Definitions

  • Glass and glass-ceramic articles such as sheets of glass, may be used for a broad range of applications. Examples of such applications include use in windows, countertops, containers (e.g., food, chemical), use as a backplane, frontplane, cover glass, etc. for a display device (e.g., tablet, cellular phone, television), use as a high-temperature substrate or support structure, or other applications.
  • a display device e.g., tablet, cellular phone, television
  • Exterior portions of some types of glass may be strengthened or arranged to have increased strength by exchanging larger for smaller ions near a surface of the glass to impart a negative tensile stress (also called compressive stress) on or near the surface.
  • the negative tensile stress is believed to limit crack initiation and/or propagation.
  • exterior portions of some types of glass may be strengthened or arranged to have increased strength by combining two types of glass. For example, by sandwiching molten glass with a higher coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between layers of molten glass with a lower CTE, positive tension in the interior glass compresses the outer layers when the glasses cool, again forming negative tensile stress on the surface to balance the positive tensile stress.
  • CTE coefficient of thermal expansion
  • Ion exchanging glass can be time-consuming and cumbersome, such as requiring chemical bathing of the glass for extended periods of time. Laminating different types of glasses directly to one another may require complicated manufacturing processes, such as involving a dual-isopipe fusion draw.
  • stress profiles of the glass or glass-ceramic articles having strengthened exterior portions thereof to mitigate cracking and damage and with sufficient strength and other properties (e.g., geometry, surface quality, transmittance of visible light, flexibility, etc.) to facilitate the various glass applications.
  • Manufacturing processes disclosed herein produce glass and glass-ceramic articles having unique stress profiles for particular structures, geometries and compositions of the glass and glass-ceramic articles.
  • glass and/or glass ceramic may be strengthened on or near the surface via ion-exchange and use of glass-glass laminates.
  • Glass and/or glass ceramic may also be strengthened on or near the surface via thermal tempering, where the glass or glass ceramic is quickly cooled from outside in, so that the exterior of the glass or glass ceramic is locked at one state and the interior cools and more slowly solidified, resulting in positive tension in the interior of the glass and/or glass ceramic balanced by negative tensile stress exterior thereto.
  • Conventional thermal tempering may be done by contact with heat sink solids or liquids, or via convective cooling with blown air.
  • Ion-exchange is typically used for strengthening of thin glass sheets because the thin articles may be too fragile or too susceptible to warping if thermally tempered by solid or liquid quenching and conventional convective cooling may be too weak to induce sufficient negative tensile stresses.
  • inventive technology of the present application allowing for strengthened glass or glass ceramic articles that have large negative tensile stresses, such as in bodies without material discontinuities, bodies that are particularly thin and/or flat and/or homogeneous.
  • Some embodiments relate to a strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article, which includes a first surface, a second surface, and a body extending therebetween.
  • the second surface is on an opposite side of the body from the first surface such that a thickness of the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article is defined as a distance between the first and second surfaces, a width of the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article is defined as a first dimension of one of the first or second surfaces orthogonal to the thickness, and a length of the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article is defined as a second dimension of one of the first or second surfaces orthogonal to both the thickness and the width.
  • the length of the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article is greater than or equal to the width.
  • At least one of the first or second surfaces has a relatively large surface area, that being at least 2500 mm 2 .
  • the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article is thin such that the width is greater than five times the thickness.
  • a stress profile of the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article is such that, at room temperature of 25° C. and standard atmospheric pressure, an interior portion of the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article is under positive tensile stress and portions of the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article exterior to and adjoining the interior portion are under negative tensile stress, where the negative tensile stress at least in part fortifies the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article by limiting initiation and/or propagation of cracks therethrough.
  • a difference in peak values of the positive and negative tensile stresses is at least 200 MPa.
  • the relatively large surface area and/or thin thickness of the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article which may limit conventional tempering processes: (a) tensile stress in the stress profile sharply transitions between the positive tensile stress of the interior portion and the negative tensile stress of the portions exterior to and adjoining the interior portion such that a rate of change of the tensile stress is at least 200 MPa divided by a distance of 500 ⁇ m and/or (b) the stress profile imparts a high fragmentation potential of the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article such that when fractured the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article shatters into particularly small granular chunks, those having an area on either the first or second surface of less than 10 mm 2 .
  • the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article not only shatters, but dices into particularly small granular chunks.
  • Composition of the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article comprises (a) an amorphous, non-crystalline solid or (b) a polycrystalline solid comprising an amorphous phase and one or more crystalline phases. Further, the composition comprises silicon dioxide.
  • composition of the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article located on at least a part of the portions of the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article exterior to and adjoining the interior portion, under the negative tensile stress is the same in terms of ion content and chemical constituency as the composition located on at least a part of the interior portion, under the positive tensile stress, such that at least some of the negative tensile stress of the stress profile is independent of a change in the composition of the strengthened glass or glass-ceramic article.
  • products are disclosed producible by the processes and apparatuses of the present disclosure, including a glass sheet thinner than 2.5 mm or, desirably, thinner than 2.0 mm and having a thermally-induced stress of the sheet sufficient to produce a number of fragments not less than 40 within an area of 50 by 50 mm of the sheet, in a fragmentation test in which an impact is applied to a predetermined position of the sheet with a hammer or a punch.
  • a process or method for strengthening a glass sheet which includes steps of (1) providing a glass sheet, the glass having a transition temperature, the sheet being above the transition temperature; and (2) cooling the sheet, by conduction more than by convection through a gas to a heat sink sufficiently to fix a thermally-induced surface compression stress, and a thermally-induced central tension stress, of the sheet.
  • Conduction is a process of heat transfer where energy is transmitted through interactions between adjacent molecules
  • convection is a process of heat transfer where energy is communicated via motion of a fluid (e.g., air), such as where heated fluid moves away from a heat source and is replaced by cooler fluid.
  • the process of this embodiment may optionally further comprise the further detail of providing a sheet having first and second sheet surfaces, wherein the step of cooling the sheet comprises using a heat sink having a first heat sink surface having apertures therein and facing the first sheet surface across a first gap and a second heat sink surface having apertures therein and facing the second sheet surface across a second gap.
  • the step of cooling the sheet may further comprise feeding the gas to the first and second gaps only through the apertures in the first and second heat sink surfaces, respectively.
  • a method for thermally conditioning an article comprising providing an article having a surface and cooling or heating a portion of the surface of the article up to and including the entire surface of the article, the portion having an area, sufficiently to complete a thermal conditioning of the article or of the portion of the surface of the article with the conduction being performed, during at least some time of said heating or cooling, at a rate of at least 450 kW per square meter of the area of the portion.
  • the conduction is performed across a gap between the portion and the heat source or heat sink, the gap having a width g, and an area A g , with the gas positioned in the gap and having a heat capacity C p and a thermal conductivity k, taken in the direction of conduction; and the method further includes providing gas to the gap, through apertures in the portion-facing surface of the heat source or the heat sink, at a mass flow rate rim of the gas of less than (2 kA g )/(gC p ), desirably less than (2 ⁇ 3)(2 kA g )/(gC p ), desirably less than even 4 ⁇ 5 or 9/10 of (2 kA g )/(gC p ).

In fact, very thin sheets, sheets at least as thin as 0.1 mm, can be treated. Specific levels of thermal stresses achieved and achievable, considered as a function of thickness and other variables, are described in further detail below.

  • the glass or glass-ceramic article is a glass ceramic
  • the glass article formed from the float process may be subjected to a ceramming process by which one or more crystalline phases are generated.
  • Down-draw processes produce glass or glass-ceramic articles having a consistent thickness that possess relatively pristine surfaces. Because the average flexural strength of the glass or glass-ceramic article is controlled by the amount and size of surface flaws, a pristine surface that has had minimal contact has a higher initial strength. When this high strength glass or glass-ceramic article is then further strengthened (e.g., chemically), the resultant strength can be higher than that of a glass or glass-ceramic article with a surface that has been lapped and polished. Down-drawn glass or glass-ceramic articles may be drawn to a thickness of less than about 2 mm. In addition, down drawn glass or glass-ceramic articles have a very flat, smooth surface that can be used in its final application without costly grinding and polishing. Where the glass or glass-ceramic article is a glass ceramic, the glass or glass-ceramic article formed from the down draw process may be subjected to a ceramming process by which one or more crystalline phases are generated.
