  • Patent number: 11718554
    Abstract: A group of glass compositions in the Li2O—Al2O3—SiO2—B2O3 family that can be chemically strengthened in single or multiple ion exchange baths containing at least one of NaNO3 and KNO3 for a short time (2-4 hours) to develop a deep depth of layer (DOL). In some instances, the DOL is at least 70 ?m; in others, at least about 100 ?m.
