(1)ガラスの表面に取り込まれたフッ素により緩和が促進され、フッ素処理された面のCS(compressive stress、表面圧縮応力)が低下する。
(2)ガラスの表面に取り込まれたフッ素によりイオン交換が阻害され、フッ素処理された面のDOL(depth of layer、圧縮応力深さ)が低下する。
(3)フッ素処理により、ガラスの脱アルカリが生じる。
(4)フッ素処理によりガラス表面の主成分が変化し、ガラス中のSiがSiF4またはH2SiF6としてガラス表面から減少するため、応力の入り方が変化する。
(5)フッ素処理により、ガラス表面からの脱水が抑制されるかあるいは水が侵入することにより、反りが低減される。
ガラスの化学強化による反りは、トップ面およびボトム面における化学強化の入り方の違いに起因する。該化学強化の入り方の違いはガラスの中の水分量の影響を多分に受ける。ガラス表層にフッ素を添加することで種々の要因によってガラスの化学強化による反りが改善されるが、ガラスに添加されるフッ素の適正量をトップ面およびボトム面における水分量の違いを考慮して下記パラメータを設定する。
0.1≦ΔF/ΔH2O…(1)
(a1)濃度が既知の標準試料および測定対象サンプルのSIMSによるフッ素濃度プロファイルを測定する[図6(a)]。
(a2)標準試料の測定結果から検量線を作成し、19F/30Siをフッ素濃度(mol%)に変換するための係数を算出する[図6(b)]。
(a3)工程(a2)で算出した係数から測定対象サンプルのフッ素濃度(mol%)を求める。深さ1~24μmのSIMSによる平均フッ素濃度(mol%)は、深さ1~24μmのフッ素濃度を積算し、前記係数である23で除した値である[図6(c)]。
前記手順(a1)~(a3)により深さ1~24μmのSIMSによる平均フッ素濃度(mol%)をガラスの厚さ方向に対向する両面について算出した値の差の絶対値がΔFとなる。
IM1=A・IP・Y・CM・α1・βM・η (式w)
IM1/IRj=(CM・α1・βM)/(CR・αj・βR)=CM/K (式x)
ここでKは元素Mの元素Rに対する相対感度因子である。
K=(CR・αj・βR)/(α1・βM) (式y)
この場合、元素Mの濃度は(式z)より求められる。
CM=K・IM1/IRj (式z)

前記手順(b1)~(b3)により深さ1~24μmのSIMSによる平均H2O濃度(mol%)をガラスの厚さ方向に対向する両面について算出した値の差の絶対値がΔH2Oとなる。
εH2O:ガラス中のH2Oのモル吸光係数 (L mol-1 cm-1)
C:ガラス中H2O濃度 (mol L-1)
l:光路長(cm)
本発明のガラス板は、横軸をガラス表面をゼロとした時の深さとし、且つ縦軸をフッ素濃度(mol%)とする二次イオン質量分析(SIMS)による深さ方向プロファイル上で、ガラス中に含まれるフッ素量が0.23mol%・μm超21mol%・μm以下であるガラス板であることが好ましい。
ガラス中に含まれるフッ素量とは、正確にはガラス板全体に含まれるフッ素原子の量であるが、フッ素処理によってフッ素がガラス中に侵入できる深さには限界があると考えられることから、実際にはガラス表面からの深さが0~30μmまでの深さ方向プロファイルを測定した際の積分値と同じ値であるとみなすことができる。
反り変位量=ΔX-ΔY
ΔX:未処理ガラス板の化学強化による反り変化量
ΔY:処理ガラス板の化学強化による反り変化量
ここで、反り変化量は、化学強化後のガラス板の反り量から、化学強化前のガラス板の反り量を減じた値である。反り変化量は、ΔX>0とする。ΔYはΔXと同方向に反る場合にΔY>0、ΔXと逆方向に反る場合はΔY<0とする。
また、ガラスがアルミノシリケートガラスの場合には、0.23mol%・μm超7mol%・μm以下であることが好ましく、0.23mol%・μm超6mol%・μm以下であることがさらに好ましい。
ここでガラスの組成の詳細については後述する。
ガラス表層にフッ素を添加することで化学強化後の反りが改善されるが、フッ素の侵入深さを考慮して下記パラメータを設定する。
1≦x…(2)
式(2)中、xはSIMSによるフッ素濃度プロファイルにおいて、任意の深さxi(μm)における傾きが下式(3)を満たす最大の深さ(μm)である。
[F(xi+0.1)-F(xi)]/0.1=-0.015…(3)
式(3)中、F(xi)は、深さxi(μm)におけるSIMSによるフッ素濃度(mol%)を示す。
[F(xi+Δx)-F(xi)]/Δx…(a)
Δxを0.1とした場合に、式(a)で表される傾きが-0.015となる最大の深さx(μm)は1以上であることが好ましく、2以上であることがより好ましく、2.8以上であることがさらに好ましく、3以上であることが特に好ましい。xが1未満であると、反りの変位に有意な差が見られない。
ガラスの化学強化による反りは、トップ面およびボトム面における化学強化の入り方の違いに起因する。ガラス表層にフッ素を添加することで種々の要因によってガラスの化学強化による反りが改善されるが、ガラスに添加されるフッ素濃度分布をトップ面における侵入深さを考慮して下記パラメータを設定する。
表層フッ素割合=F0-3/F0-30…(I)
F0-3=[フッ素濃度が大きい面における深さ0~3μmのSIMSによる平均フッ素濃度(mol%)]×3…(II)
式(I)中、F0-30はフッ素処理によりガラスに取り込まれたフッ素量であり、下式(III)により求める。
F0-30=[フッ素濃度が大きい面における深さ0~30μmのSIMSによる平均フッ素濃度(mol%)]×30…(III)
(2)ガラスをフッ素処理した後にガラスが研磨またはエッチング処理されるとガラス表面のフッ素が減少し、ガラスをフッ素処理することによる化学強化後の反り低減効果が減少する。フッ素処理により表層フッ素割合を0.4以下、特に0.3以下とし、フッ素のガラスへの侵入深さを深くすることにより、化学強化前にガラスを研磨またはエッチング処理した場合にも、フッ素処理による化学強化後におけるガラスの反り低減効果を十分に担保することができる。
(3)ガラスの一方の面をフッ素処理することにより最表面のフッ素濃度が高くなると、フッ素によって応力が一方の面だけ緩和されてしまい、CSが入りにくくなってしまうという問題がある。フッ素処理により表層フッ素割合を0.4以下、特に0.3以下とすると、最表面のフッ素濃度が高くなるのを防ぎ、ΔCS(厚み方向に対向する一方の面のCSの値と他方の面のCSの値の差)を0に近づけることが可能となるため、化学強化による反りが低減できるとともに、強度の面においても優れたガラスが得られる。
本発明において溶融ガラスを板状のガラス板に成形する方法は特に限定されず、また該ガラスは化学強化処理による強化が可能な組成を有するものである限り、種々の組成のものを使用することができる。例えば、種々の原料を適量調合し、加熱溶融した後、脱泡または攪拌などにより均質化し、周知のフロート法、ダウンドロー法(例えば、フュージョン法など)またはプレス法などによって板状に成形し、徐冷後、所望のサイズに切断し、研磨加工を施して製造される。これらの製造方法の中でも、フロート法により製造されたガラスは、特に本発明の効果である化学強化後の反り改善が発揮され易いため、好ましい。
(i)モル%で表示した組成で、SiO2を63~73%、Al2O3を0.1~5.2%、Na2Oを10~16%、K2Oを0~1.5%、MgOを5~13%及びCaOを4~10%を含むガラス
(ii)モル%で表示した組成が、SiO2を50~74%、Al2O3を1~10%、Na2Oを6~14%、K2Oを3~11%、MgOを2~15%、CaOを0~6%およびZrO2を0~5%含有し、SiO2およびAl2O3の含有量の合計が75%以下、Na2OおよびK2Oの含有量の合計が12~25%、MgOおよびCaOの含有量の合計が7~15%であるガラス
(iii)モル%で表示した組成が、SiO2を68~80%、Al2O3を4~10%、Na2Oを5~15%、K2Oを0~1%、MgOを4~15%およびZrO2を0~1%含有するガラス
(iv)モル%で表示した組成が、SiO2を67~75%、Al2O3を0~4%、Na2Oを7~15%、K2Oを1~9%、MgOを6~14%およびZrO2を0~1.5%含有し、SiO2およびAl2O3の含有量の合計が71~75%、Na2OおよびK2Oの含有量の合計が12~20%であり、CaOを含有する場合その含有量が1%未満であるガラス
ガラスリボンの少なくとも一面に対してフッ素含有流体を接触させて表面処理する場合、ガラスリボンの表面温度は600℃以上であることが好ましく、650℃超であることがより好ましい。650℃超とすることにより、得られたガラスに対して化学強化後のガラスの反り量を低減するのに十分なフッ素総接触量でフッ素含有流体の吹き付け処理を実施しやすくなる。なお、以下ではガラス板という語をガラス板およびガラスリボンを総称するものとして用いることがある。
フッ素含有流体を吹き付ける条件を、得られたガラスに含まれるフッ素が0.23mol%・μm超21mol%・μm以下となるように、調整することが必要である。
しかしながら、本発明の趣旨においてその抜けるフッ素量は微量であることから、ガラスリボン中のフッ素原子濃度と、成形工程を経た後のフロートガラス中のフッ素原子濃度とを区別する技術的必要性はない。
化学強化は、ガラス転移点以下の温度で、イオン交換により、ガラス表面のイオン半径が小さなアルカリ金属イオン(典型的には、LiイオンまたはNaイオン)を、イオン半径のより大きなアルカリ金属イオン(典型的には、Kイオン)に交換することで、ガラス表面に圧縮応力層を形成する処理である。化学強化処理は従来公知の方法によって行うことができる。
ΔX:未処理ガラス板の化学強化による反り変化量
ΔY:処理ガラス板の化学強化による反り変化量
ここで、反り変化量は、化学強化後のガラス板の反り量から、化学強化前のガラス板の反り量を減じた値である。反り変化量は、ΔX>0とする。ΔYはΔXと同方向に反る場合にΔY>0、ΔXと逆方向に反る場合はΔY<0とする。
