Delamination of Glass

The document discusses microphase separation and delamination in glass. It summarizes that (1) sodium borosilicate glasses can phase separate depending on heat treatment and time within an immiscibility dome on a phase diagram; (2) no phase separation is expected if the glass is treated above the immiscibility dome with rapid cooling. The phase separation results in a sodium borate-rich phase and a silica-rich phase. Upon cooling, tensions between the phases can cause delamination, where dissolution of the sodium borate-rich phase causes swelling and separation of the silica-rich phase. Introducing surface compression through chemical strengthening can reduce delamination.

CONCLUSIONS
(1) Type 1-Sodium borosilicate glasses can
phase separate depending upon heat
treatment and time within the immiscibility
dome.
(2)No phase separation is expected if any
process treats glass above immsicibility
dome with rapid cooling thereafter.
(3)Generally a high thermal expansion, low
durability sodium borate-rich phase and a
low thermal expansion, high durability
silica-rich phase separate.
(4) The cooling of the microstructure causes the
sodium borate-rich phase to be in tension and
the silica-rich phase to be in compression.
(5) Dissolution of the sodium borate-rich phase
then causes swelling of the silica-rich phase and
hence delamination.
(6) Introduction of a high surface compression can
reduce the opportunity to delaminate. (Chemical
strengthening..)
