技术领域technical field

Although glass has high theoretical strength, the strength is greatly reduced due to damage. Therefore, for cover glass requiring strength, chemically strengthened glass in which a compressive stress layer is formed on the glass surface by ion exchange or the like is used.

伴随着对平板显示器装置的轻量化和薄型化的要求,需要罩玻璃自身也变薄。因此,对于罩玻璃,为了满足该目的而对表面要求进一步的强度。With the demand for weight reduction and thinning of flat panel display devices, the cover glass itself needs to be thinned. Therefore, for cover glass, further strength is required for the surface in order to meet this purpose.

作为提高玻璃强度的方法之一,在专利文献1中公开了利用含有特定盐的无机盐进行化学强化后进行酸处理和碱处理的方法。As one of the methods for improving glass strength,Patent Document 1 discloses a method of chemically strengthening with an inorganic salt containing a specific salt and then performing acid treatment and alkali treatment.

化学强化处理通过在熔融盐浴内将玻璃浸渍于无机盐的熔融盐中,将玻璃中的金属离子(Na离子)置换为熔融盐中的离子半径大的金属离子(K离子)而进行。通过该离子交换,能够改变玻璃表面的组成,形成玻璃表面高密度化的压缩应力层20[图1(a)~(b)]。通过该玻璃表面的高密度化而产生压缩应力,因此,能够将玻璃强化。The chemical strengthening treatment is performed by immersing glass in a molten salt of inorganic salt in a molten salt bath, and substituting metal ions (Na ions) in the glass with metal ions (K ions) having a large ionic radius in the molten salt. By this ion exchange, the composition of the glass surface can be changed, and thecompressive stress layer 20 in which the glass surface is densified can be formed [ FIGS. 1( a ) to ( b )]. The compressive stress is generated by the densification of the glass surface, so that the glass can be strengthened.

本发明的方法中的化学强化工序中,在进行化学强化时,通过使用制成10质量%水溶液时的氢离子指数(pH)为7.5~10.5且含有硝酸钠和硝酸钾中的至少一者的无机盐进行化学强化处理,从而利用无机盐中的OH-将玻璃的Si-O-Si键适度地切断,形成压缩应力层的表层改性而低密度化的低密度层10[图1(b)~(c)]。In the chemical strengthening step in the method of the present invention, when chemical strengthening is performed, a hydrogen ion index (pH) when a 10 mass % aqueous solution is used is 7.5 to 10.5 and contains at least one of sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate. The inorganic salt is chemically strengthened, so that the Si-O-Si bond of the glass is appropriately cut by theOH- in the inorganic salt, and the surface layer of the compressive stress layer is modified and the low-density layer 10 is formed [Fig. 1(b). ) to (c)].

应予说明,实际上,化学强化玻璃的密度从存在于玻璃中心的中间层30(本体)的外缘向压缩应力层表面缓慢地高密度化,因此,在中间层30与压缩应力层20之间没有密度急剧变化的明确的边界。在此,中间层是指存在于玻璃中心部且被压缩应力层夹持的层。该中间层与压缩应力层不同,是不进行离子交换的层。In fact, the density of the chemically strengthened glass gradually increases from the outer edge of the intermediate layer 30 (main body) existing in the center of the glass toward the surface of the compressive stress layer. Therefore, between theintermediate layer 30 and thecompressive stress layer 20 There is no clear boundary between sharp changes in density. Here, the intermediate layer refers to a layer that exists in the center of the glass and is sandwiched by a compressive stress layer. Unlike the compressive stress layer, this intermediate layer is a layer that does not undergo ion exchange.

化学强化工序具体而言可如下进行。在化学强化工序中,将玻璃预热,将熔融盐调整到化学强化的处理温度。接着,将已预热的玻璃在熔融盐中浸渍规定时间后,从熔融盐中提起玻璃,放冷。应予说明,优选在化学强化处理之前根据用途对玻璃进行形状加工,例如切断、端面加工和开孔加工等机械加工。Specifically, the chemical strengthening step can be performed as follows. In a chemical strengthening process, glass is preheated, and molten salt is adjusted to the processing temperature of chemical strengthening. Next, after immersing the preheated glass in molten salt for a predetermined time, the glass is lifted from the molten salt and left to cool. In addition, it is preferable to subject glass to shape processing, for example, mechanical processing, such as cutting, end surface processing, and drilling processing, according to the application before the chemical strengthening process.

玻璃的预热温度依赖于在熔融盐中浸渍的温度,一般优选为100℃以上。The preheating temperature of the glass depends on the temperature at which it is immersed in molten salt, but is generally preferably 100°C or higher.

从得到具备较深的DOC的化学强化玻璃的观点考虑,进行化学强化的温度优选为400℃以上,更优选为450℃以上,进一步优选为470℃以上。进行化学强化的温度的上限没有特别限制,典型而言,优选为被强化玻璃的应变点(通常500~600℃)以下。From the viewpoint of obtaining a chemically strengthened glass having a deep DOC, the temperature at which chemical strengthening is performed is preferably 400°C or higher, more preferably 450°C or higher, and further preferably 470°C or higher. The upper limit of the temperature at which chemical strengthening is performed is not particularly limited, but typically, it is preferably not more than the strain point (usually 500 to 600° C.) of the tempered glass.

玻璃在熔融盐中的浸渍时间取决于化学强化温度,但从得到具备较深的DOC的化学强化玻璃的观点考虑,优选为2小时以上,更优选为4小时以上,进一步优选为8小时以上。上限没有特别限制,通常为48小时以下,如果为24小时以下,则从生产率的观点考虑更优选。The immersion time of the glass in the molten salt depends on the chemical strengthening temperature, but from the viewpoint of obtaining a chemically strengthened glass having a deep DOC, it is preferably 2 hours or more, more preferably 4 hours or more, and even more preferably 8 hours or more. The upper limit is not particularly limited, but it is usually 48 hours or less, and it is more preferable from the viewpoint of productivity if it is 24 hours or less.

从对玻璃赋予充分的强度的观点考虑,化学强化工序后的形成于玻璃的表层的压缩应力层的深度(DOC)优选为35μm以上,更优选为45μm以上,进一步优选为55μm以上。From the viewpoint of imparting sufficient strength to the glass, the depth (DOC) of the compressive stress layer formed on the surface layer of the glass after the chemical strengthening step is preferably 35 μm or more, more preferably 45 μm or more, and still more preferably 55 μm or more.

通过本发明的方法制造的化学强化玻璃的压缩应力值优选为100MPa以上,更优选为200MPa以上,进一步优选为300MPa以上。另外,上限没有特别限制,典型而言为1200MPa以下。The compressive stress value of the chemically strengthened glass produced by the method of the present invention is preferably 100 MPa or more, more preferably 200 MPa or more, and further preferably 300 MPa or more. In addition, the upper limit is not particularly limited, but is typically 1200 MPa or less.

压缩应力层的深度可使用EPMA(electron probe micro analyzer)或表面应力计(例如,折原制作所制造的FSM-6000)等进行测定。The depth of the compressive stress layer can be measured using an EPMA (electron probe micro analyzer) or a surface stress meter (for example, FSM-6000 manufactured by Orihara Corporation).

低密度层通过后述的酸处理工序而除去,因此,低密度层越厚越容易除去玻璃表面。因此,从玻璃表面除去量的观点考虑,低密度层的厚度优选为10nm以上,更优选为20nm以上。低密度层的厚度可通过化学强化工序的熔融盐中的钠浓度、温度或时间等进行控制。The low-density layer is removed by the acid treatment step described later, and therefore, the thicker the low-density layer, the easier it is to remove the glass surface. Therefore, the thickness of the low-density layer is preferably 10 nm or more, and more preferably 20 nm or more, from the viewpoint of the amount of removal from the glass surface. The thickness of the low-density layer can be controlled by the sodium concentration, temperature, time, etc. in the molten salt of the chemical strengthening process.

通过酸处理工序除去低密度层后,进行碱处理,由此,能够进一步除去低密度层。After removing the low-density layer by the acid treatment step, the low-density layer can be further removed by performing an alkali treatment.

从玻璃表面除去性的观点考虑,低密度层的密度优选低于比经离子交换的压缩应力层深的区域(本体)的密度。From the viewpoint of glass surface removability, the density of the low-density layer is preferably lower than the density of a region (bulk) deeper than the ion-exchanged compressive stress layer.

低密度层的厚度由通过X射线反射率法(X-ray-Reflectometry,XRR)测得的周期(Δθ)求出。低密度层的密度由通过XRR测得的临界角(θc)求出。应予说明,简单地通过利用扫描式电子显微镜(SEM)观察玻璃的截面,也能够确认低密度层的形成和层的厚度。The thickness of the low-density layer is determined from the period (Δθ) measured by X-ray-Reflectometry (XRR). The density of the low-density layer was determined from the critical angle (θc) measured by XRR. In addition, the formation of a low density layer and the thickness of a layer can also be confirmed simply by observing the cross section of glass with a scanning electron microscope (SEM).

在化学强化工序中,也可与利用制成10质量%水溶液时的氢离子指数(pH)为7.5~10.5且含有硝酸钠和硝酸钾中的至少一者的无机盐进行的上述化学强化处理组合,将上述的化学强化处理和变更了无机盐的组成、氢离子指数、化学强化的温度和化学强化的时间的条件中的至少一个条件的化学强化处理工序在上述的化学强化处理工序的前后进行多次。In the chemical strengthening step, the chemical strengthening treatment may be combined with the above-mentioned chemical strengthening treatment using an inorganic salt having a hydrogen ion index (pH) of 7.5 to 10.5 and containing at least one of sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate when prepared as a 10 mass % aqueous solution. The chemical strengthening treatment process described above and the chemical strengthening treatment process in which at least one of the conditions of the composition of the inorganic salt, the hydrogen ion index, the temperature for chemical strengthening, and the time for chemical strengthening is changed are performed before and after the chemical strengthening treatment process. repeatedly.

在化学强化工序后,使用工业用水、离子交换水等进行玻璃的清洗。其中,优选离子交换水。清洗的条件也根据使用的清洗液而不同,在使用离子交换水的情况下,如果在0~100℃进行清洗,则从完全地除去附着的盐的方面考虑优选。After the chemical strengthening process, the glass is washed using industrial water, ion-exchanged water, or the like. Among them, ion-exchanged water is preferable. The cleaning conditions also vary depending on the cleaning liquid to be used. In the case of using ion-exchanged water, cleaning at 0 to 100° C. is preferable in terms of completely removing the adhering salt.

(酸处理工序)(acid treatment process)

在酸处理工序中,对在化学强化工序后进行了清洗的玻璃进一步进行酸处理。玻璃的酸处理通过使玻璃与氢离子指数(pH)小于7.0的酸性溶液中接触而进行。In the acid treatment step, the glass washed after the chemical strengthening step is further subjected to acid treatment. The acid treatment of the glass is carried out by contacting the glass with an acidic solution having a hydrogen ion index (pH) of less than 7.0.

酸处理中使用的溶液只要为酸性就没有特别限制,只要pH小于7.0即可,所使用的酸可以为弱酸,也可以为强酸。具体而言,优选盐酸、硝酸、硫酸、磷酸、乙酸、草酸、碳酸或柠檬酸等酸。这些酸可以单独使用,也可以组合使用多种。The solution used for the acid treatment is not particularly limited as long as it is acidic, and the acid to be used may be a weak acid or a strong acid as long as the pH is less than 7.0. Specifically, acids such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, carbonic acid, or citric acid are preferable. These acids may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

进行酸处理的温度也根据使用的酸的种类、浓度、时间而不同,优选100℃以下。另外,从容易除去低密度层的观点考虑,优选20℃以上。进行酸处理的时间虽然也根据使用的酸的种类、浓度、温度而不同,但从生产率的方面考虑,优选10秒~5小时,更优选1分钟~2小时。The temperature at which the acid treatment is performed also varies depending on the type, concentration, and time of the acid used, but is preferably 100° C. or lower. In addition, from the viewpoint of easy removal of the low density layer, it is preferably 20°C or higher. The time for performing the acid treatment varies depending on the type, concentration, and temperature of the acid to be used, but from the viewpoint of productivity, it is preferably 10 seconds to 5 hours, and more preferably 1 minute to 2 hours.

进行酸处理的溶液的浓度虽然根据使用的酸的种类、时间、温度而不同,但优选容器腐蚀的顾虑小的浓度,具体而言,优选0.1质量%~20质量%。The concentration of the solution for acid treatment varies depending on the type of acid used, time, and temperature, but is preferably a concentration with little concern for corrosion of the container, and specifically, is preferably 0.1% by mass to 20% by mass.

作为酸处理的条件,具体而言,例如可举出使化学强化工序后的玻璃与优选35~75℃的0.1质量%~10质量%硝酸水溶液接触1~15分钟的条件。As a condition of an acid treatment, for example, the conditions which contact the glass after a chemical strengthening process with the 0.1 mass % - 10 mass % nitric acid aqueous solution preferably at 35-75 degreeC are mentioned for 1 to 15 minutes.

通过上述酸处理,使玻璃表面的低密度化加速,露出低密度层的一部分或全部被除去的表层[图1(c)和(d)]。由此,可得到面强度显著提高的化学强化玻璃。进而,通过除去低密度层,存在于玻璃表面的损伤也同时被除去,认为在该方面也有助于提高强度。By the above-mentioned acid treatment, the dedensification of the glass surface is accelerated, and the surface layer from which a part or all of the low density layer has been removed is exposed [ FIGS. 1( c ) and ( d )]. Thereby, the chemically strengthened glass whose surface strength is remarkably improved can be obtained. Furthermore, by removing the low density layer, the damage existing on the glass surface is also removed at the same time, and it is considered that this also contributes to the improvement of the strength.

(碱处理工序)(alkali treatment step)

在本发明的方法中,可以接着酸处理后进行碱处理。通过进行碱处理,与仅酸处理的情况相比,能够增加低密度层的除去量而进一步提高面强度。In the method of the present invention, alkali treatment may be performed following acid treatment. By performing the alkali treatment, the removal amount of the low-density layer can be increased, and the surface strength can be further improved as compared with the case of the acid treatment alone.

碱处理中使用的溶液只要为碱性就没有特别限制,只要pH超过7.0即可,可以使用弱碱,也可以使用强碱。具体而言,优选氢氧化钠、氢氧化钾、碳酸钾或碳酸钠等碱。这些碱可以单独使用,也可以组合使用多种。The solution used for the alkali treatment is not particularly limited as long as the pH exceeds 7.0, and a weak base or a strong base may be used. Specifically, alkalis, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, or sodium carbonate, are preferable. These bases may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

进行碱处理的温度也根据使用的碱的种类、浓度、时间而不同,但优选为0~100℃,更优选为10~80℃,特别优选为20~60℃。如果为该温度范围,则没有玻璃腐蚀的顾虑,因此优选。The temperature at which the alkali treatment is performed also varies depending on the type, concentration, and time of the base used, but is preferably 0 to 100°C, more preferably 10 to 80°C, and particularly preferably 20 to 60°C. If it is this temperature range, since there is no concern of glass corrosion, it is preferable.

进行碱处理的时间虽然也根据使用的碱的种类、浓度、温度而不同,但从生产率的方面考虑,优选为10秒~5小时,更优选为1分钟~2小时。进行碱处理的溶液的浓度虽然根据使用的碱的种类、时间、温度而不同,但从玻璃表面除去性的观点考虑,优选为0.1质量%~20质量%。The time for performing the alkali treatment also varies depending on the type, concentration, and temperature of the alkali to be used, but from the viewpoint of productivity, it is preferably 10 seconds to 5 hours, and more preferably 1 minute to 2 hours. Although the density|concentration of the solution which performs an alkali treatment changes with the kind of alkali used, time, and temperature, it is preferable that it is 0.1 mass % - 20 mass % from the viewpoint of glass surface removability.

作为碱处理的条件,具体而言,例如可举出使酸处理工序后的玻璃与优选35~75℃的0.1质量%~10%质量%氢氧化钠水溶液接触1~15分钟的条件。Specific examples of the conditions for the alkali treatment include conditions in which the glass after the acid treatment step is brought into contact with a 0.1 to 10% by mass sodium hydroxide aqueous solution preferably at 35 to 75°C for 1 to 15 minutes.

通过上述碱处理,与酸处理工序后的玻璃相比,露出低密度层被进一步除去的表层。由此,可得到面强度进一步提高的化学强化玻璃。另外,存在于玻璃表面的损伤也被进一步除去,认为在该方面也有助于进一步提高面强度。By the above-mentioned alkali treatment, the surface layer from which the low-density layer was further removed is exposed compared to the glass after the acid treatment step. Thereby, the chemically strengthened glass whose surface strength is further improved can be obtained. In addition, the damage existing on the glass surface is also removed, and it is considered that it contributes to the further improvement of the surface strength also in this respect.

应予说明,优选在上述酸处理工序与碱处理工序之间或者碱处理工序结束后具有与化学强化工序后的清洗工序同样的清洗工序。In addition, it is preferable to have the same washing|cleaning process as the washing|cleaning process after a chemical strengthening process between the said acid-treatment process and an alkali-processing process or after completion|finish of an alkali-processing process.

应予说明,被除去的低密度层的量取决于酸处理工序、以及酸处理工序和碱处理工序中的至少一者的条件。图1(d)示出低密度层10被全部除去的样态,但也可以将低密度层10的一部分除去而残留一部分。从提高强度的观点考虑,即使低密度层未被全部去除也可得到效果。It should be noted that the amount of the removed low-density layer depends on the acid treatment step and the conditions of at least one of the acid treatment step and the alkali treatment step. FIG. 1( d ) shows a state in which the low-density layer 10 is completely removed, but a part of the low-density layer 10 may be removed and a part of the low-density layer 10 may remain. From the viewpoint of improving the strength, the effect can be obtained even if the low-density layer is not completely removed.

<化学强化玻璃><Chemical Tempered Glass>

通过本发明的方法制造的化学强化玻璃的面强度可通过下述所示的球环试验进行评价。The surface strength of the chemically strengthened glass produced by the method of the present invention can be evaluated by the ball-and-ring test shown below.

(球环试验)(Ball Ring Test)

由通过球环[Ball on Ring(BOR)]试验测得的BOR强度F(N)进行评价,该球环试验是将玻璃板配置在直径30mm、接触部具有曲率半径2.5mm的圆角的由不锈钢构成的环上,在使直径10mm的由钢构成的球体与该玻璃板接触的状态下,将该球体在静负载条件下负载于该环的中心。The evaluation was performed by the BOR strength F(N) measured by the Ball on Ring (BOR) test in which a glass plate was arranged on a 30 mm diameter and a contact portion with a fillet having a 2.5 mm radius of curvature. On a ring made of stainless steel, a sphere made of steel having a diameter of 10 mm was placed in contact with the glass plate, and the sphere was loaded at the center of the ring under static load conditions.

由本发明制造的化学强化玻璃优选满足F≥1000×t2,更优选F≥1200×t2[式中,F为通过球环试验测得的BOR强度(N),t为玻璃板的板厚(mm)]。通过BOR强度F(N)为该范围,在进行薄板化时也显示优异的强度。The chemically strengthened glass produced by the present invention preferably satisfies F≥1000×t2 , more preferably F≥1200×t2 [wherein, F is the BOR strength (N) measured by the ball ring test, and t is the plate thickness of the glass plate (mm)]. When the BOR strength F(N) is in this range, it exhibits excellent strength even when thinning is performed.

图2表示用于说明球环试验的简图。球环[Ball on Ring(BOR)]试验中,在水平载置玻璃板1的状态下,使用SUS304制的加压夹具2(淬火钢,直径10mm,镜面抛光)对玻璃板1进行加压,测定玻璃板1的强度。FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram for explaining the ball-and-ring test. In the Ball on Ring (BOR) test, in the state where theglass plate 1 was placed horizontally, theglass plate 1 was pressurized using a pressing jig 2 (hardened steel,diameter 10 mm, mirror-finished) made of SUS304. The strength of theglass plate 1 was measured.

图2中,在SUS304制的承受夹具3(直径30mm,接触部的曲率R为2.5mm,接触部为淬火钢,镜面抛光)上水平设置作为样品的玻璃板1。在玻璃板1的上方设置用于对玻璃板1进行加压的加压夹具2。在本实施的形态中,从玻璃板1的上方对玻璃板1的中央区域进行加压。In FIG. 2 , aglass plate 1 serving as a sample was horizontally set on a receivingjig 3 made of SUS304 (30 mm in diameter, 2.5 mm in curvature R of the contact portion, hardened steel for the contact portion, mirror-finished). A pressurizingjig 2 for pressurizing theglass plate 1 is provided above theglass plate 1 . In this embodiment, the central region of theglass plate 1 is pressurized from above theglass plate 1 .

应予说明,试验条件如下。In addition, the test conditions are as follows.

加压夹具2的下降速度:1.0(mm/min)The descending speed of the pressing jig 2: 1.0 (mm/min)

此时,将玻璃板被破坏时的破坏负载(单位N)设为BOR强度,将该BOR强度的20次测定的平均值设为面强度F(N)。其中,在玻璃板的破坏起点离开该球体的负载点2mm以上的情况下,从用于计算平均值的数据中排除。At this time, the breaking load (unit N) at the time of breaking the glass plate was taken as the BOR strength, and the average value of 20 measurements of the BOR strength was taken as the surface strength F(N). However, when the starting point of failure of the glass plate was 2 mm or more away from the load point of the sphere, it was excluded from the data for calculating the average value.

由本发明的方法制造的化学强化玻璃的压缩应力层的深度(DOC)优选为35μm以上,更优选为45μm以上,进一步优选为55μm以上。The depth (DOC) of the compressive stress layer of the chemically strengthened glass produced by the method of the present invention is preferably 35 μm or more, more preferably 45 μm or more, and further preferably 55 μm or more.

通过酸处理工序、碱处理工序而被除去的低密度层的厚度如上所述,即使大于10nm左右,也如实施例那样为1000nm左右,因此,对于压缩应力层的深度(DOC)而言,化学强化工序中形成的深度(DOC)与酸处理工序、碱处理工序后的深度(DOC)大致相同。The thickness of the low-density layer removed by the acid treatment step and the alkali treatment step is, as described above, about 1000 nm, even if it is larger than about 10 nm, as in the example. Therefore, the depth of the compressive stress layer (DOC) is chemically The depth (DOC) formed in the strengthening step is substantially the same as the depth (DOC) after the acid treatment step and the alkali treatment step.

通过本发明的方法制造的化学强化玻璃的表面压缩应力值(CS)优选为100MPa以上,更优选为200MPa以上,进一步优选为300MPa以上。另外,上限没有特别限制,典型而言为1200MPa以下。The surface compressive stress value (CS) of the chemically strengthened glass produced by the method of the present invention is preferably 100 MPa or more, more preferably 200 MPa or more, and further preferably 300 MPa or more. In addition, the upper limit is not particularly limited, but is typically 1200 MPa or less.

压缩应力值可使用EPMA(Electron Probe Micro Analyzer)或表面应力计(例如,折原制作所制造的FSM-6000)等进行测定。压缩应力值可使用日本特开2016-142600号公报中公开的应力分布计算方法而计算。The compressive stress value can be measured using EPMA (Electron Probe Micro Analyzer) or a surface stress meter (for example, FSM-6000 manufactured by Orihara Corporation). The compressive stress value can be calculated using the stress distribution calculation method disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2016-142600.

通过本发明的方法制造的化学强化玻璃的内部拉伸应力(CT)优选为72MPa以下,更优选为62MPa以下,进一步优选为52MPa以下。另外,下限没有特别限制,典型而言为20MPa以上。测定应力分布,将该应力分布用厚度进行积分,求出CT值。The internal tensile stress (CT) of the chemically strengthened glass produced by the method of the present invention is preferably 72 MPa or less, more preferably 62 MPa or less, and further preferably 52 MPa or less. In addition, the lower limit is not particularly limited, but is typically 20 MPa or more.

Aluminosilicate glasses A to C having a plan view of 50 mm × 50 mm and the plate thicknesses shown in Tables 1 and 2 were prepared, preheated to 200 to 400°C, and then subjected to ion exchange treatment under the conditions shown in Tables 1 and 2. Then, the chemical strengthening process is performed by cooling to room temperature vicinity. The obtained chemically strengthened glass is washed with water and used for the next step. In addition, regarding the composition of an inorganic salt, except for the composition shown in Tables 1 and 2,KNO3 is 100 mass % in total. In addition, the pH of an inorganic salt is the value obtained by measuring the pH at the time of making into a 10 mass % aqueous solution with the portable pH meter D-71S by Horiba Corporation Ltd. at 25 degreeC.

(酸处理工序)(acid treatment process)

在烧杯中准备6质量%的硝酸水溶液,使用水浴进行温度调整至40℃。将上述化学强化工序中得到的玻璃在已调整的硝酸水溶液中浸渍120秒钟而进行酸处理,然后利用纯水清洗多次后,通过鼓风进行干燥。将如此得到的玻璃供于下一工序。A 6 mass % nitric acid aqueous solution was prepared in a beaker, and the temperature was adjusted to 40 degreeC using a water bath.

<评价方法><Evaluation method>

本实施例中的各种评价通过以下所示的分析方法进行。Various evaluations in this Example were performed by the analysis method shown below.

(表面除去量)(Surface removal amount)

玻璃的除去量的厚度通过利用分析用电子天平(HR-202i,AND制造)测定试剂处理(酸处理和碱处理)前后的重量,使用下式进行厚度换算而求出。The thickness of the removed amount of glass was obtained by measuring the weight before and after the reagent treatment (acid treatment and alkali treatment) with an electronic balance for analysis (HR-202i, manufactured by AND), and calculating the thickness using the following formula.

(每个单面的除去量的厚度)=[(处理前重量)﹣(处理后重量)]/(玻璃比重)/处理面积/2(Thickness of removal amount per single side)=[(weight before treatment)-(weight after treatment)]/(specific gravity of glass)/treatment area/2

此时,玻璃材料(玻璃A、玻璃B和玻璃C)的玻璃比重如下,使用这些值进行计算。At this time, the glass specific gravity of the glass materials (glass A, glass B, and glass C) is as follows, and calculation is performed using these values.

玻璃A:2.42(g/cm3)Glass A: 2.42 (g/cm3 )

玻璃B:2.48(g/cm3)Glass B: 2.48 (g/cm3 )

玻璃C:2.39(g/cm3)Glass C: 2.39 (g/cm3 )

(面强度)(surface strength)

玻璃面强度通过球环试验而测得。图2示出用于说明本发明中使用的球环试验的简图。在将玻璃板1(在以下的实施例中为铝硅酸盐玻璃A)水平载置的状态下,使用SUS304制的加压夹具2(淬火钢,直径10mm,镜面抛光)对玻璃板1进行加压,测定玻璃板1的强度。The glass face strength is measured by the ball and ring test. FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram for explaining the ball-and-ring test used in the present invention. In a state where the glass plate 1 (aluminosilicate glass A in the following examples) was placed horizontally, theglass plate 1 was subjected to a pressurization jig 2 (hardened steel,diameter 10 mm, mirror-finished) made of SUS304. Pressure was applied, and the strength of theglass plate 1 was measured.

图2中,在SUS304制的承受夹具3(直径30mm,接触部的曲率R为2.5mm,接触部为淬火钢,镜面抛光)上水平设置作为样品的玻璃板1。在玻璃板1的上方设置用于对玻璃板1进行加压的加压夹具2。In FIG. 2 , aglass plate 1 serving as a sample was horizontally set on a receivingjig 3 made of SUS304 (30 mm in diameter, 2.5 mm in curvature R of the contact portion, hardened steel for the contact portion, mirror-finished). A pressurizingjig 2 for pressurizing theglass plate 1 is provided above theglass plate 1 .

从由实施例和比较例得到的玻璃板1的上方对玻璃板1的中央区域进行加压。应予说明,试验条件如下。The center area|region of theglass plate 1 was pressurized from the upper direction of theglass plate 1 obtained by the Example and the comparative example. In addition, the test conditions are as follows.

加压夹具2的下降速度:1.0(mm/min)The descending speed of the pressing jig 2: 1.0 (mm/min)

此时,将玻璃被破坏时的破坏负载(单位N)设为BOR强度,将该BOR强度的20次测定的平均值设为面强度F(N)。其中,在玻璃板的破坏起点离开该球体(加压夹具)的负载点2mm以上的情况下,从用于计算平均值的数据中排除。At this time, the breaking load (unit N) when the glass is broken is defined as the BOR strength, and the average value of 20 measurements of the BOR strength is defined as the surface strength F(N). However, when the starting point of failure of the glass plate was 2 mm or more away from the load point of the sphere (pressing jig), it was excluded from the data for calculating the average value.

面强度F(N)依赖于玻璃板的板厚t(mm),因此,在此,通过利用玻璃板的板厚t(mm)进行标准化(基准化)而进行比较。将利用玻璃板的板厚t(mm)进行标准化(基准化)而得的值设为a(单位N/mm2)。a值由式:a=F/t2计算。Since the surface strength F(N) depends on the plate thickness t (mm) of the glass plate, here, the comparison is performed by normalizing (standardizing) using the plate thickness t (mm) of the glass plate. The value normalized (standardized) by the plate thickness t (mm) of a glass plate is made into a (unit N/mm2 ). The value of a is calculated by the formula: a=F/t2 .

(表面压缩应力、压缩应力层的深度)(surface compressive stress, depth of compressive stress layer)

表面压缩应力值(CS)和压缩应力层的深度(DOC,单位为μm)使用折原制作所公司制造的表面应力计(FSM-6000)而测定。压缩应力值(CS)和压缩应力层的深度(DOC)使用日本特开2016-142600号公报中公开的应力分布计算方法而计算。The surface compressive stress value (CS) and the depth (DOC, in μm) of the compressive stress layer were measured using a surface stress meter (FSM-6000) manufactured by Orihara, Ltd. The compressive stress value (CS) and the depth of the compressive stress layer (DOC) were calculated using the stress distribution calculation method disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2016-142600.

(拉伸应力)(tensile stress)

拉伸应力值(CT,单位MPa)使用日本特开2016-142600号公报中公开的应力分布计算方法测定应力分布,将该应力分布用厚度进行积分而计算。The tensile stress value (CT, unit MPa) is calculated by measuring the stress distribution using the stress distribution calculation method disclosed in JP 2016-142600 A, and integrating the stress distribution with the thickness.

(研磨伤)(grinding wound)

研磨伤的有无通过利用AFM的表面观察进行辨别。在10μm×5μm区域内不存在2根以上的长度5μm以上、宽度0.1μm以上的划痕的情况下,作为在表面没有研磨伤的状态。The presence or absence of polishing scratches was discriminated by surface observation by AFM. When there are no two or more scratches with a length of 5 μm or more and a width of 0.1 μm or more in a 10 μm×5 μm area, it is assumed that there is no polishing scratch on the surface.

(外观品质)(Appearance quality)

在高亮度光源下且在成为照度100000Lux的条件下观察外观,通过下述评价基准对外观品质进行评价。图4A是表示在玻璃面内未产生白雾的状态的图,图4B是表示在玻璃面内产生白雾的状态的图。The appearance was observed under the conditions of a high-intensity light source and an illuminance of 100,000 Lux, and the appearance quality was evaluated by the following evaluation criteria.
