Patent number: 10612129Abstract: Provided herein are ion-implanted glass based articles with improved flaw suppression properties. The ion-implanted glass based articles generally have a final indent fracture threshold (IFT) load of at least 650 grams, and/or a scratch threshold force of at least 10 N, which represents at least 1.25-fold enhancement compared to the glass based article prior to ion-implantation. Factors affecting the efficacy of the ion implantation process can include the IFT load of the starting glass or glass ceramic substrate (native IFT load), ion type, ion dose, implant energy, beam current, and glass temperature.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2017Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: CORNING INCORPORATEDInventors: Sarko Cherekdjian, Benedict Osobomen Egboiyi, William Brashear Mattingly, III, Michael Yoshiya Nishimoto, Toshihiko Ono, Prakash Chandra Panda, Trevor Edward Wilantewicz

Patent number: 9284211Abstract: Methods provide for post processing at least one flexible glass sheet with the step of providing the glass sheet with an initial shape. The method then further includes the step of flexing the glass sheet into a secondary shape from the initial shape. The method then further includes the step of post processing the glass sheet while biasing the glass sheet into the secondary shape. The method then still further includes the step of releasing the glass sheet to at least partially return to the initial shape.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2014Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: CORNING INCORPORATEDInventors: Jianqiang Gu, Jean-Marc Martin Gerard Jouanno, William Brashear Mattingly, III, Wenchao Wang, Yoshiki Yamashita, Rui Zhang
