    摘要: A silver halide photochromic glass hasa. a clear luminous transmittance of about 90%,b. A darkened luminous transmittance at 20.degree. C. below about 25%.c. A fading rate at 20.degree. C. such that, after a five minute fading interval, the glass exhibits a percent faded luminous transmittance that is no more than the darkened luminous transmittance percentage plus 15. The glass has an R.sub.2 O--Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 --B.sub.2 O.sub.3 --SiO.sub.2 base composition, contains as additives, in percent by weight, 0.1-0.3% Ag, 0.25-1.0% Cl, 0-0.2% Br, 0.25-1.0% Cl+Br, the ratio of Ag:(Cl+Br) being 0.15-0.65, 0.003-0.015% CuO and 0.1-1.0% PbO and the total R.sub.2 O content is 8-13.5%, wherein R.sub.2 O consists of Li.sub.2 O+Na.sub.2 O +K.sub.2 O.

    摘要: This invention is concerned with glass-ceramic articles having compositions within a very narrowly-delimited area of the MgO-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 -B.sub.2 O.sub.3 -SiO.sub.2 field and having alpha-quartz and sapphirine as the principal crystal phases, resulting from nucleation through a combination of TiO.sub.2 and ZrO.sub.2. Upon contacting such articles with lithium ions at an elevated temperature, said lithium ions will replace magnesium ions on a two Li.sup.+-for-one Mg.sup..sup.+2 basis within the crystal structures, thereby providing a unitary glass-ceramic article having an integral surface layer wherein the principal crystal phase is a lithium-stuffed beta-quartz solid solution. That transformation of crystal phases results in compressive stresses being set up within the surface layer as the articles are cooled. Through the careful control of composition, crystallization treatment, and the parameters of the replacement reaction in the crystal structures, a tremendous degree of stored elastic energy can be developed within the articles such that they will demonstrate frangibility when fractured but will not exhibit undesirable spontaneous breakage and/or spalling.
