Chemically prestressable aluminosilicate glass and products made therefrom

Abstract

The chemically prestressable glass having a low bubble count and bubble size has the following composition in mol %, based on a total amount of oxides present, SiO.sub.2 from 63.0 to 67.5 mol %, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 from 9.5 to 12.0 mol %, Na.sub.2 O from 8.5 to 15.5 mol %, K.sub.2 O from 2.5 to 4.0 mol %, MgO from 3.0 to 9.0 mol %, sum of CaO+SrO+BaO+ZnO from 0 to 2.5 mol %, TiO.sub.2 from 0.5 to 1.5 mol %, CeO.sub.2 from 0.02 to 0.5 mol %, As.sub.2 O.sub.3 from 0.02 to 0.35 mol %, SnO.sub.2 from 0. to 1.0 mol %, and F.sub.2 from 0.05 to 2.6 mol %, wherein the molar ratio ›SiO.sub.2 !/›Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 ! is 5.3 to 6.85, the molar ratio ›Na.sub.2 O!/›K.sub.2 O! is 3.0 to 5.6, the molar ratio ›Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 !/›K.sub.2 O! is 2.8 to 3.6 and the molar ratio ›Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 !/›TiO.sub.2 +CeO.sub.2 ! is 7.6 to 18.5, but, when arsenic-free, SnO.sub.2 is from 0.02 to 1.0 mol % and F.sub.2 is from greater than 0.5 to 2.6 mol %. The invention also includes a safety glass and a hard disk for information storage made from this chemically prestressable glass.
