Abstract

A glass composition includes: from 55.0 mol % to 70.0 mol % SiO 2 ; from 12.0 mol % to 20.0 mol % Al 2 O 3 ; from 5.0 mol % to 15.0 mol % Li 2 O; and from 4.0 mol % to 15.0 mol % Na 2 O. The glass composition has the following relationships −8.00 mol %≤R 2 O+RO−Al 2 O 3 −B 2 O 3 −P 2 O 5 ≤−1.75 mol %, 9.00≤(SiO 2 +Al 2 O 3 +Li 2 O)/Na 2 O, and (Li 2 O+Al 2 O 3 +P 2 O 5 )/(Na 2 O+B 2 O 3 )≤3.50. The glass composition may be used in a glass article or a consumer electronic product.

Claims (41)
