Methods to Mitigate Haze Induced During Ion Exchange with Carbonate Salts
3 Jun 21
A chemical ion exchange process, including: dissolving a carbonate salt in a molten salt bath disposed in a furnace and including a non-lithium non-carbonate alkali salt; immersing a lithium-containing glass-based substrate in the molten salt bath including the dissolved carbonate salt and the non-lithium non-carbonate alkali salt, where immersing the lithium-containing glass-based substrate in the molten salt bath results in an ion-exchange between the lithium-containing glass-based substrate and the molten salt bath and results in the formation of a lithium-containing carbonate salt in the molten salt bath; and reducing a concentration of the lithium-containing carbonate salt in the molten salt bath or increasing a solubility limit of the lithium-containing carbonate salt in the molten salt bath.

Methods of Characterizing Ion-exchanged Chemically Strengthened Glasses Containing Lithium
3 Jun 21
Methods of characterizing ion-exchanged chemically strengthened Li-containing glasses include: a) measuring a mode spectrum of the glass sample; b) using the mode spectrum, estimating a first contribution to the center tension associated with a spike region and estimating a second contribution to the center tension due to a deep region only, wherein the deep region is assumed to follow a power-law stress profile; and c) determining a total center tension by adding of the first and second contributions to the center tension.
