Abstract

The present invention relates to a glass for chemical strengthening including, in mole percentage on an oxide basis: 45 to 75% of SiO 2 ; 1 to 30% of Al 2 O 3 ; 1 to 20% of Li 2 O; 0 to 5% of Y 2 O 3 ; 0 to 5% of ZrO 2 ; and 0 to 1% of TiO 2 , having a total content of one or more kinds of MgO, CaO, SrO, BaO and ZnO of 1 to 20%, having a total content of Na 2 O and K 2 O of 0 to 10%, having a total content of B 2 O 3 and P 2 O 5 of 0 to 10%, and having a value M expressed by the following expression of 1,000 or more: M=−5×[SiO 2 ]+121×[Al 2 O 3 ]+50×[Li 2 O]−35×[Na 2 O]+32×[K 2 O]+85×[MgO]+54×[CaO]−41×[Sr O]−4×[P 2 O 5 ]+218×[Y 2 O 3 ]+436×[ZrO 2 ]−1180, in which each of [SiO 2 ], [Al 2 O 3 ], [Li 2 O], [Na 2 O], [K 2 O], [MgO], [CaO], [SrO], [P 2 O 5 ], [Y 2 O 3 ], and [ZrO 2 ] designates a content of each component in mole percentage on an oxide basis.
