Abstract

A glass composition includes from 55.0 mol % to 75.0 mol % SiO 2 ; from 8.0 mol % to 20.0 mol % Al 2 O 3 ; from 3.0 mol % to 15.0 mol % Li 2 O; from 5.0 mol % to 15.0 mol % Na 2 O; and less than or equal to 1.5 mol % K 2 O. The glass composition has the following relationships: Al 2 O 3 +Li 2 O is greater than 22.5 mol %, R 2 O+RO is greater than or equal to 18.0 mol %, R 2 O/Al 2 O 3 is greater than or equal to 1.06, SiO 2 +Al 2 O 3 +B 2 O 3 +P 2 O 5 is greater than or equal to 78.0 mol %, and (SiO 2 +Al 2 O 3 +B 2 O 3 +P 2 O 5 )/Li 2 O is greater than or equal to 8.0. The glass composition may be used in a glass article or a consumer electronic product.
