass article may forcefully fragment, causing damage and negatively impacting the functionality of the device.
[0004] Accordingly, a need exists for alternative glasses with improved mechanical properties.SUMMARY

A total sum of oxide components in the glass composition may be equal to 100 mol%.
[0067] Various embodiments of glass compositions and glass articles formed therefrom will be described herein with specific reference to the appended drawings.
[0068] Ranges may be expressed herein as from “about” one particular value, and / or to “about” another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another embodiment includes from the one particular value and / or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms another embodiment. It will be further understood that the endpoints of each of the ranges are significant both in relation to the other endpoint, and independently of the other endpoint.
[0069] Directional terms as used herein - for example up, down, right, left, front, back, top, bottom - are made only with reference to the figures as drawn and are not intended to imply absolute orientation.
[0070] Unless otherwise expressly stated, it is in no way intended that any method set forth herein be construed as requiring that its steps be performed in a specific order, nor that with any apparatus specific orientations be required. Accordingly, where a method claim does not actually recite an order to be followed by its steps, or that any apparatus claim does not actually recite an order or orientation to individual components, or it is not otherwise specifically stated in the claims or description that the steps are to be limited to a specific order, or that a specific order or orientation to components of an apparatus is not recited, it is in no way intended that an order or orientation be inferred, in any respect. This holds for any possible non-express basis for interpretation, including: matters of logic with respect to arrangement of steps, operational flow, order of components, or orientation of components; plain meaning derived from grammatical organization or punctuation, and; the number or type of embodiments described in the specification.
[0071] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a” component includes aspects having two or more such components, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0072] As used herein, the phrase “at least one of’ does not modify each of the constituents or components in a list immediately following thereafter. For example, a recitation “at least one ofA, B, and C,” does not mean “at least one of A, at least one of B, and at least one of C.” Instead, this recitation indicates selection of at least one from a group including A, B, and C.
[0073] In the embodiments of the glass composition and the resultant glass article described herein, the concentrations of constituent components (e.g., SiCh, AI2O3, and the like) are specified in mole percent (mol%) on an oxide basis, unless otherwise specified. A total sum of concentrations of oxide components in the glass composition and the resultant glass article is equal to 100 mol%.
[0074] The term “substantially free,” when used to describe the concentration and / or absence of a particular constituent component in a glass composition and the resultant glass article, means that the constituent component is not intentionally added to the glass composition and the resultant glass article. However, the glass composition and the resultant glass article may contain traces of the constituent component as a contaminant or tramp in amounts of less than 0.05 weight percent (wt%). As noted herein, the remainder of the application specifies the concentrations of constituent component in mol%. The contaminant or tramp amounts of the constituent components are listed in wt% for manufacturing purposes and one skilled in the art would understand the contaminant and tramp amounts being listed in wt%.
[0075] The terms “0 mol%” and “free,” when used to describe the concentration and / or absence of a particular constituent component in a glass composition and the resultant glass article, means that the constituent component is not present in glass composition and the resultant glass article.
[0076] Density, as described herein, is measured by the buoyancy method of ASTM C693-93.
[0077] Refractive index, as described herein, is measured in accordance with ASTM El 967.
[0078] Stress optical coefficient (SOC), as described herein, is measured according to Procedure C (Glass Disc Method) described in ASTM standard C770-16, entitled “Standard Test Method for Measurement of Glass Stress-Optical Coefficient,” the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0079] Young’s modulus, as described herein, is provided in units of gigapascals (GPa) and is measured using resonant ultrasound spectroscopy in accordance with ASTM C623, unless otherwise indicated.
[0080] Shear modulus, as described herein, is provided in units of gigapascals (GPa). The shear modulus of the glass composition is measured in accordance with ASTM C623, unless otherwise indicated.
[0081] Poisson’s ratio, as described herein, is measured in accordance with ASTM C623, unless otherwise indicated.
[0082] The term “liquidus temperature,” as described herein, refers to the temperature at which the glass composition begins to devitrify as determined with the gradient furnace method according to ASTM C829-81.
[0083] The term “strain point,” as described herein, refers to the temperature at which the viscosity of the glass composition is 1x101468poise as measured in accordance with ASTM C598.
[0084] The terms “anneal point” or “effective annealing temperature,” as described herein, refer to the temperature at which the viscosity of the glass composition is 1x1013 18poise as measured in accordance with ASTM C598.
[0085] The term “softening point,” as described herein, refers to the temperature at which the viscosity of the glass composition is IxlO76poise as measured in accordance with ASTM C598.
[0086] The term “linear coefficient of thermal expansion” or “CTE,” as described herein, is measured in accordance with ASTM E228-85 over the temperature range of 0 °C to 300 °C and is expressed in terms of “x 10'7 / °C” as an average over the temperature range.
[0087] Fracture toughness (Kic) represents the ability of a glass composition to resist fracture. Fracture toughness is measured on a non- strengthened glass article, such as measuring the Kic value prior to ion exchange treatment of the glass article, thereby representing a feature of a glass article prior to ion exchange. The fracture toughness test methods described herein are not suitable for glasses that have been exposed to ion exchange treatment. But, fracture toughnessmeasurements performed as described herein on the same glass article prior to ion exchange treatment correlate to fracture toughness after ion exchange treatment, and are accordingly used as such. The chevron notched short bar (CNSB) method utilized to measure the Kic value is disclosed in Reddy, K.P.R. et al, “Fracture Toughness Measurement of Glass and Ceramic Materials Using Chevron-Notched Specimens,” J. Am. Ceram. Soc., 71 [6], C-310-C-313 (1988) except that Y*mis calculated using equation 5 of Bubsey, R.T. et al., “Closed-Form Expressions for Crack-Mouth Displacement and Stress Intensity Factors for Chevron-Notched Short Bar and Short Rod Specimens Based on Experimental Compliance Measurements,” NASA Technical Memorandum 83796, pp. 1-30 (October 1992). Unless otherwise specified, all fracture toughness values were measured by chevron notched short bar (CNSB) method.
[0088] Vickers hardness, as described herein, is measured according to ASTM E384.
[0089] The term “low MgO,” as used herein, refers to glass compositions that include greater than or equal to 0.05 mol% and less than 13.3 mol% MgO.
[0090] The term “high MgO,” as used herein, refers to glass compositions that include greater than or equal to 13.3 mol% and less than or equal to 26 mol% MgO.
[0091] The description herein refers to both low MgO embodiments and high MgO embodiments, unless otherwise indicated. That is, ranges of constituents and properties provided herein may be applicable to both low MgO and high MgO embodiments.
[0092] The fracture toughness, scratch resistance, and frangibility of a glass article are generally controlled by the Young’s modulus of the glass. For example, for ion exchangeable glasses, a relatively high Young’s modulus may be advantageous because it increases the frangibility limit, allowing for more stress to be imparted before the glass becomes frangibility. Ion exchange may not be necessary if the glass achieves a desirably high Young’s modulus. Therefore, both ion exchangeable and non-ion-exchangeable glass compositions may be used to achieve a glass article having a relatively high Young’s modulus.
[0093] High field strength oxides such as Y2O3 and MgO may be added to increase the Young’s modulus of the glass. However, such oxides are generally highly refractory and, thus, additions of these oxides may increase the liquidus temperatures of the glass composition beyond thosesuitable for conventional glass manufacturing. Thus, alternative manufacturing methods may be considered such that glass compositions having a relatively high liquidus temperature may be manufactured to form glass articles having a relatively high Young’s modulus.
[0094] Disclosed herein are glass compositions and resultant glass articles that mitigate the aforementioned problems. Specifically, the glass compositions and the resultant glass articles disclosed herein comprise a relatively high concentration of Y2O3 (e.g., greater than or equal to 12.5 mol%) in combination with MgO, which results in glass compositions having improved Young’s modulus (e.g., greater than or equal to 100 GPa). In view of the relatively high liquidus temperatures (e.g., greater than or equal to 1200 °C) of the glass compositions disclosed herein, manufacturing methods that rapidly quench the glass composition (e.g., cooling rate greater than 50 °C / s) to reduce or avoid crystallization, such as gob pressing, may be used to form glass articles from the glass compositions.
[0095] The glass compositions and the resultant glass articles described herein may be described as aluminosilicate glass compositions and articles and comprise SiCh and AI2O3. The glass compositions and the resultant glass articles described herein also include Y2O3 in combination with MgO and optionally include ZrO2, bfcOs, and / or Ta20s to increase Young’s modulus. The glass compositions and the resultant glass articles described herein may also include alkali oxides, such as U2O and Na2O, to enable the ion exchangeability of the glass compositions.
[0096] SiO2 is the primary glass former in the glass compositions described herein and may function to stabilize the network structure of the resultant glass articles. The concentration of SiCh in the glass composition and the resultant glass article should be sufficiently high (e.g., greater than or equal to 20 mol%) to provide basic glass forming capability. In low MgO embodiments, the amount of SiO2 may be limited (e.g., less than or equal to 60 mol%) to control the softening point of the glass composition and, thus, may aid in improving the meltability and the formability of the resulting glass article. In high MgO embodiments, the amount of SiO2 may be limited (e.g., less than or equal to 46 mol%) to account for the MgO concentration.
[0097] Accordingly, in low MgO embodiments, the glass composition and the resultant glass article may comprise greater than or equal to 20 mol% and less than or equal 60 mol% SiO2.

In embodiments, the formed temperature may be greater than or equal to 750 °C, greater than or equal to 800 °C, or even greater than or equal to 850 °C. In embodiments, the formed temperature may be less than or equal to 1050 °C, less than or equal to 1000 °C, or even less than or equal to 950 °C.

In embodiments, the glass composition may be cooled for greater than 2 seconds, greater than 3 seconds, greater than 4 seconds, greater than 5 seconds, or even greater than 6 seconds.
[0139] Various manufacturing methods may be used to form glass articles from the glass compositions described herein, provided that the method rapidly quenches the glass composition (e.g., cooling rate greater than 50 °C / s) to reduce or avoid crystallization. For example, in embodiments, the method may comprise pressing and plastically deforming a gob of the glass composition. Such “gob-pressing methods” are described in U.S. Patent Application No. 18 / 388,235 filed November 9, 2023, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. In such gob-pressing methods, the cooling step may comprise: (i) pouring the glass composition into a mold; (ii) traversing the mold into a press; (iii) pressing the glass composition; and (iv) traversing the mold out of the press.
[0140] In embodiments, the glass compositions described herein are ion exchangeable to facilitate strengthening the glass articles made from the glass compositions. In typical ion exchange processes, smaller metal ions in the glass article are replaced or “exchanged” with largermetal ions of the same valence within a layer that is close to the outer surface of the glass article. The replacement of smaller ions with larger ions creates a compressive stress within the layer of the glass article. In embodiments, the metal ions are monovalent metal ions (e.g., Li+, Na+, K+, and the like), and ion exchange is accomplished by immersing the glass article in a bath comprising at least one molten salt of the larger metal ion that is to replace the smaller metal ion in the glass article.

[0145] In order that various embodiments be more readily understood, reference is made to the following examples, which are intended to illustrate various embodiments of the glass compositions described herein.
[0146] Tables 1-4 show example glass compositions (in terms of mol%) and the respective properties of the glass compositions. Glass articles were formed from example glass compositionsE1-E247. Tables 1 and 2 encompass the low MgO embodiments described herein. Tables 3 and 4 encompass the high MgO embodiments described herein.
[0147] The mechanical properties (i.e., Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson’s ratio) of Examples El -El 34 in Table 1 and Examples E205-E227 in Table 3 were measured using Brillouin scattering (BRS). The mechanical properties of Examples E135-E204 in Table 2 and Examples E228-E247 in Table 4 were measured using resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) in accordance with ASTM C623.
[0148] BRS is measured using a tandem interferometer at 90 degrees and 532 nm excitation. The Brilluoin frequency shift lies in GHz frequency range and is related to material parameters and angle between excitation and scattering beam as:A / = (2 n sin q> / 2)V / A©, where n is refractive index, V is speed of sound, cp is angle between excitation and scattering beams, Ao is wavelength of light. Both longitudinal and transverse peaks are typically observed in solid materials, which allows for both longitudinal and transverse speeds of sound. When the angle is 180 degrees, one cannot observe transverse peaks, but the signal is very large and may be used in the test for better accuracy. Speed of sound is related to mechanical properties and density of the material. Using Brilluoin spectroscopy and knowing density, the speed of sound may be obtained and all major mechanical properties of the material such as Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson ratio may be derived therefrom.
[0149] For the purposes of this disclosure, BRS measurements are included in Tables 1 and 3 to provide a general scope of the Young’s moduli achieved by glass compositions and resultant glass articles disclosed herein. The BRS measurement values may be converted to RUS measured values according to the following formula: RUS value = BRS value / 1.0502. Except for the values provided in Tables 1 and 3, Young’ s modulus values provided herein, including those in the claims, are measured using RUS in accordance with ASTM C623.
