Strengthened glass articles with separation features
A method of forming a strengthened glass article is provided. The method includes providing a strengthened glass article. The strengthened glass article is in the form of a container including a sidewall having an exterior surface and an interior surface that encloses an interior volume. The sidewall has an exterior strengthened surface layer that includes the exterior surface, an interior strengthened surface layer that includes the interior surface and a central layer between the exterior strengthened surface layer and the interior strengthened surface layer that is under a tensile stress. A laser-induced intended line of separation is formed in the central layer at a predetermined depth between the exterior strengthened surface layer and the interior strengthened surface layer by irradiating the sidewall with a laser without separating the glass article.
Textured glass component for an electronic device enclosure
The disclosure provides textured glass components as well as electronic device cover assemblies and enclosures which include the textured glass components. In some cases, a protruding portion of the glass component includes a textured region provided over a camera assembly of the electronic device. One or more openings may be provided in the textured region. The textured region may be configured to provide a translucent or hazy appearance to the electronic device while providing a desirable “feel” to the electronic device and level of cleanability.

GLASS LAMINATE ARTICLES
A method of manufacturing a strengthened glass article includes forming a glass-to-glass laminate by fusing clad and core glasses, where the clad has greater high-temperature coefficient of thermal expansion (HTCTE) than the core but a lesser low-temperature coefficient of thermal expansion (LTCTE). The method includes cooling the laminate to impart stresses through contraction mismatch between the clad and core, where stresses in the laminate from HTCTE differences at least partially offset stresses in the laminate from LTCTE. After the cooling, the method includes modifying geometry of the laminate, then relaxing at least some of the stresses in the glass-to-glass laminate from differences in the HTCTE.
