Abstract

Embodiments of thermally and chemically strengthened glass-based articles are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the glass-based articles may include a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface defining a thickness (t), a first CS region comprising a concentration of a metal oxide that is both non-zero and varies along a portion of the thickness, and a second CS region being substantially free of the metal oxide of the first CS region, the second CS region extending from the first surface to a depth of compression of about 0.17·t or greater. In one or more embodiments, the first surface is flat to 100 μm total indicator run-out (TIR) along any 50 mm or less profile of the first surface. Methods of strengthening glass sheets are also disclosed, along with consumer electronic products, laminates and vehicles including the same are also disclosed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A chemically strengthened glass-based article comprising:
a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface defining a thickness (t); and
a thermally strengthened region,
wherein the first surface is flat to 100 μm total indicator run-out (TIR) along any 50 mm or less profile of the first surface,
wherein the glass-based article comprises a glass having a softening temperature, expressed in units of ° C., of T soft and an annealing temperature, expressed in units of ° C., of T anneal , and a surface fictive temperature measured on the first surface of the glass sheet represented by Tfs, when expressed in units of ° C. and a non-dimensional surface fictive temperature parameter θs given by (Tfs−T anneal )/(T soft −T anneal ), wherein the parameter θs is in the range of from 0.20 to 0.9.

2. The glass-based article of claim 1 , wherein the glass-based article comprises a glass sheet having a length, expressed in millimeters, of l, and a width, expressed in millimeters, of w, wherein t is less than l and less than w, and l and w are each at least 10 mm.

3. The glass-based article of claim 2 , wherein either one or both l and w are at least 40 mm.

4. The glass-based article of claim 1 , wherein the ratio l/t and the ratio w/t each are equal to 10/1 or greater.

5. The glass-based article of claim 1 , wherein the first surface has a roughness in the range of from 0.2 to 1.5 nm Ra over an area of 10×10 μm.

6. The glass-based article of claim 1 , wherein t is less than 2 mm.

7. The glass-based article of claim 1 , wherein t is about 1.2 mm or less.

8. The glass-based article of claim 1 , wherein the surface fictive temperature measured on the first surface is at least 50° C. above a glass transition temperature of the glass.

9. The glass-based article of claim 8 , wherein the surface fictive temperature measured on the first surface is at least 75° C. above a glass transition temperature of the glass.

10. The glass-based article of claim 1 , further comprising a chemically strengthened region that extends from the first surface to a DOL, wherein the thermally strengthened region extends from the first surface to a DOC, wherein the DOC is greater than the DOL and the DOC is greater than or equal to about 0.17t.

11. The glass-based article of claim 1 , further comprising a surface CS of about 1 GPa or greater and a maximum CT of about 75 MPa or greater.

12. The glass-based article of claim 11 , wherein the maximum CT is about 80 MPa or greater.

13. The glass-based article of claim 1 , wherein the glass-based article comprises a composition including P 2 O 5 .

14. The glass-based article of claim 1 , wherein the glass-based article comprises a composition including Li 2 O.

15. The glass-based article of claim 1 , wherein the glass-based article comprises a stored tensile energy of about 6 J/m 2 or greater.

16. The glass-based article of claim 15 , wherein the stored tensile energy is about 10 J/m 2 or greater.

17. The glass-based article of claim 1 , further comprising a CS value at the DOL of about 150 MPa or greater.

18. The glass-based article of claim 1 , wherein the DOL is about 10 micrometers or greater.

19. The glass-based article of claim 1 , further exhibiting a Knoop scratch threshold of about 8 N or greater.

20. The glass-based article of claim 1 , further exhibiting a Vicker's crack initiation threshold of about 120 N or greater.
