Abstract

Glass-based articles comprise stress profiles providing improved fracture resistance. The glass-based articles herein provide high fracture resistance after multiple drops.

Claims (19)

1. A glass-based article, comprising:

a glass-based substrate comprising opposing first and second surfaces defining a substrate thickness (t), wherein t is greater than or equal to 0.4 mm and less than or equal to 1.3 mm; and

a stress profile comprising:

a depth of compression (DOC) that is greater than or equal to 0.15t;

a stress slope at DOC that is 1.5 MPa/micron or less;

an absolute value of stress integral in one compression zone that is in the range of from 4 MPa*mm to 20 MPa*mm;

a compressive stress at a knee (CS k ) of greater than or equal to 165 MPa; and

the DOC is located at a depth of greater than 150 microns.

2. The glass-based article of claim 1 , comprising a peak compressive stress (CS) greater than or equal to 1000 MPa.

3. The glass-based article of claim 1 , comprising a compressive stress at a knee (CS k ) greater than or equal to 170 MPa.

4. The glass-based article of claim 1 , wherein the DOC is located at a depth of 160 microns or deeper.

5. The glass-based article of claim 1 , wherein a central composition at the center of the glass-based article comprises lithium and a Li 2 O/Na 2 O molar ratio of greater than or equal to 0.65 and less than or equal to 1.2.

6. The glass-based article of claim 1 , wherein t is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm and less than or equal to 0.8 mm.

7. The glass-based article of claim 1 , wherein a spike depth of layer (DOL sp ) is greater than or equal to 7 micrometers and less than or equal to 11 micrometers.

8. A consumer electronic product comprising:

a housing comprising a front surface, a back surface, and side surfaces;

electrical components provided at least partially within the housing, the electrical components comprising at least a controller, a memory, and a display, the display being provided at or adjacent the front surface of the housing; and

a cover disposed over the display;

wherein at least a portion of at least one of the housing and the cover comprises the glass-based article of one of claim 1 .
