Definitions
- the embodiments disclosed herein relate to methods for producing ion exchanged glass, especially such glass with characteristics of moderate compressive stress, high depth of compressive layer, and/or desirable central tension.
- Glass laminates can be used as windows and glazing in architectural and vehicle or transportation applications, including automobiles, rolling stock, locomotive and airplanes. Glass laminates can also be used as glass panels in balustrades and stairs, and as decorative panels or coverings for walls, columns, elevator cabs, kitchen appliances and other applications.
- a glazing or a laminated glass structure is a transparent, semi- transparent, translucent or opaque part of a window, panel, wall, enclosure, sign or other structure.
- Common types of glazing that are used in architectural and/or vehicle applications include clear and tinted laminated glass structures .
- Conventional automotive glazing constructions may consist of two plies of 2 mm soda lime glass with a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer.
- PVB polyvinyl butyral
- These laminate constructions have certain advantages, including, low cost, and a sufficient impact resistance for automotive and other applications .
- these laminates because of their limited impact resistance and higher weight, these laminates usually exhibit poor performance characteristics, including a higher probability of breakage when struck by roadside debris, vandals and other objects of impact and lower fuel efficiencies for a respective vehicle.
- the strength of conventional glass may be enhanced by several methods, including coatings, thermal tempering, and chemical strengthening (ion exchange) .
- Thermal tempering is commonly used with thick, monolithic glass sheets, and has the advantage of creating a thick compressive layer through the glass surface, typically 20 to 25% of the overall glass thickness.
- the magnitude of the compressive stress is relatively low, typically less than 100 MPa .
- thermal tempering becomes increasingly ineffective for relatively thin glass, such as less than about 2 mm .
- IX ion exchange
- the conventional single step ion exchange processes may employ a long ion exchange step to achieve a higher depth of compressive layer (DOL)
- DOL depth of compressive layer
- CT central tension
- a 4 inch x 4 inch x 0.7 mm sheet of Corning® Gorilla Glass® will, upon fracture, exhibit undesirable fragmentation (energetic failure into a large number of small pieces) when a long single step ion exchange process (8 hours at 475 °C) has been performed in pure KN0 3 .
- a DOL of about 101 ym was achieved, a relatively high CT of 65 MPa results, which was higher than the desired frangibility limit (48 MPa) of the subject glass sheet.
- a thin glass article with a layer of surface compression from ion exchange techniques which enables scratch and impact resistance.
- the glass article exhibits a relatively high depth of compressive layer (DOL), making it resistant to environmental damage.
- DOL depth of compressive layer
- the compressive stress (CS) at the glass surface is lower than in traditional ion exchanged glass, which allows the glass to pass automotive impact safety standards (such as the ECE R43 head form impact test) and is therefore suitable for automotive glazing applications.
- one or more embodiments may involve an ion exchange process for obtaining thin glass with moderate CS and high DOL, including: (i) an ion exchange step, and (ii) an anneal step.
- methods and apparatus provide for and/or result in a product by performing one or more actions, including: performing an ion exchange process by immersing a glass sheet into a molten salt bath at one or more first temperatures for a first period of time such that ions within the glass sheet proximate to a surface thereof are exchanged for larger ions from the molten salt bath, thereby producing: (i) an initial compressive stress (iCS) at the surface of the glass sheet, (ii) an initial depth of compressive layer (iDOL) into the glass sheet, and (iii) an initial central tension (iCT) within the glass sheet.
- iCS initial compressive stress
- iDOL initial depth of compressive layer
- iCT initial central tension
- the actions may further include annealing the glass sheet, after the ion exchange process has been completed, by elevating the glass sheet to one or more second temperatures for a second period of time such that at least one of the initial compressive stress (iCS), the initial depth of compressive layer (iDOL), and the initial central tension (iCT) are modified.

- the actions may further provide that after the ion exchange process, the initial compressive stress (iCS) exceeds a predetermined value, and after the annealing process the initial compressive stress (iCS) is reduced to a final compressive stress (fCS) which is at or below the predetermined value.
- the actions may further provide that after the ion exchange process, the initial depth of compressive layer (iDOL) is below a predetermined value, and after the annealing process the initial depth of compressive layer (iDOL) is increased to a final depth of compressive layer (fDOL) which is at or above the predetermined value.
- the actions may further provide that after the ion exchange process, the initial central tension (iCT) exceeds a predetermined value, and after the annealing process the initial central tension (iCT) is reduced to a final central tension (fCT) which is at or below the predetermined value.
- the actions may further provide that the initial compressive stress (iCS) is at or greater than about 500 MPa, and the final compressive stress (fCS) is at or less than about 400 MPa, such as less than about 350 MPa, or less than about 300 MPa.

- FIG. 6 is a perspective view of additional embodiments of the present disclosure.
- FIG. 7 is a graph illustrating retained strength data of some embodiments of the present disclosure.
- FIG. 1 a flow diagram illustrating one or more process steps that may be carried out in accordance with one or more embodiments disclosed herein.
- the embodiments herein involve the application of one or more novel processes for producing a relatively thin glass sheet (on the order of about 2 mm or less) having certain characteristics, such as relatively moderate compressive stress (CS), relatively high depth of compressive layer (DOL) , and/or moderate central tension (CT) .
- the process begins with preparing a glass sheet that is capable of ion exchange (step 100) . Details concerning the properties of the glass sheet as concerns ion exchange will be discussed later herein.
- the glass sheet is subject to an ion exchange process (step 102), and thereafter the glass sheet is subject to an anneal process (step 104) .
- the ion exchange process 102 may involve at least one of: (i) subjecting the glass sheet to a molten salt bath including KNO3, preferably relatively pure KNO3, (ii) one or more first temperatures within the range of about 400 - 500 °C, and (iii) a first time period within the range of about 4- 24 hours, such as about 8 hours. It is noted that other salt bath compositions are possible and would be within the skill level of an artisan to consider such alternatives.
- the ion exchange process will produce: (i) an initial compressive stress (iCS) at the surface of the glass sheet, (ii) an initial depth of compressive layer (iDOL) into the glass sheet, and (iii) an initial central tension (iCT) within the glass sheet.
- the initial compressive stress (iCS) will likely exceed a predetermined (or desired) value, such as being at or greater than about 500 MPa, and will typically reach 600 MPa or higher, and may even reach 1000 MPa or higher in some glasses and under some processing profiles.
- the initial depth of compressive layer (iDOL) will likely be below a predetermined (or desired) value, such as being at or less than about 75 ym or even lower in some glasses and under some processing profiles.
- the initial central tension (iCT) will likely exceed a predetermined (or desired) value, such as exceeding a chosen frangibility limit of the glass sheet, which may be at or exceeding about 40 MPa, or more particularly at or exceeding about 48 MPa in some glasses.
- the initial compressive stress (iCS) may exceed a desired value, the initial depth of compressive layer (iDOL) may be below a desired value, and/or the initial central tension (iCT) may exceed a desired value, may lead to some undesirable characteristics in a final product made using the glass sheet. For example, if the initial compressive stress (iCS) exceeds a desired value (reaching for example, 1000 MPa) , then facture of the glass under certain circumstances might not occur. Although such may be counterintuitive, in some circumstances one may wish for the glass sheet to break, such as in an automotive glass application where the glass must break at a certain impact load to prevent inj ury .
- the initial depth of compressive layer (iDOL) is below a desired value, then under certain circumstances the glass sheet may break unexpectedly and under undesirable circumstances.
- typical ion exchange processes result in the initial depth of compressive layer (iDOL) being no more than about 70-75 ym, which may be less than the depth of scratches, pits, dings, etc., that may develop in the glass sheet during use.
- abrasive materials such as silica sand, flying debris, etc.
- the glass sheet may break unexpectedly and under undesirable circumstances.
- a desired value such as reaching or exceeding a chosen frangibility limit of the glass
- the glass sheet may break unexpectedly and under undesirable circumstances.
- a 4 inch x 4 inch x 0.7 mm sheet of Corning® Gorilla Glass® exhibits performance characteristics in which undesirable fragmentation (energetic failure into a large number of small pieces when broken) occurs when a long single step ion exchange process (8 hours at 475 °C) has been performed in pure KN0 3 .
- a DOL of about 101 ym was achieved, a relatively high CT of 65 MPa resulted, which was higher than the chosen frangibility limit (48 MPa) of the subject glass sheet .
- the glass sheet is subject to the annealing process 104 by elevating the glass sheet to one or more second temperatures for a second period of time.
- the annealing process 104 may include at least one of: (i) that the process is carried out in an air environment; (ii) that the one or more second temperatures are within the range of about 400 - 500 °C, and (iii) that the second time period is within the range of about 4-24 hours, such as about 8 hours.
- the annealing process 104 causes at least one of the initial compressive stress (iCS) , the initial depth of compressive layer (iDOL) , and the initial central tension (iCT) to be modified .
- the initial compressive stress (iCS) is reduced to a final compressive stress (fCS) which is at or below the predetermined value.
- the initial compressive stress (iCS) may be at or greater than about 500 MPa, but the final compressive stress (fCS) may be at or less than about 400 MPa, 350 MPa, or 300 MPa.
- the target for the final compressive stress (fCS) will be a function of glass thickness because in thicker glass a lower fCS will often be desirable, and in thinner glass a higher fCS may be tolerable.
- the initial depth of compressive layer (iDOL) is increased to a final depth of compressive layer (fDOL) which is at or above the predetermined value.
- the initial depth of compressive layer (iDOL) may be at or less than about 75 ym
- the final depth of compressive layer (fDOL) may be at or above about 80 ym or 90 ym, such as 100 ym or more.
- the initial central tension (iCT) may be reduced to a final central tension (fCT) which is at or below the predetermined value.
- the initial central tension (iCT) may be at or above a chosen frangibility limit of the glass sheet (such as between about 40-48 MPa) , and the final central tension (fCT) is below the chosen frangibility limit of the glass sheet.
- FIG. 2 is a graph illustrating changes in a potassium profile in a glass sheet.
- the glass sheet was a 4 inch x 4 inch x 0.7 mm sheet of Corning® Gorilla Glass®, which was subject to ion exchange in a molten salt bath of KN0 3 at 460 °C for 6 hours, followed by an anneal in air at 455 °C for 6 hours.
- the plot labeled A illustrates a simulation of the potassium profile in the glass sheet after ion exchange, but before the anneal process.
- the plot labeled B illustrates a simulation of the potassium profile in the glass sheet after the anneal process.
- the potassium profiles are illustrated as concentrations (normalized units) versus the diffusion depth in ym. Notably, there is a marked reduction in surface concentration (with corresponding reduction in compressive stress) and increase in diffusion depth after the anneal process .
- FIG. 3 is a graph illustrating changes in the compressive stress (CS) of the surfaces of a number of glass sheets subject to differing anneal conditions. The glass sheets were each 4 inch x 4 inch x 0.7 mm in dimension formed from Corning® Gorilla Glass®.
- Each sheet was subject to ion exchange in a molten salt bath of KNO3 at 460 °C for 6 hours, followed by annealing in air at varying temperatures for 6 hours .
- the various anneal temperatures were 350 °C, 375 °C, 400 °C, and 420 °C.
- Each glass sheet started with an initial compressive stress (iCS) of about 760 MPa just after the ion exchange process. During the annealing process, however, each glass sheet exhibited a lowering of the compressive stress as a function of time and temperature, yielding a final compressive stress (fCS) significantly below the iCS .
- iCS initial compressive stress
- FIG. 4 is a graph illustrating changes in the fracturing load for numerous glass sheets that have been subject to ion exchange followed by annealing.
- the glass sheets were each 4 inch x 4 inch x 0.7 mm in dimension formed from Corning® Gorilla Glass®. Each sheet was subject to ion exchange in a molten salt bath of KNO3 at 465 °C for 8 hours, followed by annealing in air at 460 °C for 5.5 hours. The glass sheets were subject to an abraded ring-on-ring failure load.
- a baseline is illustrated by the plot labeled A illustrating the breakage characteristics of ten as-drawn glass sheets.
- the plot A shows a mean fracture load of 7.144 kg, a standard deviation of 0.4355, an AD-value of 0.335, and a P-value of 0.430.
- twelve glass sheets were tested and, as illustrated in the plot labeled C, found to exhibit a mean fracture load of 111.3 kg, a standard deviation of 8.713, an AD-value of 0.321, and P-value of 0.482.
- the conditions of each process step are adjusted based on the desired compressive stress (CS) at the glass surface, the desired depth of compressive layer (DOL) , and the desired central tension (CT) .
- the time and temperature are chosen based on known experimental response models to reach a certain DOL.
- the time and temperature of the annealing step are chosen to achieve the desired final values of the compressive stress (CS), the depth of compressive layer (DOL) , and the central tension (CT) . Since air anneal processes are, in general, less costly than ion exchange processes, due to simpler capital equipment and reduced consumable costs, the respective time and temperature parameters of the ion exchange versus anneal can be balanced to optimize throughput and cost.
- a 4 inch x 4 inch x 0.7 mm glass sheet of Corning® Gorilla Glass® (Code 2318) was subject to ion exchange in a molten salt bath of 100% KN0 3 at 460 °C for 6 hours, followed by annealing in air at 455 °C for 6 hours.
- the glass sheet After ion exchange but before annealing, the glass sheet exhibited an initial compressive stress (iCS) of about 620 MPa and an initial depth of compressive layer (iDOL) of about 71.5 ym.
- the iDOL was lower than would be desired in a final article, however, in accordance with the embodiments discussed herein it was known that the DOL would increase during the anneal process.
- the temperature of the ion exchange process was chosen to reach a target for the iDOL in a reasonable time for manufacturing throughput, while staying below 480 °C to limit breakdown of the chemical bath.
- depth of compressive layer (DOL) may be measured from the glass index, such as using a FSM-6000 or equivalent.
- the so-called "true DOL" for physical performance defined as the depth at which the internal stress changes from compression to tension, will likely be shallower for most if not all glasses.
- the glass sheet After ion exchange but before annealing, the glass sheet exhibited an initial compressive stress (iCS) that was lower than desired in the final product, and which was lower than would be achieved in glass sheets ion exchanged to shallower iDOLs .
- iCS initial compressive stress
- the iCS was still significant, i.e., about 620 MPa in the example.
- the temperature of the ion exchange process was chosen to reach a target for the iDOL, but such choice also affected the iCS, and therefore it is noted that such choice may be a consideration in setting process parameters.
- the glass sheet After ion exchange but before annealing, the glass sheet exhibited a relatively high initial central tension (iCT) , which was higher than desired in the final article, however it was understood that the CT would decrease during the anneal process.
- the iCT was about 56 MPa in the example.
- a high CT exceeding the chosen frangibility limit of the glass
- the piece count in broken glass is proportional to CT 4 , so a high CT may be undesirable.
- the critical CT for high piece count fragmentation varies with glass thickness.
- CT central tension
- the post ion exchange annealing process serves to increase the iDOL, while lowering the iCS and iCT.
- the final compression stress (fCS) was about 227 MPa
- the final depth of compressive layer (fDOL) was about 100 ym
- the final central tension (CT) was 42 MPa.
- the time of the annealing process was made equal to the ion exchange period to balance the manufacturing throughput conditions .
- the temperature was chosen to achieve a final depth of compressive layer (fDOL) of about 100 ym, and a final central tension (fCT) of less than about 48 MPa. The particular temperature may be estimated through simulation or trial and error.
- the final compressive stress (fCS) remained higher than that of bare or thermally tempered glass, and the resulting fDOL was greater than the depth of flaws typically found in some applications, such as auto glazing. Thus, if a flaw penetrates the fDOL, the low fCT should prevent undesirable fragmentation of the glass, which could obscure vision or release glass chips. The reduction in fCS lowers the load at which the glass will break to a desired level.
- the respective laminated structures were subject to automotive impact safety standard testing, i.e., ECE (UN Economic Commission for Europe) R43 headform impact testing.
- ECE European Economic Commission for Europe
- the test includes dropping a 10 Kg wooden headform from a height of 1.5 meters onto each laminated structure.
- the laminated structure In order to pass the test, the laminated structure must yield and break displaying numerous circular cracks centered approximately on the point of impact. Due to the high strength (the high iCS) of the laminated structure in which the annealing process was not performed, the structure failed to break within limits during the test.
- Each of the five laminated structures subject to the annealing process fractured within specified limits and passed the regulatory test.
- the processes described herein permit the formation of a thin glass article with a layer of surface compression, enabling higher retained strength and impact resistance over non-strengthened glass.
- the final compressive stress at the glass surface (fCS) is lower than in traditional ion exchange, which allows the glass to pass maximum strength and frangibility limits in applications where this is desirable.
- the glass also retains a high final depth of compressive layer (fDOL) , making it resistant to environmental damage .
