Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022049203A1] The invention relates to methods of increasing the strength, especially the flexural strength, of a glass article produced from a glass material. The method includes the step of heating the glass article to a first temperature above the transformation temperature of the glass material, the step of shock cooling the glass article to a second temperature below the transformation temperature of the glass material, and the step of performing an ion exchange process at the second temperature.
