Automotive glass compositions, articles and hybrid laminates
Embodiments of glass articles comprising an anneal point (° C.) and a softening point (° C.), and the relationship of (anneal point+softening point)/2 in a range from about 625° C. to about 725° C. are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the glass articles include a glass composition including SiO 2 in an amount in a range from about 63 mol % to about 75 mol %; Al 2 O 3 in an amount in a range from about 7 mol % to about 13 mol %; R 2 O in an amount from about 13 mol % to about 24 mol %; P 2 O 5 in an amount in a range from about 0 mol % to about 3 mol %, and one or both of MgO and ZnO. Laminates including such glass articles, and methods for making such laminates are also disclosed.
