Abstract:
Crystallizable glasses, glass-ceramics, IXable glass-ceramics, and IX glass-ceramics are disclosed. The glass-ceramics exhibit β-spodumene ss as the predominant crystalline phase. These glasses and glass-ceramics, in mole %, include: 60-75 SiO2; 10-18 Al2O3; 5-14 Li2O; and 4.5 B2O3. The glass-ceramics also have a Vickers initiation crack threshold of at least about 25 kgf.
Abstract:
Methods are disclosed for producing chemically-strengthened, borosilicate, glass articles. The articles are produced from batch components which are selected, at least in part, based on measured and/or estimated values for the coordination state of B2O3 in the glass. In this way, such chemical-strengthening properties as mutual diffusivity, maximum surface compressive stress, and/or indentation threshold can be improved.
