Description

Glass-ceramics

[0001] The present invention relates to glass-ceramics.

[0002] In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for glass as the housing (exterior) of electronic devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs. Glass for these applications is also required to have sufficient strength to withstand harsh use. Patent Document 1, for example, discloses crystallized glass that has various physical properties required for an information recording medium substrate, as a glass that can achieve high strength. However, no studies have been conducted on glass suitable for housings. When glass is used as the housing of an electronic device, it may be colored according to the design, or the color tone may be adjusted for the purpose of blocking light from the internal components to prevent it from leaking to the outside.

[0003] In recent years, the importance of recycling has increased from the perspective of reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and expectations are also high for glass recycling. Glass is highly recyclable because it is relatively easy to reshape by heating and melting, and the amount of carbon dioxide emitted during the recycling process can be kept low, and it is expected to contribute to reducing carbon footprints.

[0004] On the other hand, many glass components recovered from used electronic devices and the like are integrated with metal materials, organic materials, ceramic materials, etc., and it is usually difficult to completely separate these materials from the glass and recover them (e.g., Non-Patent Document 1). For this reason, it is difficult to avoid components derived from the integrated metal materials, etc. being mixed into recycled products as impurities, making it difficult to produce recycled products equivalent to those before recovery, and therefore the glass recycling rate remains low. In particular, the change in color tone of glass before and after recycling is easily noticeable, which hinders an improvement in the recycling rate, and therefore there is a demand for glass that changes little in color tone even when reused.

Therefore, the crystallized glass is easy to recycle, and is expected to contribute to improving the recycling rate.

[0013] <Constituent Components> The constituent components of the crystallized glass of the present invention will be explained.

In this specification, A% to B% means A% or more and B% or less.

[0014] SiO 2 The SiO component is an essential component for forming the glass network structure of the crystallized glass. By making the amount of SiO 3 or more 30%, the chemical durability of the obtained glass can be improved and devitrification can be suppressed. 2 By keeping the content of the component at 70% or less, it is possible to prevent excessive increase in viscosity and deterioration of melting properties. 2 The content is 30.0% to 70.0%, may be 35.0% to 68.0%, or may be 40.0% to 65.0%.

On the other hand, by setting the CaO component to 5.0% or less, deterioration of devitrification can be suppressed. Therefore, the content of the CaO component may be contained in a range of 5.0% or less. The content of the CaO component may be 0.01% to 3.0%, or may be 0.1% to 2.0%.

For example, metal components (including oxides of these metals) such as Nb, Gd, Yb, Lu, V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Ag, and Mo. In addition, since the use of Pb, Th, Tl, Os, Be, Cl, and Se has been reduced in recent years as harmful chemical substances, it is preferable that the crystallized glass does not substantially contain these components.

[0032] <Various Physical Properties> (Chromaticity) The crystallized glass may have a* in the range of -0.10 to 1.2, b* in the range of -2.00 to 0.30, and L* in the range of 20.0 to 30.0 in the CIELAB color space coordinates determined from the reflectance spectrum, including specular reflection, measured with a spectrophotometer under the following conditions at an observer angle of 10° using CIE illuminant D65. When a*, b*, and L* exhibit values ​​within the above ranges, the crystallized glass exhibits a good blackness with high light-blocking properties. (Reflection Spectrum Measurement Conditions) Sample Thickness: 4 mm Light-receiving angle relative to the normal to the sample surface: 8° a*, b*, and L* are measured according to the methods described in the Examples.

[0033] a* may be -0.08 to 1.15, or may be -0.06 to 1.10. b* may be -1.50 to 0.25, or may be -1.00 to 0.20. L* may be 22.0 to 29.0, or may be 23.0 to 28.0.

The color difference (ΔE) in the L*a*b* color system specified in JIS Z 8781-6 is measured and calculated by the method described in Examples.

[0035] (Manufacturing Method) The crystallized glass according to one embodiment of the present invention can be manufactured by the following method. That is, raw materials are uniformly mixed so that the above-mentioned components are within the predetermined content range, and then melt-molded to manufacture a base glass. Next, this base glass is crystallized to manufacture a crystallized glass.

[0036] The raw glass is heat-treated to precipitate crystals inside the glass. The heat treatment may be a one-stage or two-stage heat treatment. In the two-stage heat treatment, a nucleation step is first performed by heat treatment at a first temperature, and after this nucleation step, a crystal growth step is performed by heat treatment at a second temperature higher than that of the nucleation step. The first temperature of the two-stage heat treatment is preferably 600°C to 750°C. The holding time at the first temperature is preferably 30 minutes to 2000 minutes, more preferably 180 minutes to 1440 minutes. The second temperature of the two-stage heat treatment is preferably 650°C to 850°C. The holding time at the second temperature is preferably 30 minutes to 600 minutes, more preferably 60 minutes to 300 minutes.

[0037] In one-stage heat treatment, the nucleation step and the crystal growth step are carried out continuously at a single temperature. Typically, the temperature is raised to a predetermined heat treatment temperature, and after reaching the heat treatment temperature, the temperature is maintained for a certain period of time, and then the temperature is lowered. When heat treatment is carried out at a single temperature, the heat treatment temperature is preferably 600°C to 800°C, more preferably 630°C to 770°C. The holding time at the heat treatment temperature is preferably 30 minutes to 500 minutes, more preferably 60 minutes to 400 minutes.

[0038] A molded body may be produced from the crystallized glass by, for example, grinding and polishing, and then processed into a thin plate. The molded body processed into a thin plate may then be formed into a shape suitable for use as a housing or the like.

[0039] (Strengthening Method) The crystallized glass may be strengthened by various strengthening methods to form a compressive stress layer on the surface.

[0040] One method for strengthening crystallized glass to form a compressive stress layer on the surface is chemical strengthening, in which an alkali component present in the surface layer of the crystallized glass is subjected to an exchange reaction with an alkali component having a larger ionic radius, thereby forming a compressive stress layer on the surface layer.

[0041] The chemical strengthening method can be carried out, for example, by the following steps: The glass-ceramics is treated with a salt containing potassium or sodium, such as potassium nitrate (KNO 3 ), sodium nitrate (NaNO 3 The steel sheet is brought into contact with or immersed in a molten salt of the metal salt, a mixed salt thereof, or a composite salt thereof. The treatment of bringing the steel sheet into contact with or immersing the steel sheet in a molten salt (chemical strengthening treatment) may be carried out in one step or two steps.

[0042] The strengthening method for the crystallized glass is not limited to chemical strengthening, and may be, for example, thermal strengthening or ion implantation.

[0046] (2) Production of Crystallized Glass Next, the mixed raw materials were placed in a platinum crucible and melted in an electric furnace at 1400°C to 1500°C for 4 to 24 hours depending on the melting difficulty of the glass composition. The molten glass was stirred to homogenize it, and after lowering the temperature, it was poured into a mold and slowly cooled to produce base glass. The obtained base glass was subjected to heat treatment at the temperature and time shown in Table 1 to produce crystallized glass.

[0047] (3) Confirmation of Crystalline Phase The crystallized glasses of Examples 1 to 5 were analyzed by EDX and confirmed to be composed of granular crystalline phases of oxides composed of Si, Al, Ti, Mg, and Fe. 3 or its solid solution, MgAl 2 Si 2 O 8 or a solid solution thereof, SiO 2 or its solid solution, MgAl 2 O 4 or its solid solution, MgTi 2 O 4 or its solid solution, Mg 2 TiO 5 or its solid solution, Mg 2 SiO 4 or a solid solution thereof, and FeAl 2 O 4 or a solid solution thereof.

[0048] (4) Chromaticity For the crystallized glasses of Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, the reflectance spectra, including specular reflection, in a direction at an angle of 8° relative to the normal to the sample surface were measured using a spectrophotometer (Konica Minolta, CM-26dG). The sample thickness was 4 mm. From the obtained reflectance spectra, the chromaticity L*, a*, and b* were calculated using CIE illuminant D65 at an observer angle of 10°.

[0049] (5) Color Difference Raw materials were prepared in the same manner as in "(1) Preparation of Raw Materials" so as to have the compositions of Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 shown in Table 1. The raw materials were then treated with oxides containing impurity elements (Cr, 2 O 3 or Ni 2O) was added in amounts to give the concentrations shown in Table 2, and the mixture was melted in an electric furnace at 1400°C to 1500°C for 4 to 24 hours. The subsequent steps were the same as in "(2) Production of Crystallized Glass," to obtain crystallized glass. The chromaticity difference (ΔE) of the obtained crystallized glass before and after the addition of impurities was calculated in accordance with the color difference in the L*a*b* color system specified in JIS Z 8781-6. First, the crystallized glass of Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 after the addition of impurities was measured for L*', a*', and b*' using the same method as in "(4) Chromaticity." Next, for each crystallized glass, ΔE was calculated based on the following formulas (1) to (4) using the chromaticity L*, a*, and b* before the addition of impurities (chromaticity obtained by the method described in "(4) Chromaticity"), and the chromaticity L*', a*', and b*' after the addition of impurities. ΔE = {(ΔL*) 2 +(Δa*) 2 +(Δb*) 2} 1/2 ...(1) ΔL*=L*-L*'...(2) Δa*=a*-a*'...(3) Δb*=b*-b*'...(4)

[0050]

[0051]

[0052] From Table 2, it can be seen that the crystallized glass of the present invention having a specific composition has a smaller ΔE than the crystallized glass of the comparative example, and the color change before and after the addition of impurities is suppressed. 2 O 3 and Ni 2 O) is a typical component that has a significant effect on the color tone of glass.
