GLASS ARTICLES WITH HIGH FLEXURAL STRENGTH AND METHOD OF MAKING

A strengthened glass article has a chemically-etched edge and a compressive stress layer formed in a surface region thereof. The compressive stress layer has a compressive stress and a depth of layer. A product of the compressive stress and depth of layer is greater than 21,000 mum-MPa. A method of...

Zusammenfassung:A strengthened glass article has a chemically-etched edge and a compressive stress layer formed in a surface region thereof. The compressive stress layer has a compressive stress and a depth of layer. A product of the compressive stress and depth of layer is greater than 21,000 mum-MPa. A method of making the strengthened glass article includes creating the compressive stress layer in a glass sheet, separating the glass article from the glass sheet, and chemically etching at least one edge of the glass article.
