Finally, a compressive stress layer is formed on the two outer surfaces of the glass, and a compressive stress is formed on the surface of the ordinary glass. The strengthened glass first offsets the surface compressive stress when it is subjected to external forces, thereby improving the bearing capacity and enhancing the glass's own resistance to wind pressure, cold and hot, impact and so on. The compressive stress layer is the “surface compressive stress layer” of chemically strengthened glass.

[0086] After chemically strengthening each small sample with a size of 100 mm×80 mm in various Examples and Comparative Examples, a single-point falling ball test is performed with a falling ball tester MK-9968. A 130 g steel ball is used for single-point multiple falling ball test, with 15 cm of base height, 3 times of center-point falling ball, rising 5 cm for each time until the glass is broken. 20 pieces of each sample are tested, and the detailed test results are shown in Table 5.

TABLE-US-00005 TABLE 5 Single-point falling ball height (cm), Number average value of 20 pieces Example A1 70 Example A2 65 Example A3 60 Example A4 55 Example A5 55 Example A6 50 Example A7 45 Example A8 45 Example A9 45 Example A10 40 Comparative Example A11 20 Comparative Example A12 25 Comparative Example A13 25 Comparative Example A14 30 Comparative Example A15 30 Comparative Example A16 30 Comparative Example A17 35 Comparative Example A18 25 Comparative Example A19 25 Comparative Example A20 30 Comparative Example A21 20

[0087] It can be seen from Table 5 that, in case that the chemical strengthening conditions and the glass thickness are basically the same, compared with the Comparative Examples, the single-point falling ball height of the glass plate in the Examples of the present application may increase by 50%-250%.

[0088] It can be seen from Table 4 and Table 5 that, in case that the chemical strengthening conditions and the glass thickness are basically the same, the surface compressive stress (CS), the depth of stress layer (DOL), and the single-point falling ball height of the glass plates with various components shown in Examples A1-A10 according to the present application is higher than that of the glass plates in the Comparative Examples. Although the Comparative Examples A11-A21 are strengthened with different chemical strengthening conditions, the surface compressive stress (CS) still satisfies the stress relationship given by the present application, which directly proves the rationality of this relationship. Furthermore, although the Comparative Examples A11-A21 satisfy the stress relationship, the contents of their components deviate from the corresponding range values given by the present application; and it can be seen from the falling ball test that the impact resistance ofthe glass plates ofthe Comparative Examples A1-A21 is relatively poor.

[0089] 2. The specific preparation process of the glass plates of another group of Examples and Comparative Examples is as follows: firstly mixing various components with the ratios of each component in the above Table 1; at the same time, putting the mixed raw material into a sealed bag, mixing well in the sealed bag, and pouring it into a platinum crucible to melt; then putting the platinum crucible into a GWL-1600TS high-temperature melting furnace to melt at a temperature of 1620° C.; pouring the molten glass into a metal mold, and putting the glass together with the metal mold into the annealing furnace for precision annealing and cooling at a temperature of 630° C., and remaining at this temperature for 30 minutes; then naturally cooling the temperature to 40° C., a glass with the thickness of Table 6 is obtained. Then the glass is cut and ground into small samples of 50 mm×50 mm, 20 pieces for each type of glass sample. Finally, chemical strengthening is performed in molten salt of potassium nitrate according to the chemical strengthening conditions in Table 6, the glass plates of Examples B1-B10 and Comparative Examples B11-B21 are respectively obtained.

[0090] When 2.0 mm≤T≤4.0 mm, and 4 h≤t≤150 h, CS satisfies the following relationship (2):

0.003t.sup.2−2.167t+858≤CS≤−61.4Ln(t)+1060; [0091] wherein T is the thickness of the glass plate and has the unit of mm; t is the chemical strengthening time and has the unit of h; CS is the surface compressive stress generated by chemical strengthening and has the unit of MPa; and Ln is the natural logarithm.

[0092] Table 7 shows the first and last values of the range of the surface compressive stress (CS) for the glass within the thickness range calculated according to the above relational formula (2) after chemically strengthening for the following time.

[0093] After chemically strengthening each small sample with a size of 50 mm×50 mm in various Examples and Comparative Examples, the surface compressive stress (CS) of each sample is measured with a chemical stress tester FSM-6000; and the detailed test results are shown in Table 8.

TABLE-US-00008 TABLE 8 Surface compressive Depth of compressive stress (CS) (MPa), stress layer (DOL) average value (μm), average value Number of 20 pieces of 20 pieces Example B1 660 166 Example B2 672 158 Example B3 698 147 Example B4 710 145 Example B5 742 137 Example B6 801 121 Example B7 831 102 Example B8 872 76 Example B9 902 58 Example B10 915 62 Comparative Example B11 610 142 Comparative Example B12 680 134 Comparative Example B13 782 110 Comparative Example B14 802 91 Comparative Example B15 856 59 Comparative Example B16 624 132 Comparative Example B17 650 112 Comparative Example B18 791 96 Comparative Example B19 815 86 Comparative Example B20 840 62 Comparative Example B21 875 48

[0094] It can be seen from Table 8 that, in case that the chemical strengthening conditions and glass thickness are basically the same, compared with the Comparative Examples, the surface compressive stress (CS) of the glass plates shown in Examples B1-B10 of the present application may be increased by up to 8.5%, and the depth of compressive stress layer (DOL) may be increased by up to 32%. Although the glass plates of the Comparative Examples B11-B21 are strengthened with different chemical strengthening conditions, the surface compressive stress (CS) still satisfies the stress relationship given by the present application.

[0095] It can also be seen from the comparison of the Examples and Comparative Examples in Table 8 that, the chemical strengthening temperature and time are important factors affecting the strength of the glass. The higher the chemical strengthening temperature and the longer the strengthening time, the stronger the strength of the glass and the better the impact resistance will be. In actual production, it is necessary to select the most suitable chemical strengthening conditions on the basis of time cost and process cost, so as to obtain chemically strengthened glass with excellent performance.

[0096] 3. Various components with the ratios of each component in Group 8 in the above Table 1 are mixed, at the same time, putting the mixed raw material into a sealed bag, mixing well in the sealed bag, and pouring it into a platinum crucible to melt; pouring the molten glass into a metal mold, and putting the glass together with the metal mold into the annealing furnace for precision annealing and cooling; then a glass with the thickness of Table 9 is obtained. Then the glass is cut and ground into small samples of 50 mm×50 mm and 145 mm×80 mm; wherein 20 pieces of the glass with a size of 50 mm×50 mm for each Example are produced, and 5 pieces of the glass with a size of 145 mm×80 mm for each Example are produced. Finally, chemical strengthening is respectively performed in molten salt of potassium nitrate according to the chemical strengthening conditions in Table 9.

[0098] After chemically strengthening each of the small glass samples with a size of 50 mm×50 mm in Examples 8-1 to 8-12, the surface compressive stress (CS) of each sample is measured with a chemical stress tester FSM-6000, and the detailed test results are shown in Table 11.

[0099] After chemically strengthening each small sample with a size of 145 mm×80 mm in various Examples, a single-point falling ball test is performed with a falling ball tester MK-9968. A 512 g steel ball is used for single-point multiple falling ball test, with 60 cm of base height, performing center-point falling ball until the glass is broken. 5 pieces of each sample are tested, finally recording the form of the glass and the size of maximum fragment of the broken glass. The detailed test results are shown in Table 12, as well as FIGS. 1-2.

[0100] It can be seen from Table 12 and FIGS. 1-2 that, for the broken glass having the components of the present application, the size of the glass strip or powder particle decreases with the increase of the ion exchange time (t), and the size of the glass fragments may be controlled in the range of: 10-30 mm in length and 1-3 mm in width.
