A glass composition includes: from 55.0 mol % to 70.0 mol % SiO; from 12.0 mol % to 20.0 mol % AlO; from 5.0 mol % to 15.0 mol % LiO; and from 4.0 mol % to 15.0 mol % NaO. The glass composition has the following relationships −8.00 mol %≤RO+RO−AlO−BO−PO≤−1.75 mol %, 9.00≤(SiO+AlO+LiO)/NaO, and (LiO+AlO+PO)/(NaO+BO)≤3.50. The glass composition may be used in a glass article or a consumer electronic product.

Glasses with low excess modifier content

The disclosure relates to glass compositions with high coefficients of thermal expansion and low fracture toughness designed for thermal tempering. These glasses are ideally suited to produce a 'dicing' pattern when thermally tempered, even when thin (<3 mm). Disclosed glasses have high thermal expansions at low and high temperatures to produce increased temper stresses once quenched, coupled with low fracture toughness which promotes crack bifurcation and enhanced frangibility. Methods of making such glasses are also provided.

Glass-based articles that include a reduced Young's modulus layer extending from a surface of the glass-based article to a depth of layer and an optional compressive stress layer extending from a surface of the glass-based article to a depth of compression are formed by exposing glass-based substrates to water vapor containing environments. The methods of forming the glass-based articles may include elevated pressures and/or multiple exposures to water vapor containing environments. The glass-based articles may be utilized in foldable or flexible electronic devices.

Glasses with modified young's modulus profile

A glass composition includes from 60 mol % to 76 mol % SiO; from 7 mol % to 16 mol % AlO; from 0 mol % to 12 mol % BO; and from 0 mol to 14 mol % NaO.

A glass laminate article includes a core glass layer having a low temperature coefficient of thermal expansion (LTCTE) and a high temperature coefficient of thermal expansion (HTCTE): a clad glass layer laminated to a surface of the core glass layer, the clad glass layer having a low temperature coefficient of thermal expansion (LTCTE) and a high temperature coefficient of thermal expansion (HTCTE); and a thickness t.

Glass compositions and strengthened glass laminate articles comprising the same

A method of manufacturing a strengthened glass article includes forming a glass-to-glass laminate by fusing clad and core glasses, where the clad has greater high-temperature coefficient of thermal expansion (HTCTE) than the core but a lesser low-temperature coefficient of thermal expansion (LTCTE). The method includes cooling the laminate to impart stresses through contraction mismatch between the clad and core, where stresses in the laminate from HTCTE differences at least partially offset stresses in the laminate from LTCTE. After the cooling, the method includes modifying geometry of the laminate, then relaxing at least some of the stresses in the glass-to-glass laminate from differences in the HTCTE.
