Stress Relaxation in an Ion Exchanged Glass PDF

Abstract

A field assisted ion exchanged soda-lime silicate glass tubes were soaked in a molten bath of potassium nitrate at different temperatures and different times. An attempt was made to study the effect of these parameters on the residual stress profiles. The residual stress arising due to a singly and doubly ion exchange at two different temperatures was examined. The results are discussed on the basis of the stress relaxation and ionic diffusion.
