Abstract:
Glass and glass ceramic compositions having a combination of lithium silicate and petalite crystalline phases along with methods of making the glass and glass ceramic compositions are described. The compositions are compatible with conventional rolling and float processes, are transparent or translucent, and have high mechanical strength and fracture resistance. Further, the compositions are able to be chemically tempered to even higher strength glass ceramics that are useful as large substrates in multiple applications.
Abstract:
Alkali boroaluminosilicate glasses with high resistance to crack initiation and damage due to sharp impact are provided. The glass compositions have melting and forming temperatures that allow forming the glass into sheets via float-based processes while still allowing for the glass to be efficiently ion exchanged. The glass compositions contain MgO, and when ion exchanged, have a Vickers indentation crack initiation load of at least about 10-15 kgf.
