つつある今日においてはより強いガラスが要望されてい
る。Conventionally, high-strength glass has been produced using physical strengthening methods in which the glass is heated to around its softening temperature and then rapidly cooled with air or liquid to create compressive stress on the glass surface, as well as nitric acid at a temperature below the glass transition point (for example, 400°C). Power IJ (KN

i Immerse glass in OH7% (7) to form Ma+ ions and K
Ti ion! Exchange 1. There are a chemical strengthening method in which internal stress is generated on the glass surface using K ions with a large ionic radius, a surface crystallization method, and a combination of these methods. Although each of these can increase the strength by 6 to 20 times that of unstrengthened glass, this is still insufficient depending on the application. Particularly in fields where thinning is strongly desired, such as cover glass for watches, the current strength of glass has reached its limit, and the uses of glass are expanding further, and glass is being used as an alternative to metals, ceramics, etc. Nowadays, stronger glass is required.

スを得ることはできなかった。However, as mentioned above, no matter which tempering treatment method or glass is used, conventional high-strength glass cannot be used in any of the following aspects, such as the depth of the strengthening treatment, the strength of the internal stress generated, and the possible range of ion exchange. Due to this limitation, it was not possible to obtain the high-strength glass that is needed today.

体より軟化点の低いガラスが適当である。Next, let's talk about the members that make up the present invention. First, regarding glass, we will talk about soda glass, shelf silicate glass,
The type of glass is not particularly limited, such as silica glass, but soda-based glass is effective both in terms of strength and cost. Regarding inorganic compounds consisting of one or more of Li, Na, K, Rb, and Os, there are nitrates, sulfates, carbonates, phosphates, chlorides, heptadides, etc. of each element. As long as it is an inorganic compound, the type is not particularly important, but potassium nitrate is effective in terms of temperature, workability, economical efficiency, etc. Next, regarding encapsulation, although it differs depending on the type of inorganic compound used, melting point, etc., iron rust such as stainless steel and soft iron, or ion-exchangeable material in the composition, and internal glass material to be treated. Glasses with lower softening points are suitable.

ある。An inert gas such as argon is effective. In order to make the effects of the present invention more noticeable and to promote them, it is necessary to take advantage of the synergistic effect in combination with temperature. The temperature varies depending on the type of glass used, the type of inorganic compound, the encapsulation material, etc., but a temperature of 100°C or higher, below the transition point of the glass body to be treated, is effective.If the temperature is lower than this, sufficient ion exchange will not occur. If it does not occur, or if it is too high, the stress will be relaxed. The pressure is several hundred
A value of t/- or more, preferably 10001&/d or more is effective.
