    Abstract: A glass substrate with modified surface regions is disclosed. The glass substrate includes an alkali-containing bulk, a first alkali-depleted region, a second alkali-depleted region, and a first ion-exchanged region. The alkali-containing bulk has a first surface and a second surface with the first and second surfaces on opposite sides. The first alkali-depleted region extends into the alkali-containing bulk from the first surface. The second alkali-depleted region extends into the alkali-containing bulk from the second surface. The first ion-exchanged region extends into the alkali-containing bulk from the first surface. The first alkali-depleted region, the second alkali-depleted region, and the first ion-exchanged region each have a substantially homogenous composition. A method of forming the glass substrate is disclosed. The method includes simultaneously forming the first alkali-depleted region and the first ion-exchanged region in the first surface. The method also includes near-simultaneously forming the second alkali-depleted region in the second surface.

    Abstract: A glass glass-ceramic composite comprises a substrate comprising an alkali-containing glass bulk, the bulk comprising Al2O3 and SiO2 and alkali, and a glass-ceramic surface layer, the surface layer comprising an alkali-depleted glass ceramic comprising Al2O3 and SiO2 with at least 5% crystalline phase by volume, wherein the alkali-depleted glass ceramic surface layer comprises a mol % Al2O3 of at least 51%. A method of preparing the composite is also disclosed.
