Abstract

Glass-based articles that include a compressive stress layer extending from a surface of the glass-based article to a depth of compression are formed by exposing glass-based substrates to water vapor containing environments. The glass-based substrates have compositions selected to be fusion formable, to be steam strengthen able, and to avoid the formation of platinum defects during the forming process. The methods of forming the glass-based articles may include elevated pressures and/or multiple exposures to water vapor containing environments.
