    Abstract: Chemically strengthened glass articles exhibiting superior resistance to damage when dropped onto an abrasive surface. The strengthened glass article has a stress profile in which the compressive and tensile stresses within the article vary as a function of the thickness t of the glass article. The stress profile has a first region extending from the surface of the glass article to a depth d1 into the glass, wherein d1≤0.025t or ≤20 μm and has a maximum compressive stress of at least about 280 MPa at the surface, a second region extending from a depth of at least d1 to a second depth d2 and having a local compressive stress maximum, and a third region extending from a third depth d3 in the glass to a depth of compression DOC, wherein d2≤d3 and DOC≤0.15t. A method of strengthening a glass article to provide resistance to damage when dropped is also provided.

    Abstract: A non-frangible glass article strengthened by a dual or two-step ion exchange (IOX) process, where the first IOX step leads to a depth of compressive layer FSM_DOL>0.1·t or, in some embodiments, FSM_DOL>0.15·t, where t is the thickness of the glass, is provided. The glass article has a compressive stress CS1 after the first IOX step at the surface of from 100 MPa to 400 MPa or, in some embodiments, from 150 MPa to 300 MPa. The first IOX step is followed by a second IOX step, leading to a “spike” compressive stress CS2 after the second IOX step at the surface of greater than 500 MPa or, in some embodiments, 700 MPa. The width of the spike generated by the second IOX is between 1 μm and 30 μm, or between 8 μm and 15 μm, using the criteria where the magnitude (absolute value) of the slope of the spike is higher than 20 MPa/μm.

    Abstract: A method of chemically strengthening a glass. The method includes heating an ion exchange solution to a temperature less than about 360° C., and contacting the glass and the strengthening solution at the temperature for a duration from about 0.5 hours to about 24 hours. The ion exchange solution includes a primary nitrate and at least one monovalent or divalent cation nitrate component in an amount from about 1 wt. % to about 10 wt. %.
