  • Patent number: 9061931
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for treating zircon-containing forming structures, e.g., zircon isopipes, with one or more treatment glass compositions in which defect-causing reactions between the zircon of the forming structure and molten glass are suppressed at the delivery temperature of the treatment glass. The treatment compositions can be used during start-up of a forming structure, between runs of the same production glass on a given forming structure, and/or when transitioning between runs of two production glasses on a given forming structure. The treatment compositions can be used with production glasses that are ion-exchangeable.

  • Publication number: 20140227524
    Abstract: Ion exchangeable glass compositions that develop concentration profiles and stress profiles that have higher magnitudes of concentration and compressive stress profiles than those provided by the error function (erfc)-shaped compressive stress profile for similar surface concentrations of stress-inducing components such as K+ or K2O and stresses. The advantaged stress profile is the result of a glass composition that is low in K2O (or potassium) in the base glass prior to ion exchange. A glass comprising lower amounts of K+ or K2O has a stronger dependence of diffusivity on concentration, leading to a non-erfc-shaped concentration profile. Several glass compositions that contain low amounts of K+ or K2O exhibit this beneficial effect, whereas other glasses containing higher amounts of K+ or K2O do not exhibit this effect.
