    Abstract: A glass-based article including a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface defining a thickness (t) of about 3 millimeters or less (e.g., about 1 millimeter or less), and a stress profile, wherein all points of the stress profile between a thickness range from about 0·t up to 0.3·t and from greater than about 0.7·t to t, comprise a tangent with a slope having an absolute value greater than about 0.1 MPa/micrometer. In some embodiments, the glass-based article includes a non-zero metal oxide concentration that varies along at least a portion of the thickness (e.g., 0·t to about 0.3·t) and a maximum central tension of less than about 71.5/√(t) (MPa). In some embodiments, the concentration of metal oxide or alkali metal oxide decreases from the first surface to a point between the first surface and the second surface and increases from the point to the second surface. The concentration of the metal oxide may be about 0.05 mol % or greater or about 0.5 mol % or greater throughout the thickness. Methods for forming such glass-based articles are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a glass article having a glass composition. The glass composition includes SiO2 in an amount of from 63 mol % to 75 mol %, Al2O3 in an amount of from 7 mol % to 13 mol %, R2O in an amount of from 13 mol % to 24 mol %, P2O5 in an amount of from 0.1 mol % to 1.2 mol %, and a water content β-OH of 0.1 abs/mm to 0.5 abs/mm. Further, the glass composition includes at least one of MgO or ZnO. MgO is present in a range from 0 mol % to 7 mol %, and ZnO is present in a range from 0 mol % to 7 mol %. The glass article has an anneal point and a softening point, and the relationship of (anneal point+softening point)/2 is less than 685° C.

    Abstract: A glass composition includes greater than or equal to 45 mol % to less than or equal to 60 mol % SiO2; greater than or equal to 15 mol % to less than or equal to 25 mol % Al2O3; greater than or equal to 10 mol % to less than or equal to 20 mol % Li2O; greater than or equal to 0 mol % to less than or equal to 7.5 mol % Na2O; greater than or equal to 0 mol % to less than or equal to 5 mol % K2O; greater than or equal to 7 mol % to less than or equal to 13 mol % P2O5, and greater than or equal to 0 mol % to less than or equal to 4 mol % TiO2. The glass composition may have a liquidus temperature of less than or equal to 1300° C. and an inter-diffusion coefficient greater than or equal to 4000 μm2/hour. The glass composition is chemically strengthenable. The glass composition may be used in a glass-based article or a consumer electronic product.
