Abstract
Methods for chemically strengthening glass articles, e.g., glass sheets, are disclosed, in which computer-implemented techniques are employed to select the conditions, e.g., times, temperatures, and bath compositions and sizes, used in the chemical strengthening. The computer-implemented techniques can be applied to chemical-strengthening methods that employ more than one ion-diffusion treatment, e.g., more than one ion-exchange treatment or a combination of at least one ion-exchange treatment and at least one heat treatment. Through the use of the computer-implemented techniques, more precisely-controlled ion concentration profiles can be achieved in chemically-strengthened glass articles, which can improve the ultimate mechanical properties of the articles.
