Local Analysis of Birefringence in Ion-Exchange Strengthened Glass

  • Published:
Glass and Ceramics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

The local Abrio method of birefringence assessment was applied for the first time to strengthened glasses, and it was used to investigate the micro-stress distribution in float glass subjected to ion-exchange strengthening. It is demonstrated that the thickness of the stressed layer can be determined with great precision, and a correlation is found between the depth of the stressed layer and the penetration depth of potassium cations in the course of ion exchange.
