Abstract

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a glass article having a glass composition. The glass composition includes SiO 2 in an amount of from 63 mol % to 75 mol %, Al 2 O 3 in an amount of from 7 mol % to 13 mol %, R 2 O in an amount of from 13 mol % to 24 mol %, P 2 O 5 in an amount of from 0.1 mol % to 1.2 mol %, and a water content β-OH of 0.1 abs/mm to 0.5 abs/mm. Further, the glass composition includes at least one of MgO or ZnO. MgO is present in a range from 0 mol % to 7 mol %, and ZnO is present in a range from 0 mol % to 7 mol %. The glass article has an anneal point and a softening point, and the relationship of (anneal point+softening point)/2 is less than 685° C.

Claims (22)

1. A glass article comprising a glass composition, the glass composition comprising:

SiO 2 in an amount in a range from 63 mol % to 75 mol %;

Al 2 O 3 in an amount in a range from 7 mol % to 13 mol %;

a total amount of alkali metal oxides (R 2 O) in an amount in a range from 13 mol % to 24 mol %, wherein R 2 O—Al 2 O 3 is from 8 mol % to 12 mol %, wherein Li 2 O, if present, is present in an amount less than 0.001 mol %;

P 2 O 5 in an amount in a range from 0.1 mol % to 1.2 mol %;

a water content β-OH in the range of 0.1 abs/mm to 0.5 abs/mm; and

at least one of MgO or ZnO, wherein the amount of MgO is in a range from 0 mol % to 7 mol % and the amount of ZnO is in a range from 0 mol % to 7 mol %,

wherein the glass article comprises an anneal point (° C.) and a softening point (° C.), and the relationship of (anneal point+softening point)/2 is less than 665° C.

2. The glass article of claim 1 , wherein the glass composition further comprises:

MgO in an amount in a range of from 2 mol % to 4 mol %; and

CaO in an amount in a range from 0.01 to 0.1 mol %.

3. The glass article of claim 1 , wherein the glass article contains substantially no parakeldyshite defects.

4. The glass article of claim 1 , wherein the glass composition further comprises B 2 O 3 in an amount in a range from 0.15 mol % to 1.2 mol %.

5. The glass article of claim 1 , wherein the glass composition comprises no B 2 O 3 and a water content β-OH of at least 0.2 abs/mm.

6. The glass article of claim 1 , wherein the amount of P 2 O 5 is at least 0.45 mol %.

7. The glass article of claim 1 , wherein the relationship of (anneal point+softening point)/2 is at least 645° C.

8. The glass article of claim 1 , wherein the glass article comprises a temperature (° C.) at a viscosity of 10 10 poise (T log10 ) that is in a range of 640° C. to 675° C.

9. The glass article of claim 1 , wherein the glass article comprises a temperature (° C.) at a viscosity of 10 11 poise (T log11 ) that is in a range of 600° C. to 640° C.

10. The glass article of claim 1 , wherein the glass article comprises a temperature (° C.) at a viscosity of 10 12 poise (T log12 ) that is in a range of 570° C. to 610° C.

11. The glass article of claim 1 , wherein the glass article comprises a temperature (° C.) at a viscosity of 35000 poise (T 35kP ) of no more than 1075° C.

12. The glass article of claim 1 , wherein the glass article is strengthened.

13. The glass article of claim 1 , wherein the glass article is fusion formed.
