Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for producing a chemically strengthened glass, the method including, performing a chemical strengthening treatment including the following steps (1) to (3) to a glass having a specific composition, (1) a step of bringing the glass into contact with an inorganic salt composition including 70 mass % or more of potassium nitrate to perform ion exchange; (2) a step of bringing the glass having been ion-exchanged in step (1) into contact with an inorganic salt composition including 50 mass % or more of sodium nitrate to perform ion exchange; and (3) a step of bringing the glass having been ion-exchanged in step (2) into contact with an inorganic salt composition including 70 mass % or more of potassium nitrate to perform ion exchange.

Claims (2)

1. A chemically strengthened glass having a thickness of 0.2 mm to 1.1 mm, a surface compressive stress value of 664 MPa or more, having a depth of a compressive stress layer of 60 μm or more, and comprising, in mole percentage based on oxides, from 50 to 80% of SiO 2 , from 2 to 25% of Al 2 O 3 , from 0.1 to 20% of Li 2 O, from 0.1 to 18% of Na 2 O, from 0 to 10% of K 2 O, from 0 to 15% of MgO, from 0 to 5% of CaO, from 0 to 5% of P 2 O 5 , from 0 to 6% of B 2 O 3 , from 0 to 5% of Y 2 O 3 , and from 0 to 5% of ZrO 2 , wherein, the glass has a compressive stress value at a depth of 20 [μm] from a surface of the glass of 160×t+12 [MPa] or more, and a compressive stress value at a depth of 40 [μm] from the surface of the glass of 167×t−21 [MPa] or more, wherein t is a thickness [mm] of the glass.

2. A chemically strengthened glass, having a thickness of 0.2 mm to 1.1 mm, a surface compressive stress value of 664 MPa or more, having a depth of a compressive stress layer of 60 μm or more, and comprising, in mole percentage based on oxides, from 50 to 80% of SiO 2 , from 2 to 25% of Al 2 O 3 , from 0.1 to 20% of Li 2 O, from 0.1 to 18% of Na 2 O, from 0 to 10% of K 2 O, from 0 to 15% of MgO, from 0 to 5% of CaO, from 0 to 5% of P 2 O 5 , from 0 to 6% of B 2 O 3 , from 0 to 5% of Y 2 O 3 , and from 0 to 5% of ZrO 2 , wherein, the glass has an average value of a compressive stress at a depth of 20 to 40 [μm] from a surface of the glass of 164×t-5 [MPa] or more, wherein t is a thickness [mm] of the glass.
