00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:18.840 align:middle line:84%
JUEJUN HU: So let's
continue our discussion

00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:20.320 align:middle line:90%
on glass strengthening.

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:21.920 align:middle line:84%
So in the last
lecture, we highlighted

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:23.837 align:middle line:84%
there are three different
techniques, or three

00:00:23.837 --> 00:00:26.160 align:middle line:84%
different groups of techniques,
for strengthening glass

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:26.860 align:middle line:90%
materials.

00:00:26.860 --> 00:00:28.800 align:middle line:84%
You can either
engineer the chemistry

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.840 align:middle line:84%
to enhance the intrinsic
material parameter K1c.

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:35.360 align:middle line:84%
Or you can try to essentially
decrease or eliminate

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:38.480 align:middle line:90%
the defects, surface cracks.

00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:41.320 align:middle line:84%
And the third one is that
also, even if there are surface

00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:43.620 align:middle line:84%
defects, if you apply
surface compressive stress,

00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:45.320 align:middle line:84%
you can prevent the
opening of cracks,

00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:47.040 align:middle line:84%
and therefore essentially
apparently make

00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:48.420 align:middle line:90%
the glass material more strong.

00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:50.658 align:middle line:84%
So let me elaborate a little
bit and talk about all

00:00:50.658 --> 00:00:51.700 align:middle line:90%
the different techniques.

00:00:51.700 --> 00:00:53.560 align:middle line:90%
Let's start from the first one.

00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.360 align:middle line:84%
How do you actually engineer
the intrinsic glass chemistry

00:00:56.360 --> 00:00:58.660 align:middle line:90%
to boost its K1c?

00:00:58.660 --> 00:01:00.903 align:middle line:84%
So in the previous
lecture, we have already

00:01:00.903 --> 00:01:02.320 align:middle line:84%
given you an
analytical expression

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.000 align:middle line:90%
of what K1c looks like.

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.300 align:middle line:84%
So effectively, K1c is
a material constant.

00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:09.280 align:middle line:84%
And it depends on two parameters
in a brittle material, which

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:15.120 align:middle line:84%
is gamma the surface energy,
and E is the elastic modulus.

00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:20.320 align:middle line:84%
Now, gamma is directly
dictated by the bond energy,

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:22.880 align:middle line:84%
because when you are trying
to form new surfaces,

00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:28.120 align:middle line:84%
you are essentially spending
energy to break chemical bonds.

00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.800 align:middle line:84%
And the excess
energy you accumulate

00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:32.820 align:middle line:84%
is basically because
of the chemical bonds.

00:01:32.820 --> 00:01:36.120 align:middle line:84%
They are now essentially
dangling on the surface.

00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.680 align:middle line:84%
The electrons are no longer
paired with one another

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:40.100 align:middle line:90%
to lower the overall energy.

00:01:40.100 --> 00:01:43.880 align:middle line:84%
So the basic
material theory says

00:01:43.880 --> 00:01:47.120 align:middle line:84%
that gamma is
directly proportional

00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.120 align:middle line:90%
to the chemical bond energy.

00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.400 align:middle line:90%


00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.600 align:middle line:84%
So therefore, in
order to increase K1c,

00:01:56.600 --> 00:02:01.590 align:middle line:84%
an immediate way is to basically
increase the chemical bond

00:02:01.590 --> 00:02:02.090 align:middle line:90%
energy.

00:02:02.090 --> 00:02:03.930 align:middle line:84%
You have stronger
chemical bonds,

00:02:03.930 --> 00:02:05.790 align:middle line:90%
you tend to increase gamma.

00:02:05.790 --> 00:02:08.789 align:middle line:84%
It turns out stronger
chemical bonds also

00:02:08.789 --> 00:02:11.030 align:middle line:84%
tend to increase elastic
modulus as well, which

00:02:11.030 --> 00:02:11.797 align:middle line:90%
is understandable.

00:02:11.797 --> 00:02:13.630 align:middle line:84%
But the correlation is
actually a lot weaker

00:02:13.630 --> 00:02:15.005 align:middle line:84%
because elastic
modulus has to do

00:02:15.005 --> 00:02:17.190 align:middle line:84%
with specific shape
of essentially

00:02:17.190 --> 00:02:19.590 align:middle line:84%
the interaction potential
between the different atoms.

00:02:19.590 --> 00:02:21.390 align:middle line:84%
But in general, rule
of thumb, if you

00:02:21.390 --> 00:02:24.270 align:middle line:84%
want to have material that's
actually mechanically stronger,

00:02:24.270 --> 00:02:25.670 align:middle line:84%
can resist crack
propagation, you

00:02:25.670 --> 00:02:27.670 align:middle line:84%
want something with strong
chemical bonds, which also

00:02:27.670 --> 00:02:29.110 align:middle line:90%
makes a lot of intuitive sense.

00:02:29.110 --> 00:02:31.910 align:middle line:84%
Now, even for the
same chemical bonds,

00:02:31.910 --> 00:02:35.350 align:middle line:84%
I also want to mention that
the network topology also

00:02:35.350 --> 00:02:38.110 align:middle line:84%
play a role in dictating the
mechanical properties of glass

00:02:38.110 --> 00:02:39.070 align:middle line:90%
materials.

00:02:39.070 --> 00:02:41.007 align:middle line:84%
So this is most clearly
seen by this plot

00:02:41.007 --> 00:02:42.590 align:middle line:84%
here, where we are
essentially looking

00:02:42.590 --> 00:02:46.030 align:middle line:84%
at the variation of
the elastic modulus

00:02:46.030 --> 00:02:48.830 align:middle line:84%
as a function of arsenic
percentage in arsenic

00:02:48.830 --> 00:02:50.698 align:middle line:84%
selenium [INAUDIBLE]
[? glass. ?]

00:02:50.698 --> 00:02:51.990 align:middle line:90%
So there are three curves here.

00:02:51.990 --> 00:02:54.630 align:middle line:90%
E is a Young's modulus.

00:02:54.630 --> 00:02:59.270 align:middle line:84%
K is essentially the
volumetric modulus.

00:02:59.270 --> 00:03:01.750 align:middle line:90%
G is the shear modulus.

00:03:01.750 --> 00:03:05.270 align:middle line:84%
So it's quite remarkable that
if you look at all three curves,

00:03:05.270 --> 00:03:09.670 align:middle line:84%
they all peak where
arsenic corresponds to 40%

00:03:09.670 --> 00:03:13.810 align:middle line:84%
So this is actually
the As2Se3 composition.

00:03:13.810 --> 00:03:16.670 align:middle line:84%
Now, if you recall,
this also corresponds

00:03:16.670 --> 00:03:19.670 align:middle line:84%
to where you have a mean
coordination number of 2.4,

00:03:19.670 --> 00:03:22.990 align:middle line:90%
the magic number.

00:03:22.990 --> 00:03:24.830 align:middle line:84%
This is actually quite
a common phenomenon

00:03:24.830 --> 00:03:27.410 align:middle line:84%
if you look at some other
groups of glass materials.

00:03:27.410 --> 00:03:30.550 align:middle line:84%
What I'm showing you here, if
you focus on these black dots

00:03:30.550 --> 00:03:32.590 align:middle line:84%
here, these are actually
the binary germanium

00:03:32.590 --> 00:03:34.390 align:middle line:90%
selenide glasses.

00:03:34.390 --> 00:03:37.150 align:middle line:84%
And it's plotted in
these two plots here.

00:03:37.150 --> 00:03:39.190 align:middle line:84%
This one is basically
the toughness measured

00:03:39.190 --> 00:03:40.190 align:middle line:90%
by indentation method--

00:03:40.190 --> 00:03:41.950 align:middle line:84%
I talked about it
in the last lecture

00:03:41.950 --> 00:03:44.048 align:middle line:84%
as a function of the
mean coordination number.

00:03:44.048 --> 00:03:46.590 align:middle line:84%
On this one on the right side,
this is basically brittleness,

00:03:46.590 --> 00:03:48.630 align:middle line:84%
similarly inferred from
limitation measurements

00:03:48.630 --> 00:03:51.390 align:middle line:84%
as a function of mean
coordination [? number. ?]

00:03:51.390 --> 00:03:54.110 align:middle line:84%
What we are seeing here is that
a critically connected glass

00:03:54.110 --> 00:03:56.390 align:middle line:84%
network also
corresponds to the point

00:03:56.390 --> 00:04:00.790 align:middle line:84%
where you have the maximum
toughness and the lowest

00:04:00.790 --> 00:04:03.190 align:middle line:90%
brittleness.

00:04:03.190 --> 00:04:05.870 align:middle line:90%
The two are correlated together.

00:04:05.870 --> 00:04:06.930 align:middle line:90%
It's less brittle.

00:04:06.930 --> 00:04:09.770 align:middle line:84%
You can actually accommodate
more plastic deformation.

00:04:09.770 --> 00:04:11.200 align:middle line:90%
You absorb more energy.

00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:12.450 align:middle line:90%
Therefore, it becomes tougher.

00:04:12.450 --> 00:04:17.670 align:middle line:84%
So the takeaway message is
that the network topology also

00:04:17.670 --> 00:04:21.990 align:middle line:84%
plays a significant role in
dictating the intrinsic glass

00:04:21.990 --> 00:04:23.690 align:middle line:84%
mechanical properties
there as well.

00:04:23.690 --> 00:04:28.710 align:middle line:90%


00:04:28.710 --> 00:04:32.670 align:middle line:84%
All right, so that's
about the glass chemistry.

00:04:32.670 --> 00:04:35.590 align:middle line:84%
Now we'll spend a bit
more time discussing

00:04:35.590 --> 00:04:40.110 align:middle line:84%
about how to introduce a
compressive stress on glass

00:04:40.110 --> 00:04:43.030 align:middle line:84%
surfaces to prevent
crack propagation.

00:04:43.030 --> 00:04:45.310 align:middle line:84%
And there are, in general,
three different ways

00:04:45.310 --> 00:04:46.550 align:middle line:90%
that people do it.

00:04:46.550 --> 00:04:50.110 align:middle line:84%
You have thermal toughening,
chemical toughening

00:04:50.110 --> 00:04:52.810 align:middle line:84%
or ion exchange, as well as
so-called intrinsic toughening.

00:04:52.810 --> 00:04:55.150 align:middle line:84%
OK, so let me go
through them one by one.

00:04:55.150 --> 00:04:57.687 align:middle line:84%
So thermal toughening
is probably the easier.

00:04:57.687 --> 00:04:59.270 align:middle line:84%
It's basically how
you actually create

00:04:59.270 --> 00:05:00.850 align:middle line:90%
any kind of tempered glasses.

00:05:00.850 --> 00:05:01.930 align:middle line:90%
You have a glass pane.

00:05:01.930 --> 00:05:03.870 align:middle line:84%
You heat it up to
a high temperature

00:05:03.870 --> 00:05:07.750 align:middle line:84%
above the glass
transition temperature.

00:05:07.750 --> 00:05:09.790 align:middle line:84%
So then you quickly
cool it down.

00:05:09.790 --> 00:05:12.630 align:middle line:84%
And because of the difference
in terms of cooling rate

00:05:12.630 --> 00:05:14.690 align:middle line:84%
from the outside
and the interior,

00:05:14.690 --> 00:05:16.710 align:middle line:84%
you eventually
build up a gradient

00:05:16.710 --> 00:05:19.030 align:middle line:84%
of stress inside
the material here.

00:05:19.030 --> 00:05:20.850 align:middle line:84%
The surface will be
compressive stress.

00:05:20.850 --> 00:05:23.430 align:middle line:84%
The interior will
be tensile stress

00:05:23.430 --> 00:05:27.670 align:middle line:84%
The typical stress profile will
be what I'm illustrating here.

00:05:27.670 --> 00:05:30.630 align:middle line:84%
As I'll show you in
the next few slides,

00:05:30.630 --> 00:05:32.830 align:middle line:84%
the stress profile,
theoretically, it

00:05:32.830 --> 00:05:35.590 align:middle line:84%
will follow like
a parabolic shape

00:05:35.590 --> 00:05:37.170 align:middle line:84%
So because of the
parabolic shape,

00:05:37.170 --> 00:05:39.030 align:middle line:84%
you can actually
easily calculate

00:05:39.030 --> 00:05:41.750 align:middle line:84%
the surface layer that's
under compressive strain

00:05:41.750 --> 00:05:45.730 align:middle line:84%
will be about 20% of the overall
thickness of the glass pane.

00:05:45.730 --> 00:05:48.630 align:middle line:84%
So on each side, you have
basically 20% of region that's

00:05:48.630 --> 00:05:49.880 align:middle line:90%
under compressive strength.

00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:52.540 align:middle line:84%
And inside, there's about
60% of the thickness

00:05:52.540 --> 00:05:53.920 align:middle line:90%
that's under tensile strength.

00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:58.540 align:middle line:90%


00:05:58.540 --> 00:06:02.180 align:middle line:84%
One basic rule coming from
mechanics saying that because

00:06:02.180 --> 00:06:06.100 align:middle line:84%
of equilibrium, the requirement
for doing equilibrium,

00:06:06.100 --> 00:06:09.060 align:middle line:84%
if you look at a thin pane
of glass that's uniform

00:06:09.060 --> 00:06:12.140 align:middle line:84%
in composition, the
area under the curve

00:06:12.140 --> 00:06:16.040 align:middle line:84%
must be the same for
compressive and tensile stress.

00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.100 align:middle line:84%
So effectively, we're saying
that these two triangular

00:06:19.100 --> 00:06:22.380 align:middle line:84%
regions here, the
area should add up

00:06:22.380 --> 00:06:25.380 align:middle line:84%
to the same area as the
area under this curve

00:06:25.380 --> 00:06:26.540 align:middle line:90%
here in the middle.

00:06:26.540 --> 00:06:29.180 align:middle line:84%
That's just because of
simple mechanical equilibrium

00:06:29.180 --> 00:06:31.800 align:middle line:90%
requirements.

00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.740 align:middle line:84%
Now, what that
also means is that,

00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:37.260 align:middle line:84%
because there's a very
significant thickness

00:06:37.260 --> 00:06:39.260 align:middle line:84%
of the material under
large compressive strain

00:06:39.260 --> 00:06:40.660 align:middle line:90%
on the surface, 20%.

00:06:40.660 --> 00:06:43.580 align:middle line:84%
The magnitude of the tensile
strain inside the glass

00:06:43.580 --> 00:06:48.220 align:middle line:84%
is also very significant, just
to counterbalance the surface

00:06:48.220 --> 00:06:49.240 align:middle line:90%
compressive strain.

00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.020 align:middle line:84%
So this is actually one of the
main problems with thermally

00:06:53.020 --> 00:06:57.032 align:middle line:84%
tempered glasses
Because glass materials,

00:06:57.032 --> 00:06:58.740 align:middle line:84%
if you have any kind
of intrinsic defects

00:06:58.740 --> 00:07:01.580 align:middle line:84%
under compressive strain,
great, it's not going to open.

00:07:01.580 --> 00:07:05.060 align:middle line:84%
Under tensile strain,
however, any kind of defects

00:07:05.060 --> 00:07:08.480 align:middle line:84%
can easily propagate
because it's getting opened.

00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:10.860 align:middle line:84%
The crack tip is getting opened
by this intrinsic tensile

00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:11.860 align:middle line:90%
strain.

00:07:11.860 --> 00:07:15.300 align:middle line:84%
So the tensile strain
region essentially

00:07:15.300 --> 00:07:19.182 align:middle line:84%
becomes Achilles heel for
thermally tempered glasses

00:07:19.182 --> 00:07:21.140 align:middle line:84%
You already see the
example when you're looking

00:07:21.140 --> 00:07:22.660 align:middle line:90%
at the Prince Rupert's drop.

00:07:22.660 --> 00:07:25.180 align:middle line:84%
In Prince Rupert's drop
the tail essentially

00:07:25.180 --> 00:07:29.360 align:middle line:84%
allows you to access the
tensile strain region inside.

00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.000 align:middle line:84%
So if you accidentally
break the tail,

00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.780 align:middle line:84%
it quickly propagates and
the whole thing breaks apart.

00:07:33.780 --> 00:07:37.140 align:middle line:84%
So as we'll see later, a
thermally tempered glass

00:07:37.140 --> 00:07:39.942 align:middle line:84%
has the issue of
spontaneous breakage,

00:07:39.942 --> 00:07:41.400 align:middle line:84%
even though the
probability is low.

00:07:41.400 --> 00:07:44.020 align:middle line:84%
But they do sometimes
spontaneously break basically

00:07:44.020 --> 00:07:47.220 align:middle line:84%
because of defects in the
tensile strength region.

00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:50.980 align:middle line:84%
So because of
that, you obviously

00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:54.380 align:middle line:84%
don't want a cell phone to
explode suddenly in your pocket.

00:07:54.380 --> 00:07:56.860 align:middle line:84%
So that's why people come up
with an alternative technique

00:07:56.860 --> 00:07:59.740 align:middle line:84%
for applications like
smartphone screens.

00:07:59.740 --> 00:08:02.700 align:middle line:84%
The technique they use is
called ion exchange or chemical

00:08:02.700 --> 00:08:03.380 align:middle line:90%
toughening.

00:08:03.380 --> 00:08:05.980 align:middle line:84%
And in this case, what you do
is immerse your glass material

00:08:05.980 --> 00:08:08.120 align:middle line:84%
into essentially a
molten salt bath.

00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.280 align:middle line:84%
If it's a glass
containing sodium,

00:08:10.280 --> 00:08:13.700 align:middle line:84%
you can put it in, for
example, a potassium salt bath.

00:08:13.700 --> 00:08:16.060 align:middle line:84%
And then the potassium
ion diffuses in the glass.

00:08:16.060 --> 00:08:17.240 align:middle line:90%
Sodium ion also diffuses.

00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:18.615 align:middle line:84%
So eventually,
potassium is going

00:08:18.615 --> 00:08:22.720 align:middle line:84%
to occupy the original site
occupied by the sodium ions.

00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:23.720 align:middle line:90%
And potassium is bigger.

00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.178 align:middle line:84%
So then that can essentially
create this compressive strain

00:08:26.178 --> 00:08:26.880 align:middle line:90%
on the surface.

00:08:26.880 --> 00:08:27.780 align:middle line:90%
Simple.

00:08:27.780 --> 00:08:30.860 align:middle line:84%
Now, what I want to highlight
here is this strain profile--

00:08:30.860 --> 00:08:32.059 align:middle line:90%
stress profile.

00:08:32.059 --> 00:08:37.059 align:middle line:84%
You have very high compressive
stress on the surface.

00:08:37.059 --> 00:08:38.980 align:middle line:84%
But the thickness
of this layer, this

00:08:38.980 --> 00:08:41.460 align:middle line:84%
is called K steps, the
surface layer where

00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:44.169 align:middle line:90%
you have compressive stress.

00:08:44.169 --> 00:08:48.170 align:middle line:84%
K step typically is pretty small
for chemically toughened glass.

00:08:48.170 --> 00:08:51.050 align:middle line:84%
It's of the order of
a few tens of microns.

00:08:51.050 --> 00:08:53.808 align:middle line:84%
So what that means
is, if you think

00:08:53.808 --> 00:08:55.850 align:middle line:84%
about it from the same
perspective of essentially

00:08:55.850 --> 00:08:58.090 align:middle line:84%
mechanical equilibrium,
Again, the area

00:08:58.090 --> 00:09:00.370 align:middle line:84%
under either tensile
or compressive strain

00:09:00.370 --> 00:09:01.210 align:middle line:90%
has to be equal.

00:09:01.210 --> 00:09:04.490 align:middle line:84%
But because the surface
compressive layer is so thin,

00:09:04.490 --> 00:09:08.290 align:middle line:84%
the magnitude of tensile strain
in the interior of the glass

00:09:08.290 --> 00:09:12.210 align:middle line:90%
pane is much smaller.

00:09:12.210 --> 00:09:13.930 align:middle line:84%
So because of that,
you pretty much

00:09:13.930 --> 00:09:17.850 align:middle line:84%
eliminate any risks of
spontaneous breakage because

00:09:17.850 --> 00:09:20.150 align:middle line:84%
of the large tensile strain
in the glass material.

00:09:20.150 --> 00:09:23.250 align:middle line:84%
So that's why your cell phone
is not going to explode suddenly

00:09:23.250 --> 00:09:24.110 align:middle line:90%
in your pocket.

00:09:24.110 --> 00:09:27.930 align:middle line:90%


00:09:27.930 --> 00:09:31.290 align:middle line:84%
All right, now last one--
intrinsic toughening,

00:09:31.290 --> 00:09:33.548 align:middle line:84%
this usually applies to
essentially selective

00:09:33.548 --> 00:09:35.090 align:middle line:84%
modification of the
chemical property

00:09:35.090 --> 00:09:36.570 align:middle line:90%
on the surface of glass.

00:09:36.570 --> 00:09:38.650 align:middle line:84%
This can be done
by crystallization.

00:09:38.650 --> 00:09:41.190 align:middle line:84%
And as I mentioned
in the last class,

00:09:41.190 --> 00:09:43.650 align:middle line:84%
glass ceramics is one way
to actually strengthen

00:09:43.650 --> 00:09:44.770 align:middle line:90%
glass materials.

00:09:44.770 --> 00:09:47.970 align:middle line:84%
In fact, if you look at some
of the high-end smartphone

00:09:47.970 --> 00:09:52.140 align:middle line:84%
products, Apple has, what's
called Ceramic Shield--

00:09:52.140 --> 00:09:53.890 align:middle line:84%
I don't know if you
heard that brand name.

00:09:53.890 --> 00:09:56.670 align:middle line:84%
In some of their more
recent generation of phones,

00:09:56.670 --> 00:09:58.190 align:middle line:90%
it has Ceramic Shield.

00:09:58.190 --> 00:09:59.530 align:middle line:90%
It's basically a glass.

00:09:59.530 --> 00:10:01.350 align:middle line:84%
The screen is made
of pure glass.

00:10:01.350 --> 00:10:02.810 align:middle line:90%
It's glass ceramics.

00:10:02.810 --> 00:10:04.170 align:middle line:90%
Samsung is following suit.

00:10:04.170 --> 00:10:06.370 align:middle line:84%
I think Corning has
a new product called

00:10:06.370 --> 00:10:14.010 align:middle line:84%
gorilla Armor, which is
basically also glass ceramics.

00:10:14.010 --> 00:10:16.437 align:middle line:84%
So you can essentially
create a gradient

00:10:16.437 --> 00:10:17.770 align:middle line:90%
in terms of chemical properties.

00:10:17.770 --> 00:10:20.130 align:middle line:84%
You can, by
essentially diffusion,

00:10:20.130 --> 00:10:22.043 align:middle line:84%
create a chemical
gradient, and use

00:10:22.043 --> 00:10:24.210 align:middle line:84%
that to actually help to
create a compressive stress

00:10:24.210 --> 00:10:24.910 align:middle line:90%
on the surface.

00:10:24.910 --> 00:10:28.010 align:middle line:84%
So we're mostly focusing
on the first two categories

00:10:28.010 --> 00:10:30.730 align:middle line:84%
because they are the most
commonly used examples

00:10:30.730 --> 00:10:32.270 align:middle line:84%
in strengthening
glass materials.

00:10:32.270 --> 00:10:36.850 align:middle line:84%
So I'll start from
the first one.

00:10:36.850 --> 00:10:40.290 align:middle line:84%
So thermal tempering is
probably the most widely used

00:10:40.290 --> 00:10:45.916 align:middle line:84%
for everyday products
like architectural glasses

00:10:45.916 --> 00:10:49.410 align:middle line:90%
or everyday home appliances.

00:10:49.410 --> 00:10:51.478 align:middle line:84%
And the reason is that
it's quite simple to make

00:10:51.478 --> 00:10:52.770 align:middle line:90%
compared to chemical tempering.

00:10:52.770 --> 00:10:54.110 align:middle line:90%
It's actually much lower costs.

00:10:54.110 --> 00:10:58.230 align:middle line:84%
So the way it works, let's start
by looking at this plot here.

00:10:58.230 --> 00:11:00.810 align:middle line:84%
This is basically what I'm
plotting here, two things--

00:11:00.810 --> 00:11:04.050 align:middle line:84%
temperature profile
and the stress profile

00:11:04.050 --> 00:11:06.810 align:middle line:90%
inside a flat pane of glass.

00:11:06.810 --> 00:11:09.570 align:middle line:84%
You first start by heating
up to somewhere around 600,

00:11:09.570 --> 00:11:12.970 align:middle line:84%
650 degrees Celsius
for soda-lime glass.

00:11:12.970 --> 00:11:17.050 align:middle line:84%
Now, for soda-lime glass, let
me remind you that it's Tg.

00:11:17.050 --> 00:11:19.650 align:middle line:90%
It's about 510 degrees Celsius.

00:11:19.650 --> 00:11:22.490 align:middle line:90%
So what is Tg?

00:11:22.490 --> 00:11:26.290 align:middle line:84%
If you recall, it is also
called the straining point.

00:11:26.290 --> 00:11:29.490 align:middle line:84%
It means that if you heat up
the glass material above the Tg,

00:11:29.490 --> 00:11:32.330 align:middle line:84%
any internal stress
is going to relax.

00:11:32.330 --> 00:11:35.390 align:middle line:84%
Below Tg, the stress will
take too long to relax.

00:11:35.390 --> 00:11:37.640 align:middle line:84%
So you can actually
build up internal stress.

00:11:37.640 --> 00:11:40.832 align:middle line:84%
So therefore, if you
heat it up above Tg,

00:11:40.832 --> 00:11:42.540 align:middle line:84%
you have a uniform
temperature initially.

00:11:42.540 --> 00:11:44.440 align:middle line:84%
And then the stress
should also be 0

00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:46.760 align:middle line:84%
because all the
stress gets relaxed.

00:11:46.760 --> 00:11:48.545 align:middle line:90%
Then you start to cool down.

00:11:48.545 --> 00:11:49.920 align:middle line:84%
Now, when you
start to cool down,

00:11:49.920 --> 00:11:51.462 align:middle line:84%
you build up the
temperature gradient

00:11:51.462 --> 00:11:53.080 align:middle line:90%
like what I'm showing here.

00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.120 align:middle line:84%
Initially, the
temperature is still high.

00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.640 align:middle line:84%
So there should still
be no stress at all.

00:11:57.640 --> 00:12:00.640 align:middle line:84%
Now, the profile of
this temperature here,

00:12:00.640 --> 00:12:03.240 align:middle line:84%
we argue that this should be
an ideal case scenario where

00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:04.860 align:middle line:90%
the glass is uniform.

00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:07.160 align:middle line:84%
And this probably doesn't
depend on temperature.

00:12:07.160 --> 00:12:10.340 align:middle line:84%
This curve should have
exactly a parabolic shape.

00:12:10.340 --> 00:12:11.980 align:middle line:90%
You can prove it mathematically.

00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:14.920 align:middle line:84%
But in fact, it's
quite easy to explain,

00:12:14.920 --> 00:12:17.880 align:middle line:84%
just intuitively here, why
this is a parabolic shape.

00:12:17.880 --> 00:12:21.480 align:middle line:84%
If you think about
a pane of glass,

00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:26.260 align:middle line:84%
and this is the temperature
curve, by symmetry,

00:12:26.260 --> 00:12:28.420 align:middle line:84%
you can think of the heat
coming from this side,

00:12:28.420 --> 00:12:29.580 align:middle line:90%
this half of the glass.

00:12:29.580 --> 00:12:31.800 align:middle line:84%
They should escape
from this surface.

00:12:31.800 --> 00:12:33.580 align:middle line:84%
So if you look at
one point here,

00:12:33.580 --> 00:12:40.280 align:middle line:84%
let's say [? A, ?] then
across this surface,

00:12:40.280 --> 00:12:43.118 align:middle line:84%
the heat released
will be proportional

00:12:43.118 --> 00:12:45.160 align:middle line:84%
to essentially the slope
of the temperature curve

00:12:45.160 --> 00:12:46.860 align:middle line:90%
here, just by Fourier's law.

00:12:46.860 --> 00:12:52.120 align:middle line:84%
Now, the amount of heat released
comes from the thickness

00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:54.560 align:middle line:90%
of the glass pane.

00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:56.353 align:middle line:84%
So you can expect that
the amount of heat

00:12:56.353 --> 00:12:58.520 align:middle line:84%
that you need to release
across a particular surface

00:12:58.520 --> 00:13:00.240 align:middle line:84%
inside the glass
pane here should

00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.460 align:middle line:84%
be proportional to the
thickness of the shaded area.

00:13:03.460 --> 00:13:04.960 align:middle line:84%
The larger the
shaded area, the more

00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.880 align:middle line:84%
heat you have to escape just
because you have more material

00:13:07.880 --> 00:13:09.960 align:middle line:84%
if you have uniform
cooling there.

00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:12.760 align:middle line:84%
So what that means is
that the heat dissipation

00:13:12.760 --> 00:13:14.920 align:middle line:84%
rate, or the slope
of this curve,

00:13:14.920 --> 00:13:19.520 align:middle line:84%
should be proportional to the
thickness of this shaded area.

00:13:19.520 --> 00:13:22.240 align:middle line:84%
That's exactly the
curve of a parabola.

00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.680 align:middle line:84%
The slope of parabola
scales linearly

00:13:24.680 --> 00:13:28.040 align:middle line:90%
with the horizontal coordinate.

00:13:28.040 --> 00:13:30.400 align:middle line:90%
Does that make sense?

00:13:30.400 --> 00:13:34.100 align:middle line:84%
So that's why we argue that
this must be a parabolic shape,

00:13:34.100 --> 00:13:35.740 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE] the ideal scenario.

00:13:35.740 --> 00:13:40.080 align:middle line:84%
So now in this case, as I
said, at high temperature,

00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:43.140 align:middle line:84%
essentially the temperature is
non-uniform, but stress is zero.

00:13:43.140 --> 00:13:45.440 align:middle line:90%
You start to cool down.

00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.580 align:middle line:84%
If things happen in more
or less an ideal manner,

00:13:48.580 --> 00:13:51.480 align:middle line:84%
then this temperature profile
is going to stay constant.

00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:56.600 align:middle line:84%
It's going to decrease uniformly
across the entire glass pane.

00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:00.140 align:middle line:84%
Now, if you decrease-increase
across the glass pane uniformly,

00:14:00.140 --> 00:14:02.560 align:middle line:84%
it means that the
entire piece of glass

00:14:02.560 --> 00:14:05.840 align:middle line:84%
is contracting in
a uniform manner,

00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.180 align:middle line:84%
as long as the temperature
profile stays the same shape.

00:14:09.180 --> 00:14:11.120 align:middle line:90%
You just drop down.

00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:16.560 align:middle line:84%
So in this case,
there's still no stress.

00:14:16.560 --> 00:14:20.160 align:middle line:84%
You only start to build up
stress when the surface gets

00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:22.470 align:middle line:90%
close to room temperature.

00:14:22.470 --> 00:14:24.220 align:middle line:84%
When the surface gets
to room temperature,

00:14:24.220 --> 00:14:25.960 align:middle line:90%
it will not cool down anymore.

00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:28.640 align:middle line:84%
So contraction will
stop, but the inside

00:14:28.640 --> 00:14:31.640 align:middle line:84%
is still at high temperature
because of the parabolic shape.

00:14:31.640 --> 00:14:33.760 align:middle line:84%
So the inside will
continue to cool down

00:14:33.760 --> 00:14:36.680 align:middle line:84%
and it will continue
to contract.

00:14:36.680 --> 00:14:38.880 align:middle line:84%
So in this process, this
is when you actually

00:14:38.880 --> 00:14:41.180 align:middle line:90%
build up this stress gradient.

00:14:41.180 --> 00:14:42.620 align:middle line:90%
The surface becomes compressed.

00:14:42.620 --> 00:14:44.560 align:middle line:90%
The inside has tensile stress.

00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:47.400 align:middle line:84%
So the key takeaway
message here is

00:14:47.400 --> 00:14:49.720 align:middle line:84%
that when you're doing the
thermal tempering process,

00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.507 align:middle line:84%
you do not build up the
stress under high temperature.

00:14:52.507 --> 00:14:54.840 align:middle line:84%
You actually build up stress
when the material is cooled

00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:59.600 align:middle line:90%
down close to room temperature.

00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.175 align:middle line:84%
So only when you start to
have essentially the surface

00:15:03.175 --> 00:15:04.800 align:middle line:84%
start to reach room
temperature, that's

00:15:04.800 --> 00:15:06.633 align:middle line:84%
when you actually build
up the stress there.

00:15:06.633 --> 00:15:08.960 align:middle line:90%


00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.623 align:middle line:84%
All right, so this
plot, essentially, I

00:15:11.623 --> 00:15:12.540 align:middle line:90%
give you the equation.

00:15:12.540 --> 00:15:14.498 align:middle line:84%
I already tell you that
the temperature profile

00:15:14.498 --> 00:15:16.040 align:middle line:90%
should have a parabolic shape.

00:15:16.040 --> 00:15:20.440 align:middle line:84%
So as a result, if the thermal
expansion is uniform again,

00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.680 align:middle line:84%
then the stress
profile should also

00:15:22.680 --> 00:15:25.000 align:middle line:90%
follow the same parabolic shape.

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.020 align:middle line:84%
So then, from the argument
of mechanical equilibrium,

00:15:28.020 --> 00:15:30.590 align:middle line:84%
the area under the tensile
and compressive stress curve

00:15:30.590 --> 00:15:31.290 align:middle line:90%
should be equal.

00:15:31.290 --> 00:15:34.070 align:middle line:84%
You can then determine where
this kind of zero stress plane

00:15:34.070 --> 00:15:34.990 align:middle line:90%
should be.

00:15:34.990 --> 00:15:37.630 align:middle line:84%
And that's where we come up with
the conclusion that about 20%

00:15:37.630 --> 00:15:39.310 align:middle line:84%
of the glass thickness
on the surface

00:15:39.310 --> 00:15:41.170 align:middle line:90%
is under compressive strain.

00:15:41.170 --> 00:15:44.790 align:middle line:90%


00:15:44.790 --> 00:15:48.030 align:middle line:84%
All right, so now, here's
a few important conclusions

00:15:48.030 --> 00:15:50.350 align:middle line:84%
we can draw from this
very simple equation here.

00:15:50.350 --> 00:15:53.790 align:middle line:84%
The first thing is
that assuming, again,

00:15:53.790 --> 00:15:57.790 align:middle line:84%
we have this ideal parabolic
stress distribution curve, what

00:15:57.790 --> 00:16:01.830 align:middle line:84%
you will see is that
the surface stress,

00:16:01.830 --> 00:16:05.530 align:middle line:84%
they should scale quadratically
with the thickness of the glass.

00:16:05.530 --> 00:16:08.670 align:middle line:84%
So in this case, sigma, this is
basically the surface stress.

00:16:08.670 --> 00:16:12.070 align:middle line:84%
X is essentially the
horizontal coordinate

00:16:12.070 --> 00:16:14.330 align:middle line:84%
which corresponds to
thickness of the glass.

00:16:14.330 --> 00:16:17.790 align:middle line:84%
So the thicker the glass,
the larger the stress

00:16:17.790 --> 00:16:19.510 align:middle line:84%
gradient you can
actually build up.

00:16:19.510 --> 00:16:24.110 align:middle line:84%
And hence, the higher the
surface compressive stress

00:16:24.110 --> 00:16:26.590 align:middle line:84%
So this can be
demonstrated by what

00:16:26.590 --> 00:16:28.550 align:middle line:84%
I'm showing on the
right-hand side plot here.

00:16:28.550 --> 00:16:30.675 align:middle line:84%
For the right-hand side
plot, what I'm showing here

00:16:30.675 --> 00:16:33.870 align:middle line:84%
is essentially a surface
stress measured on essentially

00:16:33.870 --> 00:16:35.630 align:middle line:90%
soda-lime glass panes.

00:16:35.630 --> 00:16:38.678 align:middle line:84%
That's cooled down just
simply using an air quench.

00:16:38.678 --> 00:16:39.970 align:middle line:90%
So it's pretty straightforward.

00:16:39.970 --> 00:16:41.637 align:middle line:84%
You just get a glass
pane, put it there.

00:16:41.637 --> 00:16:44.490 align:middle line:84%
Just through convective cooling,
it cools down from the furnace.

00:16:44.490 --> 00:16:49.110 align:middle line:84%
So each of these curves
correspond to a different glass

00:16:49.110 --> 00:16:51.710 align:middle line:84%
thickness, ranging from
about 2 millimeters

00:16:51.710 --> 00:16:55.470 align:middle line:84%
all the way to about more
than 1 inch in thickness.

00:16:55.470 --> 00:16:58.910 align:middle line:84%
Now, you do see that
the stress increases

00:16:58.910 --> 00:17:00.950 align:middle line:84%
as you go to thicker
and thicker glass panes.

00:17:00.950 --> 00:17:04.550 align:middle line:84%
However, if you compare,
for example, this top one,

00:17:04.550 --> 00:17:07.270 align:middle line:84%
this one is more
than 10 times thicker

00:17:07.270 --> 00:17:09.030 align:middle line:90%
than the bottom curve here.

00:17:09.030 --> 00:17:11.410 align:middle line:84%
So if it follows this
quadratic relation,

00:17:11.410 --> 00:17:13.710 align:middle line:84%
the surface stress should
be 100 times higher

00:17:13.710 --> 00:17:17.910 align:middle line:84%
than the thinner glass pane,
which obviously is not the case.

00:17:17.910 --> 00:17:21.609 align:middle line:84%
So that means that
our ideal theory,

00:17:21.609 --> 00:17:24.150 align:middle line:84%
this kind of parabolic
stress distribution, it

00:17:24.150 --> 00:17:27.410 align:middle line:84%
has not taken into account some
practical considerations there.

00:17:27.410 --> 00:17:29.990 align:middle line:84%
It turns out what
happens there is actually

00:17:29.990 --> 00:17:34.310 align:middle line:84%
because of
viscoelastic relaxation

00:17:34.310 --> 00:17:37.190 align:middle line:84%
because we know glass, around
the glass transition regime,

00:17:37.190 --> 00:17:38.690 align:middle line:84%
is actually
viscoelastic material.

00:17:38.690 --> 00:17:41.970 align:middle line:84%
And what viscoelastic material
does is that it can relax.

00:17:41.970 --> 00:17:45.510 align:middle line:84%
So even if you start to build up
this kind of stress and strain

00:17:45.510 --> 00:17:49.010 align:middle line:84%
gradient, because of
relaxation phenomena,

00:17:49.010 --> 00:17:51.190 align:middle line:84%
essentially the strain or
the stress you build up

00:17:51.190 --> 00:17:53.310 align:middle line:90%
would gradually decay over time.

00:17:53.310 --> 00:17:56.390 align:middle line:84%
So that's why when you actually
get to the final steady state,

00:17:56.390 --> 00:17:58.790 align:middle line:84%
the steady state
stress you will measure

00:17:58.790 --> 00:18:01.350 align:middle line:84%
is much less compared to what
you would calculate just based

00:18:01.350 --> 00:18:04.590 align:middle line:90%
on the simple theory there.

00:18:04.590 --> 00:18:09.190 align:middle line:84%
So that's why if you only use
a simple convective cooling,

00:18:09.190 --> 00:18:11.630 align:middle line:84%
that's actually a limit
on how much stress

00:18:11.630 --> 00:18:13.633 align:middle line:90%
you can actually build up.

00:18:13.633 --> 00:18:15.550 align:middle line:84%
This can be seen from
this plot here where you

00:18:15.550 --> 00:18:16.770 align:middle line:90%
increase the glass thickness.

00:18:16.770 --> 00:18:20.150 align:middle line:84%
You get diminishing returns in
terms of building up the surface

00:18:20.150 --> 00:18:20.750 align:middle line:90%
stress.

00:18:20.750 --> 00:18:22.390 align:middle line:84%
The maximum stress
you can build up

00:18:22.390 --> 00:18:25.860 align:middle line:84%
is of the order of about
30 megapascals, which

00:18:25.860 --> 00:18:28.300 align:middle line:84%
is still quite remarkable
because the atmospheric pressure

00:18:28.300 --> 00:18:28.980 align:middle line:90%
is what?

00:18:28.980 --> 00:18:31.140 align:middle line:90%
It's like 0.1 megapascal.

00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:34.588 align:middle line:84%
So this is, like, 300
times atmospheric pressure

00:18:34.588 --> 00:18:36.380 align:middle line:84%
in terms of compressive
stress on the glass

00:18:36.380 --> 00:18:38.460 align:middle line:84%
surface if it's a
thick [INAUDIBLE].

00:18:38.460 --> 00:18:39.860 align:middle line:90%
So it is a lot.

00:18:39.860 --> 00:18:43.323 align:middle line:90%
But people want to do better.

00:18:43.323 --> 00:18:45.240 align:middle line:84%
Oh, by the way, before
I go to the next point,

00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:46.980 align:middle line:84%
I also want to mention
one quick thing.

00:18:46.980 --> 00:18:48.940 align:middle line:84%
Also, our simplified
theory also ignores

00:18:48.940 --> 00:18:54.300 align:middle line:84%
one important consideration
here about fictive temperature.

00:18:54.300 --> 00:18:58.340 align:middle line:84%
So I have mentioned about
the assumption of this kind

00:18:58.340 --> 00:19:00.100 align:middle line:90%
of parabolic stress buildup.

00:19:00.100 --> 00:19:01.850 align:middle line:90%
The glass should be uniform.

00:19:01.850 --> 00:19:04.100 align:middle line:84%
The inside and outside should
have the same properties

00:19:04.100 --> 00:19:05.780 align:middle line:90%
throughout the cooling process.

00:19:05.780 --> 00:19:07.620 align:middle line:84%
It is not because
the surface actually

00:19:07.620 --> 00:19:09.100 align:middle line:90%
cools down faster effectively.

00:19:09.100 --> 00:19:10.253 align:middle line:90%
Inside cools down slower.

00:19:10.253 --> 00:19:12.920 align:middle line:84%
So that means that the structure
of the glass is also different.

00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:15.140 align:middle line:84%
The surface should have
a fictive temperature

00:19:15.140 --> 00:19:17.920 align:middle line:84%
that's actually higher
compared to the inside.

00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:21.300 align:middle line:90%


00:19:21.300 --> 00:19:22.660 align:middle line:90%
You can think about it.

00:19:22.660 --> 00:19:24.140 align:middle line:90%
Yeah, OK.

00:19:24.140 --> 00:19:25.560 align:middle line:84%
You should know
it by this point.

00:19:25.560 --> 00:19:27.852 align:middle line:84%
You can draw your cooling
plot, and then figure it out.

00:19:27.852 --> 00:19:30.080 align:middle line:84%
So now if you have a fictive
temperature gradient,

00:19:30.080 --> 00:19:31.275 align:middle line:90%
what does that translate to?

00:19:31.275 --> 00:19:32.900 align:middle line:84%
Actually, different
fictive temperature

00:19:32.900 --> 00:19:34.140 align:middle line:90%
means different structure.

00:19:34.140 --> 00:19:35.840 align:middle line:84%
The larger the
fictive temperature,

00:19:35.840 --> 00:19:37.580 align:middle line:90%
the larger the volume.

00:19:37.580 --> 00:19:40.580 align:middle line:84%
So that's also going to change
because of volume difference.

00:19:40.580 --> 00:19:42.980 align:middle line:84%
That's also going to
contribute to essentially

00:19:42.980 --> 00:19:44.910 align:middle line:84%
an actual accumulation
of the stress there.

00:19:44.910 --> 00:19:46.660 align:middle line:84%
So that's actually
additional contribution

00:19:46.660 --> 00:19:49.220 align:middle line:84%
that we have not taken into
account due to this essentially

00:19:49.220 --> 00:19:51.700 align:middle line:84%
cooling rate gradient
in our simplified

00:19:51.700 --> 00:19:55.460 align:middle line:84%
theory of a parabolic
stress distribution.

00:19:55.460 --> 00:19:58.260 align:middle line:84%
Anyway, so coming
back to my point

00:19:58.260 --> 00:20:00.140 align:middle line:84%
here, if you just do
a simple convective

00:20:00.140 --> 00:20:04.300 align:middle line:84%
cooling, the glass you get, this
is called a thermally tempered

00:20:04.300 --> 00:20:06.660 align:middle line:90%
glass.

00:20:06.660 --> 00:20:11.260 align:middle line:84%
And you can only build
up a maximum stress.

00:20:11.260 --> 00:20:15.040 align:middle line:84%
Actually, as I said, it's about
30 megapascals, give or take.

00:20:15.040 --> 00:20:19.980 align:middle line:84%
So this kind of
heat-strengthened glass

00:20:19.980 --> 00:20:24.960 align:middle line:84%
has a limited surface stress up
to between 24 to 52 megapascals.

00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:26.740 align:middle line:84%
So this is actually
regulated, by the way.

00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:29.020 align:middle line:84%
So ASTM actually
has a standard that

00:20:29.020 --> 00:20:32.660 align:middle line:84%
specifically defines two classes
of thermally tempered classes.

00:20:32.660 --> 00:20:35.780 align:middle line:84%
One is called
heat-strengthened glass.

00:20:35.780 --> 00:20:37.740 align:middle line:84%
The other is called
tempered glass.

00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:39.900 align:middle line:84%
For heat-strengthened
glass, this

00:20:39.900 --> 00:20:43.220 align:middle line:84%
is done usually just using
simple convective cooling.

00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:47.460 align:middle line:84%
The surface stress
is relatively low.

00:20:47.460 --> 00:20:50.140 align:middle line:84%
I mean, it's still very high
pressure there, very high

00:20:50.140 --> 00:20:52.340 align:middle line:84%
compressive stress,
but it's smaller

00:20:52.340 --> 00:20:53.480 align:middle line:90%
compared to tempered glass.

00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:57.540 align:middle line:84%
So it gives you a strength
that's about twice stronger

00:20:57.540 --> 00:20:59.680 align:middle line:90%
compared to annealed glass.

00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.420 align:middle line:84%
Annealed glass essentially means
that there's no internal stress.

00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:06.020 align:middle line:84%
It's just a soda-lime glass
without any specific treatment.

00:21:06.020 --> 00:21:08.060 align:middle line:90%
So it's not strengthened.

00:21:08.060 --> 00:21:10.720 align:middle line:84%
Now, you can also go
to a tempered glass.

00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:13.780 align:middle line:84%
A tempered glass,
by this regulation,

00:21:13.780 --> 00:21:17.780 align:middle line:84%
it should have a surface stress
greater than 69 megapascals.

00:21:17.780 --> 00:21:20.930 align:middle line:84%
And it gives you about
four to five times stronger

00:21:20.930 --> 00:21:22.970 align:middle line:90%
compared to annealed glass.

00:21:22.970 --> 00:21:25.350 align:middle line:84%
Now, to get to the
tempered glass,

00:21:25.350 --> 00:21:27.950 align:middle line:84%
you cannot just do a
simple convective cooling.

00:21:27.950 --> 00:21:29.820 align:middle line:84%
You have to use
essentially some way

00:21:29.820 --> 00:21:31.570 align:middle line:84%
to actually accelerate
the cooling process

00:21:31.570 --> 00:21:33.110 align:middle line:90%
to build up even more stress.

00:21:33.110 --> 00:21:36.330 align:middle line:84%
The typical way of doing it, you
can either use compressed air.

00:21:36.330 --> 00:21:39.970 align:middle line:84%
You can use essentially forced
cooling, and blow compressed air

00:21:39.970 --> 00:21:41.310 align:middle line:90%
to expedite the cooling.

00:21:41.310 --> 00:21:45.410 align:middle line:84%
You can also do a
liquid quenching.

00:21:45.410 --> 00:21:48.370 align:middle line:84%
In that case, you
either use a mineral oil

00:21:48.370 --> 00:21:54.530 align:middle line:84%
or you actually use some salt
solutions like potassium nitrite

00:21:54.530 --> 00:21:55.695 align:middle line:90%
or sodium nitrite.

00:21:55.695 --> 00:21:57.570 align:middle line:84%
Those are typical
compositions that you would

00:21:57.570 --> 00:21:59.370 align:middle line:90%
use to quench these glasses.

00:21:59.370 --> 00:22:02.730 align:middle line:84%
There's more recent techniques
people are also using.

00:22:02.730 --> 00:22:06.410 align:middle line:84%
People also using things
like fork cooling.

00:22:06.410 --> 00:22:08.250 align:middle line:84%
So fork cooling,
they essentially

00:22:08.250 --> 00:22:11.050 align:middle line:84%
spray very tiny little
droplets of liquid

00:22:11.050 --> 00:22:13.610 align:middle line:84%
onto a surface of glass to
actually help with cooling down.

00:22:13.610 --> 00:22:15.490 align:middle line:90%
That's a more recent technique.

00:22:15.490 --> 00:22:20.730 align:middle line:84%
People are also using actually
solids as a cooling media.

00:22:20.730 --> 00:22:23.265 align:middle line:84%
So in that case, they actually
put in a fluidized bed.

00:22:23.265 --> 00:22:25.890 align:middle line:84%
In the fluidized bed, you have
these tiny little beads, usually

00:22:25.890 --> 00:22:26.930 align:middle line:90%
made of alumina.

00:22:26.930 --> 00:22:29.470 align:middle line:84%
They have a small diameter
of a few hundred microns.

00:22:29.470 --> 00:22:32.610 align:middle line:84%
Under appropriate conditions,
the collection of particles

00:22:32.610 --> 00:22:33.715 align:middle line:90%
behaves like liquid.

00:22:33.715 --> 00:22:35.590 align:middle line:84%
And then you can
essentially put it in there.

00:22:35.590 --> 00:22:37.007 align:middle line:84%
And then these
particles are going

00:22:37.007 --> 00:22:39.930 align:middle line:84%
to roll across the glass surface
and induce cooling there.

00:22:39.930 --> 00:22:41.570 align:middle line:84%
So those are the more
recent techniques

00:22:41.570 --> 00:22:45.950 align:middle line:84%
compared to the liquid or forced
air, compressed air cooling OK.

00:22:45.950 --> 00:22:47.090 align:middle line:90%
Yes.

00:22:47.090 --> 00:22:50.530 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: What are the,
I guess, constraints

00:22:50.530 --> 00:22:54.810 align:middle line:84%
on mineral oil or salt
solution [INAUDIBLE]?

00:22:54.810 --> 00:23:00.228 align:middle line:84%
Is it just water is too good in
[INAUDIBLE] glass [INAUDIBLE].

00:23:00.228 --> 00:23:01.270 align:middle line:90%
JUEJUN HU: Good question.

00:23:01.270 --> 00:23:02.645 align:middle line:84%
I actually don't
know exactly why

00:23:02.645 --> 00:23:05.790 align:middle line:84%
they use that specific chemical
formula for cooling there.

00:23:05.790 --> 00:23:06.670 align:middle line:90%
I have to look it up.

00:23:06.670 --> 00:23:07.430 align:middle line:90%
That's a good question.

00:23:07.430 --> 00:23:09.230 align:middle line:84%
I know that that's what they
use, the chemical formula.

00:23:09.230 --> 00:23:11.147 align:middle line:84%
I don't know exactly why
they actually use it.

00:23:11.147 --> 00:23:12.265 align:middle line:90%
So let me look it up.

00:23:12.265 --> 00:23:13.890 align:middle line:84%
I can't answer your
question right now.

00:23:13.890 --> 00:23:16.570 align:middle line:90%


00:23:16.570 --> 00:23:19.630 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: And for
the salt solutions,

00:23:19.630 --> 00:23:23.870 align:middle line:84%
if you're quenching from
a high enough temperature,

00:23:23.870 --> 00:23:26.130 align:middle line:84%
is there any chemical
strengthening

00:23:26.130 --> 00:23:32.650 align:middle line:90%
that happens at the same time?

00:23:32.650 --> 00:23:35.690 align:middle line:84%
JUEJUN HU: I would say no, or
[? at least ?] quite minimally.

00:23:35.690 --> 00:23:39.930 align:middle line:84%
In fact, what happens
is that we will see,

00:23:39.930 --> 00:23:43.610 align:middle line:84%
for chemical strengthening, it
requires probably more extreme

00:23:43.610 --> 00:23:44.310 align:middle line:90%
conditions.

00:23:44.310 --> 00:23:47.373 align:middle line:84%
And also, it requires
much longer duration.

00:23:47.373 --> 00:23:48.790 align:middle line:84%
You can also use--
in fact, we are

00:23:48.790 --> 00:23:50.130 align:middle line:84%
going to show you one
example where people

00:23:50.130 --> 00:23:52.530 align:middle line:84%
use supercritical fluid to
do strengthening [INAUDIBLE]

00:23:52.530 --> 00:23:53.590 align:middle line:90%
chemical strengthening.

00:23:53.590 --> 00:23:56.250 align:middle line:84%
And in that case, people usually
use [? hours ?] for diffusion

00:23:56.250 --> 00:23:57.330 align:middle line:90%
to take place.

00:23:57.330 --> 00:24:00.350 align:middle line:84%
During the quenching process,
maybe like surface monolayer,

00:24:00.350 --> 00:24:02.010 align:middle line:90%
but that's really negligible.

00:24:02.010 --> 00:24:04.250 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:24:04.250 --> 00:24:07.430 align:middle line:84%
OK, so bottom line,
tempered glass is stronger.

00:24:07.430 --> 00:24:09.690 align:middle line:90%
It has more stress.

00:24:09.690 --> 00:24:12.010 align:middle line:84%
And you can actually
see that from actually

00:24:12.010 --> 00:24:14.610 align:middle line:84%
the breaking behavior of
thermally strengthened glass

00:24:14.610 --> 00:24:15.890 align:middle line:90%
and tempered glass.

00:24:15.890 --> 00:24:18.390 align:middle line:84%
For thermally strengthened
glass, when it breaks,

00:24:18.390 --> 00:24:20.610 align:middle line:84%
it's behaving in
a way very similar

00:24:20.610 --> 00:24:22.930 align:middle line:90%
to just an untreated glass.

00:24:22.930 --> 00:24:27.530 align:middle line:84%
You end up with big shards
with sharp edges and corners,

00:24:27.530 --> 00:24:30.210 align:middle line:84%
which can be dangerous
to users, of course.

00:24:30.210 --> 00:24:33.650 align:middle line:84%
For thermally tempered
glass, when they break,

00:24:33.650 --> 00:24:37.050 align:middle line:84%
they tend to break into small
pieces, tiny little pieces,

00:24:37.050 --> 00:24:39.330 align:middle line:84%
in lots of cases, also
with rounded corners.

00:24:39.330 --> 00:24:41.670 align:middle line:84%
So it's actually
safer to use this.

00:24:41.670 --> 00:24:43.250 align:middle line:90%
There are downsides, though.

00:24:43.250 --> 00:24:45.090 align:middle line:84%
For thermally
tempered glass, they

00:24:45.090 --> 00:24:49.050 align:middle line:84%
have the risk of
spontaneous breaking.

00:24:49.050 --> 00:24:50.610 align:middle line:90%
That happened to me actually.

00:24:50.610 --> 00:24:54.490 align:middle line:84%
Like, the microwave oven
glass door in my home?

00:24:54.490 --> 00:24:56.570 align:middle line:84%
One day, we wake up
and it's completely

00:24:56.570 --> 00:25:00.077 align:middle line:90%
shattered for no reason.

00:25:00.077 --> 00:25:01.410 align:middle line:90%
Well, there's actually a reason.

00:25:01.410 --> 00:25:02.470 align:middle line:90%
We won't talk about it.

00:25:02.470 --> 00:25:05.270 align:middle line:84%
But apparently, nobody tried
to touch it or whatever.

00:25:05.270 --> 00:25:06.070 align:middle line:90%
It just broke.

00:25:06.070 --> 00:25:07.990 align:middle line:90%
OK, so it does happen.

00:25:07.990 --> 00:25:10.800 align:middle line:84%
Any tempered glass products,
it could break spontaneously.

00:25:10.800 --> 00:25:15.042 align:middle line:84%
The reason for that is
because of-- well, we're

00:25:15.042 --> 00:25:16.500 align:middle line:84%
going to talk about
it in a second.

00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:18.792 align:middle line:84%
But before that, I want to
mention that that's actually

00:25:18.792 --> 00:25:22.613 align:middle line:84%
because of the very high tensile
stress inside the material.

00:25:22.613 --> 00:25:24.780 align:middle line:84%
If you have large compressive
stress on the surface,

00:25:24.780 --> 00:25:26.820 align:middle line:84%
obviously, you have
high tensile stress.

00:25:26.820 --> 00:25:29.080 align:middle line:84%
The tensile stress region
is the Achilles heel

00:25:29.080 --> 00:25:32.060 align:middle line:84%
for this kind of
thermally tempered glass.

00:25:32.060 --> 00:25:33.480 align:middle line:84%
And because of
defects that we're

00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:34.700 align:middle line:84%
going to talk about
in a couple of slides,

00:25:34.700 --> 00:25:36.992 align:middle line:84%
that's what's causing this
kind of spontaneous breakage

00:25:36.992 --> 00:25:38.557 align:middle line:90%
in the tempered glass.

00:25:38.557 --> 00:25:40.640 align:middle line:84%
For heat-strengthened
glass, because of the stress

00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:44.860 align:middle line:84%
is very low, you
don't have that risk.

00:25:44.860 --> 00:25:46.440 align:middle line:84%
Now I'm actually
going to show you--

00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:48.187 align:middle line:84%
I already showed the
YouTube video there.

00:25:48.187 --> 00:25:50.020 align:middle line:84%
The reason I want to
show this YouTube video

00:25:50.020 --> 00:25:53.640 align:middle line:84%
is because Prince Rupert's drop,
which you see in the Glass Lab

00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:59.640 align:middle line:84%
demo, represents the
ultimate or extreme example

00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:02.120 align:middle line:90%
of thermal tempering of glasses.

00:26:02.120 --> 00:26:05.100 align:middle line:84%
So because of this
extremely fast cooling rate,

00:26:05.100 --> 00:26:06.900 align:middle line:84%
you're actually
starting not from 600 C.

00:26:06.900 --> 00:26:08.160 align:middle line:84%
You're starting from
molten glass which

00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:09.285 align:middle line:90%
is even higher temperature.

00:26:09.285 --> 00:26:12.020 align:middle line:84%
So you quickly cool
down through a liquid.

00:26:12.020 --> 00:26:15.200 align:middle line:84%
This gives rise to extremely
high compressive stress build-up

00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:17.000 align:middle line:90%
in the Prince Rupert's drop.

00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:21.760 align:middle line:84%
And it's so strong that it can
actually withstand bullets.

00:26:21.760 --> 00:26:25.568 align:middle line:84%
So I'm going to show
you this video here.

00:26:25.568 --> 00:26:27.950 align:middle line:90%
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]

00:26:27.950 --> 00:26:29.312 align:middle line:90%
- All right, Keith.

00:26:29.312 --> 00:26:30.520 align:middle line:90%
This is Prince Rupert's drop.

00:26:30.520 --> 00:26:31.853 align:middle line:90%
JUEJUN HU: This is the real one.

00:26:31.853 --> 00:26:34.880 align:middle line:84%
- Prince Rupert's
drop, the [INAUDIBLE].

00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:38.620 align:middle line:84%
Papers submitted from
1660 to the Royal Society.

00:26:38.620 --> 00:26:40.460 align:middle line:90%
So this is the very early stuff.

00:26:40.460 --> 00:26:41.620 align:middle line:90%
- Hey, it's me, Destin.

00:26:41.620 --> 00:26:42.620 align:middle line:90%
Welcome back to SmarterEveryDay.

00:26:42.620 --> 00:26:44.080 align:middle line:84%
I am in the basement
of the Royal

00:26:44.080 --> 00:26:45.660 align:middle line:90%
Society in London, England.

00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:47.980 align:middle line:84%
And this is Keith,
the head librarian.

00:26:47.980 --> 00:26:50.020 align:middle line:84%
And he has a special
paper written by who?

00:26:50.020 --> 00:26:51.260 align:middle line:90%
- Sir Robert Moray.

00:26:51.260 --> 00:26:53.540 align:middle line:84%
- And it's about the
Prince Rupert's drop.

00:26:53.540 --> 00:26:54.300 align:middle line:90%
- That's right.

00:26:54.300 --> 00:26:55.300 align:middle line:90%
- Can you show it to me?

00:26:55.300 --> 00:26:58.400 align:middle line:84%
- Yep, so here we have
an account of the glass

00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:00.688 align:middle line:90%
drops by Sir Robert Moray.

00:27:00.688 --> 00:27:01.980 align:middle line:90%
- Will you show me the drawing?

00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:03.020 align:middle line:90%
The famous drawing?

00:27:03.020 --> 00:27:05.320 align:middle line:90%
- So just turn over the pages.

00:27:05.320 --> 00:27:09.900 align:middle line:84%
"So is a kingdom one and strong,
but when the top is broken

00:27:09.900 --> 00:27:11.340 align:middle line:90%
shivers into men."

00:27:11.340 --> 00:27:13.920 align:middle line:84%
- So the strength
of the Prince Rupert

00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:16.680 align:middle line:84%
was recognized way back in the
day, [? even in ?] the beginning

00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:17.820 align:middle line:90%
of the Royal Society.

00:27:17.820 --> 00:27:18.720 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE]

00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:19.250 align:middle line:90%
- It is.

00:27:19.250 --> 00:27:20.500 align:middle line:90%
JUEJUN HU: Don't tell me that.

00:27:20.500 --> 00:27:23.430 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:27:23.430 --> 00:27:25.680 align:middle line:90%
- I was fascinated by them.

00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:27.100 align:middle line:84%
- They were
fascinated back then.

00:27:27.100 --> 00:27:28.142 align:middle line:90%
I'm still fascinated now.

00:27:28.142 --> 00:27:30.517 align:middle line:84%
But today, we're going to use
some of the best technology

00:27:30.517 --> 00:27:31.500 align:middle line:90%
that we have available.

00:27:31.500 --> 00:27:33.083 align:middle line:84%
We're going to use
a high-speed camera

00:27:33.083 --> 00:27:36.200 align:middle line:84%
and record a bullet striking the
bulb over Prince Rupert's drop

00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:39.680 align:middle line:84%
at several hundred
thousand frames per second.

00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:41.160 align:middle line:90%
Let's go get smarter every day.

00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:42.180 align:middle line:90%
All right, goggle up.

00:27:42.180 --> 00:27:43.100 align:middle line:90%
Science is about to happen.

00:27:43.100 --> 00:27:44.920 align:middle line:84%
The first video I made about
the Prince Rupert's drop here

00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:46.720 align:middle line:84%
at Lookout Mountain
[INAUDIBLE] was

00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:49.200 align:middle line:84%
about why the Prince
Rupert's drop was so strong.

00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:51.050 align:middle line:84%
Today, we're going
to test the limits.

00:27:51.050 --> 00:27:52.800 align:middle line:84%
If you haven't seen
that video, you really

00:27:52.800 --> 00:27:54.320 align:middle line:84%
need to watch it
because you have

00:27:54.320 --> 00:27:57.520 align:middle line:84%
to understand what we're dealing
with before this video will make

00:27:57.520 --> 00:27:58.460 align:middle line:90%
any sense.

00:27:58.460 --> 00:28:00.040 align:middle line:90%
This is the setup.

00:28:00.040 --> 00:28:04.100 align:middle line:84%
I've got a .22 rifle aimed
at a Prince Rupert's drop.

00:28:04.100 --> 00:28:06.150 align:middle line:84%
I've got a high-speed
camera right here.

00:28:06.150 --> 00:28:10.070 align:middle line:84%
This is a v2511 We're going to
run it over 100,000 frames per

00:28:10.070 --> 00:28:10.610 align:middle line:90%
second.

00:28:10.610 --> 00:28:13.350 align:middle line:84%
So I've got the rifle
aligned so that we should

00:28:13.350 --> 00:28:14.850 align:middle line:90%
hit the Prince Rupert's drop.

00:28:14.850 --> 00:28:16.290 align:middle line:84%
The resolution is going
to be a little bit lower,

00:28:16.290 --> 00:28:18.082 align:middle line:84%
because that's what
you have to do in order

00:28:18.082 --> 00:28:19.288 align:middle line:90%
to get so much speed.

00:28:19.288 --> 00:28:20.330 align:middle line:90%
But it should be awesome.

00:28:20.330 --> 00:28:20.850 align:middle line:90%
Here we go.

00:28:20.850 --> 00:28:21.810 align:middle line:90%
Get your goggles on.

00:28:21.810 --> 00:28:22.510 align:middle line:90%
Let's do it.

00:28:22.510 --> 00:28:25.070 align:middle line:84%
My Prince Rupert's
drop is wobbling,

00:28:25.070 --> 00:28:27.210 align:middle line:90%
so I have to time the bullet.

Look at the bullet [INAUDIBLE].

00:28:47.150 --> 00:28:48.250 align:middle line:90%
And this is what happened?

00:28:48.250 --> 00:28:54.430 align:middle line:90%


00:28:54.430 --> 00:28:55.635 align:middle line:90%

JUEJUN HU: So the
Prince Rupert's drop

00:29:06.190 --> 00:29:09.910 align:middle line:84%
is intact by creating
this elastic [INAUDIBLE]

00:29:09.910 --> 00:29:11.090 align:middle line:90%
probably to tail.

[LAUGHS]

00:29:13.286 --> 00:29:16.950 align:middle line:84%
- The bullet did not break
the Prince Rupert's drop.

00:29:16.950 --> 00:29:18.870 align:middle line:84%
It looks like it
creates a shockwave that

00:29:18.870 --> 00:29:20.790 align:middle line:90%
runs down the tail.

00:29:20.790 --> 00:29:23.870 align:middle line:84%
And then the tail
shakes, breaks, and then

00:29:23.870 --> 00:29:25.350 align:middle line:90%
breaks it back the other way.

00:29:25.350 --> 00:29:27.030 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to do this
several more times

00:29:27.030 --> 00:29:28.590 align:middle line:90%
because that is beautiful.

about that point.

try that at home.

And if those jokers back
in the 1600s had this kind

00:30:07.230 --> 00:30:09.973 align:middle line:84%
of technology, they would have
written way more interesting

00:30:09.973 --> 00:30:10.890 align:middle line:90%

00:30:10.890 --> 00:30:13.710 align:middle line:84%
Not that they didn't do a good
job because they're awesome.

can skip the video.

He's just going to try to
shoot it multiple times.

00:30:21.150 --> 00:30:23.350 align:middle line:90%
I think we can move over here.

00:30:23.350 --> 00:30:25.470 align:middle line:84%
There's somewhere
[? where it is ?] more clear.

00:30:25.470 --> 00:30:27.870 align:middle line:84%
OK, let me try to show
you something, a slightly

00:30:27.870 --> 00:30:28.970 align:middle line:90%
different video here.

00:30:28.970 --> 00:30:35.390 align:middle line:84%
So the same guy
obviously gets fascinated

00:30:35.390 --> 00:30:37.270 align:middle line:90%
with this kind of experiment.

00:30:37.270 --> 00:30:40.270 align:middle line:84%
He then somehow got
an AK-47 and then

00:30:40.270 --> 00:30:42.193 align:middle line:84%
tries to shoot
Prince Rupert's drop.

- Welcome back to
SmarterEveryDay.

00:30:43.610 --> 00:30:45.850 align:middle line:84%
I've been waiting on a
sunny day to do this.

00:30:45.850 --> 00:30:47.310 align:middle line:84%
If you remember
the last video, I

00:30:47.310 --> 00:30:49.790 align:middle line:84%
fired a .38 special
versus a Prince Rupert's

00:30:49.790 --> 00:30:51.670 align:middle line:84%
drop and the Prince
Rupert's drop won.

00:30:51.670 --> 00:30:53.170 align:middle line:84%
Well, we're going
to fix that today.

00:30:53.170 --> 00:30:54.310 align:middle line:84%
We've got the high-speed
camera back out.

[END PLAYBACK]

00:30:54.893 --> 00:30:57.070 align:middle line:84%
JUEJUN HU: Let me call
that fractal luminescence.

00:30:57.070 --> 00:30:59.470 align:middle line:84%
It has nothing to do
with amorphous structure.

00:30:59.470 --> 00:31:02.130 align:middle line:84%
It has to do with
polar chemical bonds.

00:31:02.130 --> 00:31:03.878 align:middle line:84%
So if I have [? a ?]
polar chemical bond,

00:31:03.878 --> 00:31:06.170 align:middle line:84%
it means that I have charge
transfer between the atoms.

00:31:06.170 --> 00:31:07.450 align:middle line:90%
So we actually break it quickly.

00:31:07.450 --> 00:31:08.790 align:middle line:84%
Turns out some of
the charges actually

00:31:08.790 --> 00:31:09.870 align:middle line:90%
remain on the two paths.

00:31:09.870 --> 00:31:11.690 align:middle line:84%
And those charges have
to relax somewhere.

00:31:11.690 --> 00:31:13.510 align:middle line:84%
So eventually, they
relax essentially

00:31:13.510 --> 00:31:16.970 align:middle line:90%
by going across the bandgap.

00:31:16.970 --> 00:31:18.830 align:middle line:84%
And that goes into
the form of photons.

00:31:18.830 --> 00:31:22.310 align:middle line:84%
So that's basically
what happens there.

00:31:22.310 --> 00:31:24.350 align:middle line:84%
OK, so bottom line, what
you have seen here--

00:31:24.350 --> 00:31:27.470 align:middle line:84%
Prince Rupert's drop
is extremely strong.

00:31:27.470 --> 00:31:29.470 align:middle line:90%
It actually shatters the bullet.

00:31:29.470 --> 00:31:36.613 align:middle line:84%
So about nine years ago, a
group from Purdue University

00:31:36.613 --> 00:31:38.030 align:middle line:84%
figured that maybe
they should try

00:31:38.030 --> 00:31:41.350 align:middle line:84%
to quantify how much
stress is actually

00:31:41.350 --> 00:31:43.070 align:middle line:84%
on the surface of
Prince Rupert's drop.

00:31:43.070 --> 00:31:46.830 align:middle line:84%
And what's the amount of force
it can withstand before it

00:31:46.830 --> 00:31:47.890 align:middle line:90%
actually really breaks?

00:31:47.890 --> 00:31:50.430 align:middle line:84%
So they actually
published a paper.

00:31:50.430 --> 00:31:53.390 align:middle line:84%
And this one actually got
a lot of public attention.

00:31:53.390 --> 00:31:55.230 align:middle line:84%
They were able to
actually directly measure

00:31:55.230 --> 00:31:58.588 align:middle line:84%
the stress level on Prince
Rupert's drop and use

00:31:58.588 --> 00:32:00.380 align:middle line:84%
that to actually compute
the maximum amount

00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:03.140 align:middle line:84%
of compressive load
they actually withstand

00:32:03.140 --> 00:32:05.420 align:middle line:90%
before it actually breaks.

00:32:05.420 --> 00:32:07.940 align:middle line:84%
I'm a bit more worried about
how they actually measured

00:32:07.940 --> 00:32:09.393 align:middle line:90%
the compressive stress.

00:32:09.393 --> 00:32:11.060 align:middle line:84%
The way they measured
compressive stress

00:32:11.060 --> 00:32:15.620 align:middle line:84%
is using a technique
of photoelasticity.

00:32:15.620 --> 00:32:22.740 align:middle line:84%
This is a very, very common way
of measuring stress and strain

00:32:22.740 --> 00:32:27.380 align:middle line:84%
in transparent materials
like glass or plastics.

00:32:27.380 --> 00:32:31.060 align:middle line:84%
The way it works is that you
have of polarized light source.

00:32:31.060 --> 00:32:35.220 align:middle line:84%
So when a polarized light source
[INAUDIBLE] on the material,

00:32:35.220 --> 00:32:38.140 align:middle line:84%
in this case, if it's no
stress, then the light

00:32:38.140 --> 00:32:39.040 align:middle line:90%
will just go through.

00:32:39.040 --> 00:32:40.220 align:middle line:90%
It comes out as transparent.

00:32:40.220 --> 00:32:41.620 align:middle line:90%
Nothing really happens.

00:32:41.620 --> 00:32:45.060 align:middle line:84%
However, if you
apply stress, you're

00:32:45.060 --> 00:32:49.020 align:middle line:84%
essentially changing the
density of electron clouds.

00:32:49.020 --> 00:32:51.240 align:middle line:84%
If you're changing the
density of electron clouds,

00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:53.460 align:middle line:84%
you're going to change
the polarizability

00:32:53.460 --> 00:32:58.270 align:middle line:84%
when they respond to oscillating
electromagnetic waves.

00:32:58.270 --> 00:33:00.500 align:middle line:84%
So essentially, it means
that the refractive index

00:33:00.500 --> 00:33:02.792 align:middle line:84%
is changing when you actually
apply this kind of stress

00:33:02.792 --> 00:33:03.420 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE].

00:33:03.420 --> 00:33:06.460 align:middle line:90%


00:33:06.460 --> 00:33:08.080 align:middle line:90%
Makes sense?

00:33:08.080 --> 00:33:09.840 align:middle line:84%
You essentially
compress the electron.

00:33:09.840 --> 00:33:11.298 align:middle line:84%
You think of a
compressed electron.

00:33:11.298 --> 00:33:14.180 align:middle line:84%
If you compress electron, the
reason you have refractive index

00:33:14.180 --> 00:33:15.980 align:middle line:84%
is because the
electrons are responding

00:33:15.980 --> 00:33:19.020 align:middle line:84%
to oscillating electromagnetic
field due to the light.

00:33:19.020 --> 00:33:22.180 align:middle line:84%
So if that behavior changes,
you change the refractive index.

00:33:22.180 --> 00:33:24.980 align:middle line:84%
Now, the key thing to take away
is that this kind of change

00:33:24.980 --> 00:33:26.960 align:middle line:84%
happens not in an
isotropic manner.

00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:28.420 align:middle line:90%
It happens anisotropically.

00:33:28.420 --> 00:33:30.000 align:middle line:84%
Because you apply
compressive stress,

00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:31.340 align:middle line:84%
you can imagine that
you're squeezing

00:33:31.340 --> 00:33:32.465 align:middle line:90%
material in this direction.

00:33:32.465 --> 00:33:35.440 align:middle line:84%
But the material expands
in the other directions.

00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.940 align:middle line:84%
So now you expect the material
actually becomes anisotropic,

00:33:37.940 --> 00:33:40.300 align:middle line:84%
even though it started
out isotropically.

00:33:40.300 --> 00:33:42.260 align:middle line:84%
It becomes a uniaxial
material that

00:33:42.260 --> 00:33:44.700 align:middle line:84%
goes along the direction
of the other stress.

00:33:44.700 --> 00:33:47.400 align:middle line:84%
It has a principal axis
aligned with that direction.

00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:51.220 align:middle line:84%
So what photoelasticity
is looking at

00:33:51.220 --> 00:33:56.520 align:middle line:84%
is essentially birefringent
materials or birefringence

00:33:56.520 --> 00:33:57.220 align:middle line:90%
in materials.

00:33:57.220 --> 00:34:00.860 align:middle line:90%


00:34:00.860 --> 00:34:03.140 align:middle line:84%
Birefringence just
means that the material

00:34:03.140 --> 00:34:09.820 align:middle line:84%
has anisotropic refractive
index distribution.

00:34:09.820 --> 00:34:11.580 align:middle line:84%
So if a polarized
light [INAUDIBLE]

00:34:11.580 --> 00:34:13.820 align:middle line:84%
on a birefringent
material, it's going

00:34:13.820 --> 00:34:19.860 align:middle line:84%
to split into two radiations
or two light beams.

00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:21.320 align:middle line:84%
One is called
ordinary light beam,

00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:23.620 align:middle line:84%
the other called
extraordinary light beam.

00:34:23.620 --> 00:34:26.400 align:middle line:84%
They will then propagate along
slightly different directions.

00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:28.239 align:middle line:84%
So then when they
come off the material,

00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:30.659 align:middle line:84%
if you put another
polarizer at the end,

00:34:30.659 --> 00:34:33.260 align:middle line:84%
the two beams are going to
recombine at the polarizer

00:34:33.260 --> 00:34:34.900 align:middle line:90%
and they will interfere.

00:34:34.900 --> 00:34:38.380 align:middle line:84%
So now it depends on how
much birefringence you have,

00:34:38.380 --> 00:34:42.616 align:middle line:84%
which alters the path lengths of
the two different light beams.

00:34:42.616 --> 00:34:44.199 align:middle line:84%
You may get constructive
interference.

00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:46.100 align:middle line:84%
You may get destructive
interference.

00:34:46.100 --> 00:34:48.817 align:middle line:84%
So you will essentially come up
with essentially a bright, dark

00:34:48.817 --> 00:34:50.900 align:middle line:84%
pattern if you use essentially
monochromatic laser

00:34:50.900 --> 00:34:52.190 align:middle line:90%
light to illuminate material.

00:34:52.190 --> 00:34:54.690 align:middle line:84%
So for that, you can infer
how much stress you have.

00:34:54.690 --> 00:34:57.250 align:middle line:84%
Or if you illuminate
it using essentially

00:34:57.250 --> 00:34:58.930 align:middle line:84%
a white light
source, you come up

00:34:58.930 --> 00:35:00.610 align:middle line:84%
with color patterns,
color fringes

00:35:00.610 --> 00:35:03.027 align:middle line:84%
like what I'm showing here,
because different [? colors ?]

00:35:03.027 --> 00:35:04.690 align:middle line:84%
essentially interfere
differently.

00:35:04.690 --> 00:35:08.070 align:middle line:84%
So I can actually show
you how that works.

00:35:08.070 --> 00:35:09.310 align:middle line:90%
I brought along with me--

00:35:09.310 --> 00:35:10.310 align:middle line:90%
I'm going to show you.

00:35:10.310 --> 00:35:13.770 align:middle line:84%
I have of polarized
light source.

00:35:13.770 --> 00:35:18.450 align:middle line:84%
Any of you want to guess what's
the polarized light source?

00:35:18.450 --> 00:35:20.690 align:middle line:90%
My screen.

00:35:20.690 --> 00:35:22.542 align:middle line:84%
Most of your laptop
screens are polarized.

00:35:22.542 --> 00:35:24.250 align:middle line:84%
You can come around
here and take a look.

00:35:24.250 --> 00:35:26.470 align:middle line:84%
We can probably take
a video after later.

00:35:26.470 --> 00:35:27.310 align:middle line:90%
Oh I know.

00:35:27.310 --> 00:35:29.930 align:middle line:90%


00:35:29.930 --> 00:35:35.330 align:middle line:84%
So this is basically
just white, nothing.

00:35:35.330 --> 00:35:39.130 align:middle line:90%


00:35:39.130 --> 00:35:40.310 align:middle line:90%
This is a polarizer.

00:35:40.310 --> 00:35:44.367 align:middle line:90%


00:35:44.367 --> 00:35:46.450 align:middle line:84%
OK, this is [INAUDIBLE]
the polarization direction

00:35:46.450 --> 00:35:50.110 align:middle line:90%
line, turn around, stuck.

00:35:50.110 --> 00:35:55.070 align:middle line:84%
OK, so now we'll do it in a
cross polarized orientation.

00:35:55.070 --> 00:35:56.037 align:middle line:90%
We'll put it like this.

00:35:56.037 --> 00:35:58.370 align:middle line:84%
You put the component that
actually has intrinsic stress

00:35:58.370 --> 00:36:01.050 align:middle line:90%
or strain in there.

00:36:01.050 --> 00:36:03.630 align:middle line:84%
And then you will see
color fringes immediately.

00:36:03.630 --> 00:36:14.570 align:middle line:90%


00:36:14.570 --> 00:36:16.310 align:middle line:84%
It's very strange
very, very-- strange.

00:36:16.310 --> 00:36:18.270 align:middle line:84%
Now the reason this is
a very heavily strained.

00:36:18.270 --> 00:36:19.990 align:middle line:90%
Remember how these are made?

00:36:19.990 --> 00:36:22.810 align:middle line:84%
It's the same way
as blow molding.

00:36:22.810 --> 00:36:24.210 align:middle line:90%
That's a technical term.

00:36:24.210 --> 00:36:26.270 align:middle line:84%
You have a [INAUDIBLE],
and then you blow it.

00:36:26.270 --> 00:36:28.890 align:middle line:84%
So there's very large plastic
deformation takes place

00:36:28.890 --> 00:36:30.473 align:middle line:84%
when making this
kind of containers.

00:36:30.473 --> 00:36:32.390 align:middle line:84%
So that's why there's
lots of residual stress.

00:36:32.390 --> 00:36:35.610 align:middle line:84%
And that's why you see a very
strong photoelasticity there.

00:36:35.610 --> 00:36:38.210 align:middle line:90%
This is for amorphous polymer.

00:36:38.210 --> 00:36:41.110 align:middle line:84%
I also bring along with me
another piece I got from Amazon.

00:36:41.110 --> 00:36:43.610 align:middle line:84%
This is actually a glass
[? butcher ?] ball made

00:36:43.610 --> 00:36:45.390 align:middle line:90%
of a thermally tempered glass.

00:36:45.390 --> 00:36:47.610 align:middle line:84%
I mean, it's a lot more
uniform, so you don't see

00:36:47.610 --> 00:36:49.030 align:middle line:90%
a lot of stress accumulation.

00:36:49.030 --> 00:36:50.930 align:middle line:84%
However, I probably
need someone to help me

00:36:50.930 --> 00:36:52.350 align:middle line:90%
hold in this orientation here.

00:36:52.350 --> 00:36:55.050 align:middle line:90%


00:36:55.050 --> 00:36:56.850 align:middle line:90%
Orthogonal direction.

00:36:56.850 --> 00:36:59.435 align:middle line:84%
So in most regions, you
don't see any stress there.

00:36:59.435 --> 00:37:00.310 align:middle line:90%
I mean, a little bit.

00:37:00.310 --> 00:37:05.170 align:middle line:84%
You see a little bit of color
change right at the corner.

00:37:05.170 --> 00:37:06.790 align:middle line:84%
Now you can rotate
it by 90 degrees,

00:37:06.790 --> 00:37:08.030 align:middle line:84%
you actually see a
different pattern there,

00:37:08.030 --> 00:37:09.072 align:middle line:90%
slightly different color.

00:37:09.072 --> 00:37:10.450 align:middle line:90%
Rotate it.

00:37:10.450 --> 00:37:14.593 align:middle line:84%
So this is where you actually
get more stress accumulation,

00:37:14.593 --> 00:37:17.010 align:middle line:84%
obviously, because of geometry,
because the cooling is not

00:37:17.010 --> 00:37:18.292 align:middle line:90%
very uniform at corners.

00:37:18.292 --> 00:37:20.250 align:middle line:84%
So that's why you accumulate
more stress there.

00:37:20.250 --> 00:37:21.770 align:middle line:84%
So you can use this
way actually to analyze

00:37:21.770 --> 00:37:23.970 align:middle line:84%
any [? residual ?] stress,
any transparent component

00:37:23.970 --> 00:37:25.270 align:middle line:90%
by just buying that.

00:37:25.270 --> 00:37:27.870 align:middle line:84%
That's like half a
dollar polarizing film.

00:37:27.870 --> 00:37:29.770 align:middle line:90%
And with a laptop, you do that.

00:37:29.770 --> 00:37:31.850 align:middle line:84%
You can get polarized
light, actually.

00:37:31.850 --> 00:37:33.070 align:middle line:90%
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE].

00:37:33.070 --> 00:37:35.592 align:middle line:90%


00:37:35.592 --> 00:37:37.550 align:middle line:84%
JUEJUN HU: You can get
natural polarized light.

00:37:37.550 --> 00:37:39.467 align:middle line:84%
Just look at reflected
light on water surfaces

00:37:39.467 --> 00:37:40.970 align:middle line:90%
and that kind of stuff.

00:37:40.970 --> 00:37:43.930 align:middle line:84%
The reflected light in
lots of cases is polarized.

00:37:43.930 --> 00:37:44.950 align:middle line:90%
I won't go into why.

00:37:44.950 --> 00:37:46.380 align:middle line:84%
If you're interested
in learning,

00:37:46.380 --> 00:37:47.820 align:middle line:90%
why, go to my 346 class.

00:37:47.820 --> 00:37:49.440 align:middle line:90%
[CHUCKLES]

00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:54.400 align:middle line:84%
OK, so that's basically how they
actually quantify the strain

00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:56.000 align:middle line:90%
level in Prince Rupert's drop.

00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:58.457 align:middle line:84%
I will directly jump
to the conclusion.

00:37:58.457 --> 00:38:00.040 align:middle line:84%
This is a surface
stress they measure.

00:38:00.040 --> 00:38:05.280 align:middle line:84%
They measure surface stress
up to 700 megapascals,

00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:08.800 align:middle line:84%
which is 7,000 times
atmospheric pressure--

00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:10.493 align:middle line:90%
enormous.

00:38:10.493 --> 00:38:13.160 align:middle line:84%
And that's why-- now if you look
at the [? converse ?] tool, how

00:38:13.160 --> 00:38:15.517 align:middle line:84%
much compressive load
this Prince Rupert's drop

00:38:15.517 --> 00:38:16.100 align:middle line:90%
can withstand?

00:38:16.100 --> 00:38:17.160 align:middle line:90%
A tiny little bit.

00:38:17.160 --> 00:38:22.480 align:middle line:84%
It can withstand the compressed
load exceeding 10,000 newtons.

00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:25.840 align:middle line:90%
That's more than a ton.

00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:28.097 align:middle line:84%
So in order to break
that Prince Rupert's drop

00:38:28.097 --> 00:38:30.680 align:middle line:84%
from the front side, you need
to put a load of more than a ton

00:38:30.680 --> 00:38:31.520 align:middle line:90%
to break it.

00:38:31.520 --> 00:38:35.760 align:middle line:84%
That's why next time, if you see
on YouTube, people will try to,

00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:37.260 align:middle line:84%
they try to put all
kinds of things.

00:38:37.260 --> 00:38:41.360 align:middle line:84%
They try to smash it, they do
whatever, it doesn't break.

00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:42.440 align:middle line:90%
That's far from breaking.

00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:45.780 align:middle line:84%
You need a ton of mass to
actually really break it.

00:38:45.780 --> 00:38:48.420 align:middle line:84%
So don't be too surprised if
you see that kind of video.

00:38:48.420 --> 00:38:51.520 align:middle line:84%
OK, so bottom line-- this is
essentially compressive strength

00:38:51.520 --> 00:38:52.840 align:middle line:90%
at its finest.

00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:56.600 align:middle line:84%
You can really get to extremely,
extremely strong glasses

00:38:56.600 --> 00:38:58.262 align:middle line:84%
by just doing this
kind of treatment.

00:38:58.262 --> 00:38:59.720 align:middle line:84%
All right, now
[? it comes ?] back,

00:38:59.720 --> 00:39:02.160 align:middle line:84%
I have mentioned that
there's a Achilles

00:39:02.160 --> 00:39:05.520 align:middle line:84%
heel for Prince Rupert's
drop because they

00:39:05.520 --> 00:39:07.680 align:middle line:90%
break spontaneously.

00:39:07.680 --> 00:39:09.360 align:middle line:90%
Here comes the problem.

00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:11.660 align:middle line:84%
So if you have any defects
inside the material,

00:39:11.660 --> 00:39:16.160 align:middle line:84%
if you have any cracks in
the tensile strain region,

00:39:16.160 --> 00:39:18.360 align:middle line:84%
then those cracks can
very easily propagate,

00:39:18.360 --> 00:39:20.520 align:middle line:84%
and then lead to eventually
catastrophic failure.

00:39:20.520 --> 00:39:23.320 align:middle line:84%
Now unfortunately,
there's one kind of defect

00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:25.620 align:middle line:84%
that's almost universally
present in all glasses.

00:39:25.620 --> 00:39:27.380 align:middle line:84%
It's very difficult
to eliminate.

00:39:27.380 --> 00:39:29.600 align:middle line:90%
It's a nickel sulfide.

00:39:29.600 --> 00:39:32.640 align:middle line:84%
Now, nickel sulfide,
where it comes from,

00:39:32.640 --> 00:39:34.945 align:middle line:90%
people are not totally clear.

00:39:34.945 --> 00:39:36.320 align:middle line:84%
People sometimes
add a little bit

00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:38.520 align:middle line:90%
of sulfur in the glass batch.

00:39:38.520 --> 00:39:40.420 align:middle line:84%
Sulfur is called
the fining agent.

00:39:40.420 --> 00:39:42.580 align:middle line:84%
It helps to reduce
viscosity of glass melt,

00:39:42.580 --> 00:39:44.220 align:middle line:84%
so it makes it a bit
easier to process.

00:39:44.220 --> 00:39:45.595 align:middle line:84%
So sometimes people
intentionally

00:39:45.595 --> 00:39:47.280 align:middle line:84%
add a little bit
of sulfur there.

00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:50.680 align:middle line:90%
But nickel is an impurity.

00:39:50.680 --> 00:39:52.280 align:middle line:90%
Where does it come from?

00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:53.420 align:middle line:90%
People don't really know.

00:39:53.420 --> 00:39:55.320 align:middle line:84%
It may be coming from
a raw ingredient.

00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:59.760 align:middle line:84%
It may be coming from the
stainless steel handling

00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:02.268 align:middle line:84%
instruments, some powders
getting there or whatever.

00:40:02.268 --> 00:40:04.060 align:middle line:84%
But there's trace
amounts of nickel anyway.

00:40:04.060 --> 00:40:07.600 align:middle line:84%
So in the end, it forms
this nickel sulfide

00:40:07.600 --> 00:40:10.000 align:middle line:90%
in the form of inclusion.

00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:12.640 align:middle line:84%
The reason nickel sulfide
is so problematic is

00:40:12.640 --> 00:40:14.800 align:middle line:84%
because when you look at
this phase diagram here,

00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:16.840 align:middle line:90%
it has two phases.

00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:19.540 align:middle line:84%
It has a phase-- this is
the high-temperature phase.

00:40:19.540 --> 00:40:22.040 align:middle line:84%
This is the
low-temperature phase.

00:40:22.040 --> 00:40:23.640 align:middle line:84%
So when you are
processing a glass,

00:40:23.640 --> 00:40:25.182 align:middle line:84%
when you're doing
a thermal tempering

00:40:25.182 --> 00:40:27.060 align:middle line:84%
process, the temperature,
if you recall,

00:40:27.060 --> 00:40:29.960 align:middle line:84%
we heat up to about 600 C. And
then start to cool down right.

00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:34.520 align:middle line:84%
600 C nickel sulfide is in
a high temperature phase.

00:40:34.520 --> 00:40:37.200 align:middle line:84%
Now, when you
start to cool down,

00:40:37.200 --> 00:40:42.200 align:middle line:84%
it now has a tendency to convert
to the low-temperature phase.

00:40:42.200 --> 00:40:47.120 align:middle line:84%
It's a slow process because it's
usually kinetically inhibited.

00:40:47.120 --> 00:40:50.480 align:middle line:84%
But once it converts into
the low temperature phase,

00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:52.680 align:middle line:90%
the volume increases.

00:40:52.680 --> 00:40:55.800 align:middle line:84%
The two phases have a
significant volume difference.

00:40:55.800 --> 00:40:57.505 align:middle line:84%
Now, with increased
volume, it's going

00:40:57.505 --> 00:40:58.880 align:middle line:84%
to essentially
create microcracks

00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:02.240 align:middle line:84%
by squeezing on the
glass matrix around it.

00:41:02.240 --> 00:41:05.440 align:middle line:84%
These microcracks is
where the problem happens.

00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:08.280 align:middle line:84%
They can essentially nucleate
much larger cracks, eventually

00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:10.280 align:middle line:84%
leading to catastrophic
failure, because they're

00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:11.400 align:middle line:84%
located in the
inside of the glass

00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:13.260 align:middle line:84%
where nothing prevents
it from opening.

00:41:13.260 --> 00:41:20.640 align:middle line:90%


00:41:20.640 --> 00:41:23.640 align:middle line:84%
Now, you can try to
reduce the incidence

00:41:23.640 --> 00:41:27.680 align:middle line:84%
of this kind of breakage
by having high purity glass

00:41:27.680 --> 00:41:29.480 align:middle line:90%
ingredients and all that stuff.

00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:33.338 align:middle line:84%
It's quite difficult. It's
quite expensive as well.

00:41:33.338 --> 00:41:34.880 align:middle line:84%
The more common way
people are trying

00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:37.720 align:middle line:84%
to eliminate this
kind of failure

00:41:37.720 --> 00:41:40.402 align:middle line:84%
is using a process
called heat soaking.

00:41:40.402 --> 00:41:41.610 align:middle line:90%
Heat soaking is quite simple.

00:41:41.610 --> 00:41:45.370 align:middle line:84%
Essentially, you preheat all the
thermally tempered glass pieces,

00:41:45.370 --> 00:41:48.947 align:middle line:84%
try to accelerate the phase
transition of a nickel sulfide

00:41:48.947 --> 00:41:50.530 align:middle line:84%
to convert into
low-temperature phase.

00:41:50.530 --> 00:41:52.950 align:middle line:84%
So if there are any pieces
that has this kind of inclusion

00:41:52.950 --> 00:41:56.810 align:middle line:84%
there, they may break during the
thermal heat soaking process.

00:41:56.810 --> 00:42:00.230 align:middle line:84%
And therefore, you can
only pick up the good ones.

00:42:00.230 --> 00:42:01.870 align:middle line:84%
Unfortunately, that
process does not

00:42:01.870 --> 00:42:06.190 align:middle line:90%
eliminate all the faulty parts.

00:42:06.190 --> 00:42:10.150 align:middle line:84%
So that's why all the thermally
tempered glass products,

00:42:10.150 --> 00:42:12.390 align:middle line:84%
whether it's the door
on the microwave oven

00:42:12.390 --> 00:42:15.250 align:middle line:84%
or door in your shower
room or whatever,

00:42:15.250 --> 00:42:19.110 align:middle line:84%
architectural glasses all
have the risk of spontaneously

00:42:19.110 --> 00:42:19.610 align:middle line:90%
breaking.

00:42:19.610 --> 00:42:23.110 align:middle line:84%
Even though the probability is
very, very low, it does happen.

00:42:23.110 --> 00:42:24.710 align:middle line:84%
OK, so don't be too
surprised if you

00:42:24.710 --> 00:42:28.190 align:middle line:84%
see some glass pieces suddenly
break into small pieces.

00:42:28.190 --> 00:42:28.945 align:middle line:90%
What do you do?

00:42:28.945 --> 00:42:30.570 align:middle line:84%
Remember what I said
in the last class.

00:42:30.570 --> 00:42:33.110 align:middle line:90%
Do your fractography.

00:42:33.110 --> 00:42:35.408 align:middle line:84%
So this is an example of
a nickel sulfide inclusion

00:42:35.408 --> 00:42:37.950 align:middle line:84%
Well, in fact, you can actually
really do it for photography.

00:42:37.950 --> 00:42:39.150 align:middle line:90%
So what you would do?

00:42:39.150 --> 00:42:42.310 align:middle line:84%
Typically, if you
have some glass broken

00:42:42.310 --> 00:42:44.390 align:middle line:84%
due to this kind of
nickel sulfide intrusion,

00:42:44.390 --> 00:42:48.790 align:middle line:84%
the breaking pattern has this
kind of butterfly geometry.

00:42:48.790 --> 00:42:50.730 align:middle line:84%
It looks like a butterfly
in the center here.

00:42:50.730 --> 00:42:52.230 align:middle line:84%
The reason it looks
like a butterfly

00:42:52.230 --> 00:42:54.050 align:middle line:84%
is because-- we can
zoom in a little bit.

00:42:54.050 --> 00:42:55.750 align:middle line:90%
This is actually what happens.

00:42:55.750 --> 00:43:01.710 align:middle line:84%
Right at this point, right
here, the intersection

00:43:01.710 --> 00:43:04.390 align:middle line:84%
of several of the
radial cracks, this

00:43:04.390 --> 00:43:06.250 align:middle line:90%
is where the defect initiates.

00:43:06.250 --> 00:43:09.990 align:middle line:84%
If you look carefully, most
likely you see a nickel sulfide

00:43:09.990 --> 00:43:11.830 align:middle line:90%
defect right there

00:43:11.830 --> 00:43:13.790 align:middle line:84%
Now, the reason you have
this butterfly pattern

00:43:13.790 --> 00:43:15.970 align:middle line:84%
is because when the
crack forms, initially,

00:43:15.970 --> 00:43:19.610 align:middle line:84%
it propagates radially outwards
from the point of defects.

00:43:19.610 --> 00:43:22.830 align:middle line:84%
And then because you have
a lot of compressive strain

00:43:22.830 --> 00:43:26.830 align:middle line:84%
in a thermally tempered
glass, this compressed strain

00:43:26.830 --> 00:43:29.030 align:middle line:84%
means that there's
lots of elastic energy.

00:43:29.030 --> 00:43:32.810 align:middle line:84%
This elastic energy has to
be released during fracture.

00:43:32.810 --> 00:43:36.450 align:middle line:84%
And they get released in
the form of surface energy.

00:43:36.450 --> 00:43:38.267 align:middle line:84%
That's why thermally
tempered glass breaks

00:43:38.267 --> 00:43:40.350 align:middle line:84%
in such a different way
compared to conventionally

00:43:40.350 --> 00:43:41.790 align:middle line:90%
annealed glasses.

00:43:41.790 --> 00:43:44.750 align:middle line:84%
It doesn't break
in large shards.

00:43:44.750 --> 00:43:48.230 align:middle line:84%
So as the crack propagates,
the excess elastic energy

00:43:48.230 --> 00:43:50.350 align:middle line:84%
is released in the form
of essentially this kind

00:43:50.350 --> 00:43:54.870 align:middle line:84%
of secondary cracks that
go in this direction,

00:43:54.870 --> 00:43:56.473 align:middle line:90%
in the orthogonal direction.

00:43:56.473 --> 00:43:58.890 align:middle line:84%
So because of the interaction
of these two sets of cracks,

00:43:58.890 --> 00:44:01.550 align:middle line:84%
that's why you tend to form this
kind of butterfly-like pattern

00:44:01.550 --> 00:44:02.050 align:middle line:90%
there.

00:44:02.050 --> 00:44:04.610 align:middle line:84%
But this is where the
defect originates.

00:44:04.610 --> 00:44:07.990 align:middle line:90%


00:44:07.990 --> 00:44:10.590 align:middle line:90%
All right, makes sense?

00:44:10.590 --> 00:44:13.042 align:middle line:84%
OK, I forgot to do my
fractography analysis when

00:44:13.042 --> 00:44:14.250 align:middle line:90%
I saw my microwave door open.

00:44:14.250 --> 00:44:15.542 align:middle line:90%
I really should have done that.

00:44:15.542 --> 00:44:16.310 align:middle line:90%
[CHUCKLES]

00:44:16.310 --> 00:44:22.350 align:middle line:84%
Anyway, so it's exactly
because of this issue here

00:44:22.350 --> 00:44:24.790 align:middle line:84%
of spontaneous breakage
when they come up

00:44:24.790 --> 00:44:27.590 align:middle line:84%
with some applications,
like consumer electronics,

00:44:27.590 --> 00:44:29.158 align:middle line:90%
cover glasses for your phones.

00:44:29.158 --> 00:44:30.950 align:middle line:84%
People want to come up
with a different way

00:44:30.950 --> 00:44:32.050 align:middle line:90%
to do strengthening.

00:44:32.050 --> 00:44:35.000 align:middle line:84%
That's where ion exchange or
chemical strengthening come in.

00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:36.900 align:middle line:84%
So I've already
basically mentioned

00:44:36.900 --> 00:44:38.925 align:middle line:90%
about this simple process here.

00:44:38.925 --> 00:44:41.300 align:middle line:84%
The most common way of doing
it is you immerse your glass

00:44:41.300 --> 00:44:44.660 align:middle line:90%
products in a molten salt bath.

00:44:44.660 --> 00:44:46.620 align:middle line:84%
So if the glass
contains sodium, you

00:44:46.620 --> 00:44:48.940 align:middle line:90%
put it in a potassium salt bath.

00:44:48.940 --> 00:44:50.960 align:middle line:84%
Also, if you cannot
contain lithium,

00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:52.900 align:middle line:84%
you can put it in
a sodium salt bath.

00:44:52.900 --> 00:44:54.940 align:middle line:84%
People also use
mixed salt baths.

00:44:54.940 --> 00:44:56.820 align:middle line:84%
Lithium glass can
be simultaneously

00:44:56.820 --> 00:44:59.020 align:middle line:84%
[? ion ?] exchanged in a
mixed salt baths of sodium

00:44:59.020 --> 00:45:00.460 align:middle line:90%
and potassium, for example.

00:45:00.460 --> 00:45:03.988 align:middle line:84%
So then through
interdiffusion process,

00:45:03.988 --> 00:45:05.780 align:middle line:84%
you build up the surface
compressive strain

00:45:05.780 --> 00:45:07.863 align:middle line:84%
in the region where you
have [INAUDIBLE] diffusion

00:45:07.863 --> 00:45:09.380 align:middle line:90%
of the ions.

00:45:09.380 --> 00:45:14.580 align:middle line:84%
The kinetics is described
basically by interdiffusion.

00:45:14.580 --> 00:45:20.740 align:middle line:84%
So what I'm listing here is
the interdiffusion coefficient.

00:45:20.740 --> 00:45:30.380 align:middle line:84%
Now, for those of you who have
taken 3.033, kinetics, or 3.030.

00:45:30.380 --> 00:45:35.300 align:middle line:84%
What's the name of the equation
for interdiffusion coefficient?

OK, this is not
[INAUDIBLE] equation.

00:45:48.340 --> 00:45:50.040 align:middle line:90%
[CHUCKLES] It doesn't matter.

00:45:50.040 --> 00:45:50.940 align:middle line:90%
This is called the--

JUEJUN HU: Nernst-Planck.

00:45:55.838 --> 00:45:56.880 align:middle line:90%
It's about the same time.

00:45:56.880 --> 00:45:58.080 align:middle line:84%
They all lived
[? within the ?] same time.

00:45:58.080 --> 00:46:00.540 align:middle line:84%
But we don't credit
everything to Einstein, OK?

AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE]

00:46:05.020 --> 00:46:07.140 align:middle line:84%
JUEJUN HU: So now the
reason the coefficient

00:46:07.140 --> 00:46:08.620 align:middle line:84%
is a little bit different
from [INAUDIBLE] equation

00:46:08.620 --> 00:46:10.940 align:middle line:84%
is because [INAUDIBLE]
equation describes essentially

00:46:10.940 --> 00:46:13.880 align:middle line:84%
charged neutral particles, like
atoms when they interdiffuse.

00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:15.220 align:middle line:90%
That's what you use.

00:46:15.220 --> 00:46:17.420 align:middle line:84%
For ions, because
they actually carry

00:46:17.420 --> 00:46:21.180 align:middle line:84%
charge, what that means
is [INAUDIBLE] ions move,

00:46:21.180 --> 00:46:24.100 align:middle line:84%
the charge distribution
also modifies.

00:46:24.100 --> 00:46:26.380 align:middle line:84%
And when you change
charge distribution,

00:46:26.380 --> 00:46:28.340 align:middle line:84%
you change internal
electric fields.

00:46:28.340 --> 00:46:31.060 align:middle line:84%
And the electric field
is going to modify again

00:46:31.060 --> 00:46:32.320 align:middle line:90%
the motion of the ions.

00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:35.280 align:middle line:84%
So they are
inter-linked together.

00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:37.900 align:middle line:84%
So that's why for any
interdiffusion process

00:46:37.900 --> 00:46:40.890 align:middle line:84%
in a charged species, you should
not use [INAUDIBLE] equation.

00:46:40.890 --> 00:46:43.140 align:middle line:84%
But rather, you should use
the Nernst-Planck equation.

00:46:43.140 --> 00:46:44.557 align:middle line:84%
That's what I'm
[INAUDIBLE] there.

00:46:44.557 --> 00:46:50.750 align:middle line:90%


00:46:50.750 --> 00:46:52.500 align:middle line:84%
Now, what I want to
mention is that if you

00:46:52.500 --> 00:46:54.920 align:middle line:84%
look at the
Nernst-Planck equation,

00:46:54.920 --> 00:46:56.580 align:middle line:90%
let's see what actually happens.

00:46:56.580 --> 00:46:58.860 align:middle line:84%
So suppose you look
at the glass surface

00:46:58.860 --> 00:47:01.540 align:middle line:84%
where you have about the N
is essentially the amount.

00:47:01.540 --> 00:47:04.640 align:middle line:84%
N is the molar
fraction of the ions.

00:47:04.640 --> 00:47:07.920 align:middle line:84%
D is the diffusion coefficient
of each of the ions.

00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:11.780 align:middle line:84%
So if you have about the same
amount of sodium and potassium

00:47:11.780 --> 00:47:16.260 align:middle line:84%
ions, then if you look
at the denominator here,

00:47:16.260 --> 00:47:19.202 align:middle line:84%
we know that D, the diffusion
coefficient of sodium,

00:47:19.202 --> 00:47:20.660 align:middle line:84%
should be larger
than the diffusion

00:47:20.660 --> 00:47:21.702 align:middle line:90%
coefficient of potassium.

00:47:21.702 --> 00:47:24.320 align:middle line:84%
Because they're smaller, it's
a lot easier to squeeze around.

00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:26.600 align:middle line:84%
So that's why you expect
D sodium to be larger.

00:47:26.600 --> 00:47:32.500 align:middle line:84%
So therefore, the denominator,
this term should be dominant.

00:47:32.500 --> 00:47:34.620 align:middle line:84%
So if this term is
dominant, you can cancel out

00:47:34.620 --> 00:47:37.900 align:middle line:84%
this DNa, the diffusion
coefficient of sodium

00:47:37.900 --> 00:47:39.940 align:middle line:84%
in both numerator
and denominator.

00:47:39.940 --> 00:47:42.660 align:middle line:84%
What is left behind basically
becomes the diffusion

00:47:42.660 --> 00:47:44.940 align:middle line:90%
coefficient of potassium.

00:47:44.940 --> 00:47:46.040 align:middle line:90%
This also makes sense.

00:47:46.040 --> 00:47:46.880 align:middle line:90%
What is this?

00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:49.980 align:middle line:84%
In the interdiffusion
process, the overall kinetics

00:47:49.980 --> 00:47:53.800 align:middle line:84%
is basically dictated by the
slower diffusion species,

00:47:53.800 --> 00:47:56.604 align:middle line:90%
which is the bigger ion.

00:47:56.604 --> 00:47:59.980 align:middle line:84%
Interdiffusion process, the
diffusion coefficient more

00:47:59.980 --> 00:48:02.940 align:middle line:84%
or less equals to a [? decay, ?]
the diffusion coefficient

00:48:02.940 --> 00:48:05.140 align:middle line:84%
of potassium or the
heavy ion species.

00:48:05.140 --> 00:48:09.158 align:middle line:90%


00:48:09.158 --> 00:48:11.700 align:middle line:84%
All right, so now if you notice
a diffusion coefficient, what

00:48:11.700 --> 00:48:14.760 align:middle line:84%
you can also do again goes
back to your kinetics class.

00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:20.620 align:middle line:84%
You can use it to now estimate
what is the diffusion length.

00:48:20.620 --> 00:48:22.740 align:middle line:84%
Diffusion length is given
basically a square root

00:48:22.740 --> 00:48:24.770 align:middle line:84%
of diffusion
coefficient and tau.

00:48:24.770 --> 00:48:28.970 align:middle line:84%
Tau is basically your time
of the diffusion process.

00:48:28.970 --> 00:48:32.130 align:middle line:84%
So the longer you
diffuse, the longer

00:48:32.130 --> 00:48:34.970 align:middle line:84%
you go through the process, the
thicker the surface compressive

00:48:34.970 --> 00:48:35.710 align:middle line:90%
layer gets.

00:48:35.710 --> 00:48:38.870 align:middle line:84%
And that diffusion
length has a name.

00:48:38.870 --> 00:48:41.290 align:middle line:84%
It's called K steps
in the context

00:48:41.290 --> 00:48:43.330 align:middle line:84%
of a chemically
strengthened glass.

00:48:43.330 --> 00:48:46.810 align:middle line:84%
So K steps is basically the
thickness of the surface

00:48:46.810 --> 00:48:49.290 align:middle line:90%
compressive layer.

00:48:49.290 --> 00:48:51.250 align:middle line:84%
For soda-lime glass,
it's typically,

00:48:51.250 --> 00:48:53.330 align:middle line:90%
as I said, about 30 microns-ish.

00:48:53.330 --> 00:48:55.810 align:middle line:84%
People try to modify it by
changing glass chemistry, which

00:48:55.810 --> 00:48:57.290 align:middle line:84%
I'll talk about
in the next slide.

00:48:57.290 --> 00:48:59.450 align:middle line:84%
You can increase the K
steps to close to maybe,

00:48:59.450 --> 00:49:02.930 align:middle line:84%
like, 100 microns in a lot of
consumer electronic products.

00:49:02.930 --> 00:49:04.570 align:middle line:84%
In extreme cases,
they can even reach

00:49:04.570 --> 00:49:07.610 align:middle line:84%
something like about a
millimeter for things

00:49:07.610 --> 00:49:11.650 align:middle line:84%
like glass windows used
in military vehicles.

00:49:11.650 --> 00:49:15.233 align:middle line:84%
They need extremely
high compressive stress.

00:49:15.233 --> 00:49:16.650 align:middle line:84%
Now, there's one
thing I also want

00:49:16.650 --> 00:49:18.470 align:middle line:84%
to mention about
this process here,

00:49:18.470 --> 00:49:20.865 align:middle line:84%
which is different from
thermal tempering process.

00:49:20.865 --> 00:49:22.490 align:middle line:84%
Remember for thermal
tempering process,

00:49:22.490 --> 00:49:25.067 align:middle line:84%
you heat it up to above
the glass transition point

00:49:25.067 --> 00:49:27.650 align:middle line:84%
because you want all the stress
to relax at high temperatures.

00:49:27.650 --> 00:49:30.010 align:middle line:84%
And you cool down to build
up the stress gradient.

00:49:30.010 --> 00:49:32.070 align:middle line:84%
In the chemical
toughening process,

00:49:32.070 --> 00:49:35.490 align:middle line:90%
you never, never exceed Tg.

00:49:35.490 --> 00:49:36.170 align:middle line:90%
Why?

00:49:36.170 --> 00:49:38.250 align:middle line:84%
Above Tg stress, you're
going to get relaxed.

00:49:38.250 --> 00:49:41.050 align:middle line:84%
So if you do your ion
diffusion above Tg,

00:49:41.050 --> 00:49:42.650 align:middle line:84%
then while you're
actually diffusing,

00:49:42.650 --> 00:49:44.790 align:middle line:84%
the stress is also
actively getting relaxed.

00:49:44.790 --> 00:49:46.530 align:middle line:90%
You get nothing.

00:49:46.530 --> 00:49:48.090 align:middle line:84%
So that's the main
difference there.

00:49:48.090 --> 00:49:51.610 align:middle line:84%
Chemical strengthening has
to be performed below Tg.

00:49:51.610 --> 00:49:54.530 align:middle line:84%
So you retain the stress
throughout the process.

00:49:54.530 --> 00:49:59.290 align:middle line:84%
Thermal tempering
has to go above Tg.

00:49:59.290 --> 00:50:03.210 align:middle line:84%
Now, we know that diffusion is
a thermally activated process.

00:50:03.210 --> 00:50:05.530 align:middle line:84%
So higher the temperature,
the faster it diffuses.

00:50:05.530 --> 00:50:07.530 align:middle line:84%
The faster it diffuses,
the larger the K steps,

00:50:07.530 --> 00:50:09.490 align:middle line:84%
the stronger the
glass product gets.

00:50:09.490 --> 00:50:11.690 align:middle line:84%
So that's actually
motivation for people

00:50:11.690 --> 00:50:14.850 align:middle line:84%
to raise the temperature
during the ion exchange process

00:50:14.850 --> 00:50:17.010 align:middle line:90%
just to expedite diffusion.

00:50:17.010 --> 00:50:18.870 align:middle line:90%
Now, Tg sets a limit.

00:50:18.870 --> 00:50:20.810 align:middle line:90%
You cannot really go above Tg.

00:50:20.810 --> 00:50:23.490 align:middle line:84%
So if you want to get the more
efficient chemical strengthening

00:50:23.490 --> 00:50:25.370 align:middle line:84%
process for ion
exchange, you need

00:50:25.370 --> 00:50:28.930 align:middle line:84%
to find glass materials
with higher Tg, which

00:50:28.930 --> 00:50:31.610 align:middle line:84%
means that you can afford doing
ion exchange at relatively

00:50:31.610 --> 00:50:35.570 align:middle line:84%
high temperatures to
expedite the kinetics.

00:50:35.570 --> 00:50:38.050 align:middle line:84%
So we're going to
talk in the next slide

00:50:38.050 --> 00:50:40.850 align:middle line:84%
about some of the strategies,
how to essentially boost

00:50:40.850 --> 00:50:43.625 align:middle line:90%
the ion diffusion kinetics.

00:50:43.625 --> 00:50:45.250 align:middle line:84%
But before that, I
just want to mention

00:50:45.250 --> 00:50:46.370 align:middle line:90%
a couple of quick things.

00:50:46.370 --> 00:50:48.410 align:middle line:84%
One is that in this
kind of simple model,

00:50:48.410 --> 00:50:50.670 align:middle line:84%
we assume the diffusion
coefficient is the constant.

00:50:50.670 --> 00:50:51.443 align:middle line:90%
In fact, it's not.

00:50:51.443 --> 00:50:53.110 align:middle line:84%
It also depends on
compressive strength.

00:50:53.110 --> 00:50:54.330 align:middle line:90%
It's quite intuitive.

00:50:54.330 --> 00:50:57.810 align:middle line:84%
If you have compressive strain,
you actually impede diffusion.

00:50:57.810 --> 00:51:01.490 align:middle line:84%
You can squeeze on ions, slow
down the diffusion kinetics,

00:51:01.490 --> 00:51:03.338 align:middle line:90%
which makes sense.

00:51:03.338 --> 00:51:05.130 align:middle line:84%
The other thing I also
want to mention here

00:51:05.130 --> 00:51:06.530 align:middle line:84%
is about the advantages
of this process, why

00:51:06.530 --> 00:51:08.238 align:middle line:84%
people want to use
chemical strengthening

00:51:08.238 --> 00:51:09.425 align:middle line:90%
versus thermal tempering.

00:51:09.425 --> 00:51:11.550 align:middle line:84%
The first one, obviously,
is that they don't break.

00:51:11.550 --> 00:51:14.570 align:middle line:84%
They don't explode
spontaneously, number one,

00:51:14.570 --> 00:51:17.370 align:middle line:84%
because of the much lower
level of tensile strength

00:51:17.370 --> 00:51:19.400 align:middle line:84%
inside the glass
material-- first thing.

00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:23.760 align:middle line:84%
The second thing is that because
of the surface compressed layer

00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:26.560 align:middle line:84%
of [INAUDIBLE] thing, any
kind of photoelastic changes

00:51:26.560 --> 00:51:28.920 align:middle line:84%
or birefringence
effect is a lot weaker

00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:30.320 align:middle line:90%
because it's such a thin layer.

00:51:30.320 --> 00:51:32.960 align:middle line:84%
So in some kinds of high
[? energy ?] applications,

00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:35.960 align:middle line:84%
these actually lead to less
distortion of the images

00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:38.320 align:middle line:84%
or less essentially
better optical quality.

00:51:38.320 --> 00:51:40.120 align:middle line:84%
So that's one
consideration there.

00:51:40.120 --> 00:51:44.760 align:middle line:84%
The last thing I also want to
mention is that for glass pieces

00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:47.780 align:middle line:84%
that have strange geometries,
not like a flat plane--

00:51:47.780 --> 00:51:50.160 align:middle line:84%
you may have glass
containers, for example,

00:51:50.160 --> 00:51:53.440 align:middle line:84%
if you want to strengthen those
kinds of irregular shaped glass

00:51:53.440 --> 00:51:56.400 align:middle line:84%
products, people usually
don't use thermal tempering

00:51:56.400 --> 00:51:58.400 align:middle line:84%
because this irregular
geometry means

00:51:58.400 --> 00:51:59.740 align:middle line:90%
that cooling is not uniform.

00:51:59.740 --> 00:52:01.440 align:middle line:84%
You're going to build up
lots of internal stress,

00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:02.400 align:middle line:90%
like what I've shown there.

00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:04.260 align:middle line:84%
The corner is actually where
the stress [? gets ?] built up.

00:52:04.260 --> 00:52:05.820 align:middle line:84%
So if you an irregular
shape, you can imagine,

00:52:05.820 --> 00:52:07.237 align:middle line:84%
there is a lot of
residual stress,

00:52:07.237 --> 00:52:09.300 align:middle line:90%
which is harmful for the glass.

00:52:09.300 --> 00:52:11.800 align:middle line:84%
So for strengthening of,
for example, bio bottles

00:52:11.800 --> 00:52:14.400 align:middle line:84%
that people use in the
pharmaceutical industry,

00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:16.040 align:middle line:84%
chemical strengthening
is what they do.

00:52:16.040 --> 00:52:18.603 align:middle line:84%
They immerse the whole thing
into the chemical salt bath.

00:52:18.603 --> 00:52:20.520 align:middle line:84%
The surface is going to
get uniformly diffused

00:52:20.520 --> 00:52:22.920 align:middle line:90%
with the ionic species.

00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:24.543 align:middle line:84%
So that's why,
for these reasons,

00:52:24.543 --> 00:52:25.960 align:middle line:84%
people use chemical
strengthening.

00:52:25.960 --> 00:52:27.820 align:middle line:90%
Yes.

00:52:27.820 --> 00:52:30.080 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: Are
there-- is thickness

00:52:30.080 --> 00:52:33.205 align:middle line:84%
of the glass a constraint on
thermal tempering as well?

00:52:33.205 --> 00:52:34.080 align:middle line:90%
JUEJUN HU: Of course.

00:52:34.080 --> 00:52:35.120 align:middle line:90%
Yeah, I mean, the case that--

00:52:35.120 --> 00:52:37.500 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: If it's too thin like
for your phone or something?

00:52:37.500 --> 00:52:38.960 align:middle line:84%
JUEJUN HU: Yeah, then
you also build up

00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:40.060 align:middle line:90%
a lot of tensile stress.

00:52:40.060 --> 00:52:42.268 align:middle line:84%
Yeah, and it's quite apparent
that the case depth has

00:52:42.268 --> 00:52:45.040 align:middle line:84%
to be considerably smaller than
half of the glass [INAUDIBLE]

00:52:45.040 --> 00:52:46.560 align:middle line:84%
thickness if you
want to eliminate

00:52:46.560 --> 00:52:49.100 align:middle line:84%
the risk of loss of tensile
strength, so same idea.

00:52:49.100 --> 00:52:51.040 align:middle line:90%
Yeah

00:52:51.040 --> 00:52:53.377 align:middle line:84%
And by the way, the
other reason people

00:52:53.377 --> 00:52:54.960 align:middle line:84%
don't use chemical
strengthening also,

00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:56.460 align:middle line:90%
it's a more expensive process.

00:52:56.460 --> 00:52:58.960 align:middle line:84%
[INAUDIBLE] temperature is
really simple [INAUDIBLE].

00:52:58.960 --> 00:52:59.760 align:middle line:90%
That's why.

00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:02.920 align:middle line:84%
So in architectures-- for
example, in my microwave oven,

00:53:02.920 --> 00:53:05.160 align:middle line:84%
that's why they use
thermal tempering, not

00:53:05.160 --> 00:53:07.280 align:middle line:90%
chemical tempering.

00:53:07.280 --> 00:53:09.817 align:middle line:84%
Now, one last thing I also
want to mention here is--

00:53:09.817 --> 00:53:10.900 align:middle line:90%
you see this bullet point.

00:53:10.900 --> 00:53:14.920 align:middle line:84%
It says that only applies to
alkaline earth glasses, which

00:53:14.920 --> 00:53:16.920 align:middle line:90%
makes sense.

00:53:16.920 --> 00:53:19.840 align:middle line:84%
For alkaline, that's what
people use most commonly

00:53:19.840 --> 00:53:21.400 align:middle line:90%
across the industry.

00:53:21.400 --> 00:53:24.495 align:middle line:84%
For example, with sodium, you
use potassium ion exchange.

00:53:24.495 --> 00:53:25.620 align:middle line:90%
That's the most common one.

00:53:25.620 --> 00:53:28.280 align:middle line:84%
Lithium, you can use sodium
or you can use potassium.

00:53:28.280 --> 00:53:31.800 align:middle line:84%
Alkaline earth is really
actually a new process.

00:53:31.800 --> 00:53:35.920 align:middle line:84%
It only was developed
less than a decade ago.

00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:39.000 align:middle line:84%
And the motivation behind
it is that actually,

00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:41.860 align:middle line:84%
for some high-end applications--
especially in electronics,

00:53:41.860 --> 00:53:45.868 align:middle line:84%
people want glass formulations
that's free of alkaline ions.

00:53:45.868 --> 00:53:48.160 align:middle line:84%
The reason people don't like
alkaline ions is that they

00:53:48.160 --> 00:53:49.380 align:middle line:90%
are actually very mobile.

00:53:49.380 --> 00:53:51.100 align:middle line:84%
They tend to diffuse
very, very fast.

00:53:51.100 --> 00:53:53.588 align:middle line:84%
And if you have glass
containing sodium,

00:53:53.588 --> 00:53:55.380 align:middle line:84%
the sodium can easily
diffuse, for example,

00:53:55.380 --> 00:53:56.922 align:middle line:84%
into amorphous
silicon, which is what

00:53:56.922 --> 00:54:00.240 align:middle line:84%
you use to make transistors,
and eventually, essentially

00:54:00.240 --> 00:54:03.660 align:middle line:84%
harm the electronic properties
of semiconductor materials.

00:54:03.660 --> 00:54:07.572 align:middle line:84%
So for those applications,
people want alkaline-free glass.

00:54:07.572 --> 00:54:09.280 align:middle line:84%
But they still want
to chemically toughen

00:54:09.280 --> 00:54:11.280 align:middle line:84%
it to get better
mechanical properties.

00:54:11.280 --> 00:54:14.710 align:middle line:84%
So that's why this is where
the alkaline earth based

00:54:14.710 --> 00:54:16.990 align:middle line:84%
ion exchange process
comes into play.

00:54:16.990 --> 00:54:20.270 align:middle line:84%
Now, the process was only
developed less than 10 years

00:54:20.270 --> 00:54:24.470 align:middle line:84%
ago, basically, because the
alkaline earth sources tend

00:54:24.470 --> 00:54:26.652 align:middle line:90%
to have high melting points.

00:54:26.652 --> 00:54:27.610 align:middle line:90%
They tend to decompose.

00:54:27.610 --> 00:54:29.450 align:middle line:84%
They also can be highly
corrosive, whatever.

00:54:29.450 --> 00:54:31.510 align:middle line:84%
But the problem is this
high melting point.

00:54:31.510 --> 00:54:36.990 align:middle line:84%
Their melting point is higher
than the Tg of most glasses.

00:54:36.990 --> 00:54:38.470 align:middle line:84%
So now you see what
the problem is.

00:54:38.470 --> 00:54:40.250 align:middle line:84%
If you try to do a
molten salt bath,

00:54:40.250 --> 00:54:42.250 align:middle line:84%
the strain will be
relaxed all the time.

00:54:42.250 --> 00:54:44.550 align:middle line:84%
You just cannot
accumulate stress.

00:54:44.550 --> 00:54:49.430 align:middle line:84%
So that's why people
tend to aqueous solutions

00:54:49.430 --> 00:54:52.470 align:middle line:90%
of alkaline earth ions.

00:54:52.470 --> 00:54:54.470 align:middle line:84%
But for aqueous
solution, normally,

00:54:54.470 --> 00:54:56.710 align:middle line:84%
you cannot get to the
temperatures needed to expedite

00:54:56.710 --> 00:54:58.410 align:middle line:90%
the diffusion process.

00:54:58.410 --> 00:55:02.510 align:middle line:84%
So what they will do is put it
in basically a pressure cooker.

00:55:02.510 --> 00:55:05.790 align:middle line:84%
By applying a large
pressure, 45 megapascals,

00:55:05.790 --> 00:55:11.170 align:middle line:84%
you can essentially raise the
boiling point of the liquid.

00:55:11.170 --> 00:55:14.863 align:middle line:84%
In fact, when they do it, they
do it in a supercritical fluid.

00:55:14.863 --> 00:55:17.030 align:middle line:84%
So essentially, that's a
state where you cannot tell

00:55:17.030 --> 00:55:17.715 align:middle line:90%
the difference.

00:55:17.715 --> 00:55:19.590 align:middle line:84%
There's no clear difference
between gas phase

00:55:19.590 --> 00:55:20.630 align:middle line:90%
and liquid phase.

00:55:20.630 --> 00:55:22.510 align:middle line:90%
There's one simple fluid phase.

00:55:22.510 --> 00:55:25.310 align:middle line:84%
So at that high
temperature, still, it

00:55:25.310 --> 00:55:29.070 align:middle line:84%
takes like hours in
the aqueous salt bath

00:55:29.070 --> 00:55:31.150 align:middle line:84%
to get the diffusion
[? there. ?]

00:55:31.150 --> 00:55:31.950 align:middle line:90%
So that's why.

00:55:31.950 --> 00:55:33.190 align:middle line:90%
That answers your question.

00:55:33.190 --> 00:55:35.610 align:middle line:84%
If you just do it in the
thermal tempering process,

00:55:35.610 --> 00:55:36.670 align:middle line:84%
there's very little
salt diffusion

00:55:36.670 --> 00:55:38.295 align:middle line:84%
because there's simply
not enough time.

00:55:38.295 --> 00:55:40.512 align:middle line:84%
Now, the other
interesting finding also,

00:55:40.512 --> 00:55:41.970 align:middle line:84%
if you look at this
particular one,

00:55:41.970 --> 00:55:45.150 align:middle line:84%
they are using barium ions
to replace calcium ions

00:55:45.150 --> 00:55:48.270 align:middle line:84%
in the glass to build
the compressive stress.

00:55:48.270 --> 00:55:51.350 align:middle line:84%
When the barium ion diffuses,
it not only replaces the calcium

00:55:51.350 --> 00:55:54.550 align:middle line:84%
ion, it also displaces
some of the boron

00:55:54.550 --> 00:55:59.310 align:middle line:84%
ions, which is normally
not what you would expect.

00:55:59.310 --> 00:56:01.290 align:middle line:84%
But this is a borosilicate
glass, by the way.

00:56:01.290 --> 00:56:03.550 align:middle line:84%
So anyway, there's some
interesting materials studies

00:56:03.550 --> 00:56:04.883 align:middle line:90%
if you want to see more details.

00:56:04.883 --> 00:56:06.390 align:middle line:84%
This is actually
the seminal paper

00:56:06.390 --> 00:56:08.307 align:middle line:84%
that actually describes
this process developed

00:56:08.307 --> 00:56:10.050 align:middle line:90%
for alkaline earth ion exchange.

00:56:10.050 --> 00:56:13.190 align:middle line:90%


00:56:13.190 --> 00:56:18.350 align:middle line:84%
OK, so now, next
slide, I'm trying

00:56:18.350 --> 00:56:23.470 align:middle line:84%
to summarize how we actually
increase the K steps.

00:56:23.470 --> 00:56:25.270 align:middle line:84%
Increasing K steps
is actually important

00:56:25.270 --> 00:56:26.830 align:middle line:84%
because increased
K steps essentially

00:56:26.830 --> 00:56:29.150 align:middle line:84%
means that you have a
thicker surface layer that's

00:56:29.150 --> 00:56:30.950 align:middle line:90%
under compressive strain right.

00:56:30.950 --> 00:56:33.550 align:middle line:84%
This usually also gives rise
to higher surface compressive

00:56:33.550 --> 00:56:35.550 align:middle line:84%
strain, and therefore
stronger glass products

00:56:35.550 --> 00:56:36.470 align:middle line:90%
after the process.

00:56:36.470 --> 00:56:40.430 align:middle line:90%


00:56:40.430 --> 00:56:43.410 align:middle line:84%
So increasing the K steps
is really a kinetic problem.

00:56:43.410 --> 00:56:45.630 align:middle line:84%
You're trying to expedite
the diffusion kinetics.

00:56:45.630 --> 00:56:48.270 align:middle line:90%


00:56:48.270 --> 00:56:49.950 align:middle line:90%
So some common ways--

00:56:49.950 --> 00:56:53.090 align:middle line:84%
you can essentially apply
additional external stimuli.

00:56:53.090 --> 00:56:54.530 align:middle line:90%
You can use electric fields.

00:56:54.530 --> 00:56:56.450 align:middle line:90%
You can use ultrasonication.

00:56:56.450 --> 00:56:57.710 align:middle line:90%
You can use microwaves.

00:56:57.710 --> 00:56:59.810 align:middle line:84%
They can also expedite
diffusion processes.

00:56:59.810 --> 00:57:01.390 align:middle line:84%
That's one way
people are doing it.

00:57:01.390 --> 00:57:06.458 align:middle line:90%


00:57:06.458 --> 00:57:11.088 align:middle line:84%
Now, the second one, for
a lot of these consumer

00:57:11.088 --> 00:57:12.630 align:middle line:84%
electronic products,
people typically

00:57:12.630 --> 00:57:16.550 align:middle line:90%
use aluminum silicate glasses.

00:57:16.550 --> 00:57:18.250 align:middle line:84%
Now, the reason
they use aluminum,

00:57:18.250 --> 00:57:21.230 align:middle line:84%
you may recall that in
the early lectures when

00:57:21.230 --> 00:57:23.170 align:middle line:84%
we talked about aluminum
silicate glasses,

00:57:23.170 --> 00:57:25.730 align:middle line:84%
aluminum is somewhat
similar to boron.

00:57:25.730 --> 00:57:27.670 align:middle line:84%
It can exist in two
different kinds of states.

00:57:27.670 --> 00:57:30.310 align:middle line:84%
It can either form
non-bridging oxygen

00:57:30.310 --> 00:57:32.390 align:middle line:90%
acting as a network modifier.

00:57:32.390 --> 00:57:35.710 align:middle line:84%
Or it can get converted into
these four-fold coordinated

00:57:35.710 --> 00:57:39.830 align:middle line:84%
states, and it increases the
connectivity of the network.

00:57:39.830 --> 00:57:42.870 align:middle line:84%
So it is exactly the latter
property that was actually

00:57:42.870 --> 00:57:44.710 align:middle line:90%
used in this case here.

00:57:44.710 --> 00:57:47.270 align:middle line:84%
So for this application,
they typically

00:57:47.270 --> 00:57:51.190 align:middle line:84%
use an alkali-alumina
ratio of about 1.

00:57:51.190 --> 00:57:54.430 align:middle line:84%
If you go back to the
lecture, this ratio

00:57:54.430 --> 00:57:57.230 align:middle line:84%
corresponds to where you
have the maximum amount

00:57:57.230 --> 00:58:01.510 align:middle line:84%
of four-fold
coordinated alumina.

00:58:01.510 --> 00:58:03.430 align:middle line:84%
So having more four-fold
coordinated alumina

00:58:03.430 --> 00:58:05.430 align:middle line:84%
means that you have better
network connectivity.

00:58:05.430 --> 00:58:10.020 align:middle line:84%
And therefore, you increase
the Tg of the glass.

00:58:10.020 --> 00:58:11.840 align:middle line:84%
By increasing the
Tg of the glass,

00:58:11.840 --> 00:58:15.060 align:middle line:84%
you can now do your ion exchange
process at high temperatures

00:58:15.060 --> 00:58:18.660 align:middle line:84%
without worrying about
stress relaxation.

00:58:18.660 --> 00:58:20.780 align:middle line:84%
And that's how you can
expedite the kinetics,

00:58:20.780 --> 00:58:23.640 align:middle line:84%
by just essentially
leveraging the Arrhenius law.

00:58:23.640 --> 00:58:27.540 align:middle line:90%


00:58:27.540 --> 00:58:31.100 align:middle line:84%
Now, the next one,
you can use ion pairs

00:58:31.100 --> 00:58:34.180 align:middle line:84%
with less size disparity,
which also makes sense.

00:58:34.180 --> 00:58:35.660 align:middle line:84%
If you have the
two ions [? and ?]

00:58:35.660 --> 00:58:37.920 align:middle line:84%
the exchange process has
a huge size difference,

00:58:37.920 --> 00:58:39.840 align:middle line:84%
it becomes very difficult
for one ion, the bigger one,

00:58:39.840 --> 00:58:41.923 align:middle line:84%
to actually squeeze through
the pocket left behind

00:58:41.923 --> 00:58:42.740 align:middle line:90%
by the smaller one.

00:58:42.740 --> 00:58:46.960 align:middle line:84%
So if you do a
lithium-sodium pair,

00:58:46.960 --> 00:58:48.660 align:middle line:84%
this is kinetically
faster compared

00:58:48.660 --> 00:58:50.560 align:middle line:90%
to a sodium-potassium pair.

00:58:50.560 --> 00:58:53.340 align:middle line:90%


00:58:53.340 --> 00:58:55.740 align:middle line:90%
Next bullet point-- yes?

00:58:55.740 --> 00:59:02.580 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: If you use a smaller
replacement ion, [INAUDIBLE]

00:59:02.580 --> 00:59:04.392 align:middle line:84%
trade-off of, it's
less effective

00:59:04.392 --> 00:59:06.600 align:middle line:84%
JUEJUN HU: [INAUDIBLE] less
effective in that regard.

00:59:06.600 --> 00:59:08.240 align:middle line:90%
AUDIENCE: But it's much easier.

00:59:08.240 --> 00:59:10.220 align:middle line:84%
JUEJUN HU: But you get
much larger K steps,

00:59:10.220 --> 00:59:13.420 align:middle line:84%
less amount of a compressive
strength in general.

00:59:13.420 --> 00:59:14.760 align:middle line:90%
So that's the trade-off there.

00:59:14.760 --> 00:59:15.860 align:middle line:84%
Or in fact, what
people will do-- let

00:59:15.860 --> 00:59:17.040 align:middle line:90%
me get to the last point.

00:59:17.040 --> 00:59:19.700 align:middle line:84%
People actually do
mixed salt baths

00:59:19.700 --> 00:59:22.140 align:middle line:84%
So for example, in a
glass containing lithium,

00:59:22.140 --> 00:59:24.180 align:middle line:84%
you put it in salt baths
containing both sodium

00:59:24.180 --> 00:59:25.860 align:middle line:90%
and potassium.

00:59:25.860 --> 00:59:27.660 align:middle line:90%
So the sodium will go in deeper.

00:59:27.660 --> 00:59:29.200 align:middle line:90%
It'll give you a large K steps.

00:59:29.200 --> 00:59:31.640 align:middle line:84%
But potassium will go more
in the surface region.

00:59:31.640 --> 00:59:34.180 align:middle line:84%
But that gives you a very high
surface compressive stress.

00:59:34.180 --> 00:59:37.460 align:middle line:90%
So that also helps.

00:59:37.460 --> 00:59:40.140 align:middle line:84%
Now, the last bullet point
I want to mention here

00:59:40.140 --> 00:59:43.820 align:middle line:84%
is to add some minor quantity
of magnesium oxide or calcium

00:59:43.820 --> 00:59:46.863 align:middle line:84%
oxide, about 2%
usually, give or take.

00:59:46.863 --> 00:59:47.780 align:middle line:90%
That's what people do.

00:59:47.780 --> 00:59:49.088 align:middle line:90%
Why?

00:59:49.088 --> 00:59:51.380 align:middle line:84%
There have been lots of
studies about why that actually

00:59:51.380 --> 00:59:53.620 align:middle line:84%
helps increase the
diffusion kinetics.

00:59:53.620 --> 00:59:55.120 align:middle line:84%
I'm not going to
go through details.

00:59:55.120 --> 00:59:56.662 align:middle line:84%
I don't think it's
fully settled yet.

00:59:56.662 --> 00:59:58.420 align:middle line:84%
But in practice,
that's what people do.

00:59:58.420 --> 00:59:59.920 align:middle line:84%
Empirically, that's
what they found.

00:59:59.920 --> 01:00:07.040 align:middle line:90%


01:00:07.040 --> 01:00:08.940 align:middle line:84%
So if you're happy
with that, now let's

01:00:08.940 --> 01:00:12.700 align:middle line:84%
actually look at one real-life
example of a [? chemically ?]

01:00:12.700 --> 01:00:14.300 align:middle line:90%
toughened glass.

01:00:14.300 --> 01:00:18.300 align:middle line:84%
So the example I've given here
is Gorilla Glass from Corning.

01:00:18.300 --> 01:00:20.140 align:middle line:84%
Gorilla Glass was the
one that was actually

01:00:20.140 --> 01:00:23.125 align:middle line:84%
developed when Steve Jobs
tried to approach Corning.

01:00:23.125 --> 01:00:25.500 align:middle line:84%
Essentially, when he was trying
to make the first iPhone,

01:00:25.500 --> 01:00:27.800 align:middle line:84%
and he was complaining about
plastics being terrible,

01:00:27.800 --> 01:00:29.747 align:middle line:84%
it creates all the
scratches, he wants glass.

01:00:29.747 --> 01:00:31.080 align:middle line:90%
So that's why he called Corning.

01:00:31.080 --> 01:00:33.460 align:middle line:90%
And Corning made it for them.

01:00:33.460 --> 01:00:35.020 align:middle line:84%
And if you also
remember, when we

01:00:35.020 --> 01:00:37.240 align:middle line:84%
talk about the manufacturing
of glass process,

01:00:37.240 --> 01:00:39.300 align:middle line:84%
we talk about this
fusion process--

01:00:39.300 --> 01:00:40.700 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE] fusion.

01:00:40.700 --> 01:00:42.220 align:middle line:84%
Fusion process was
really developed

01:00:42.220 --> 01:00:44.860 align:middle line:90%
by Corning decades ago.

01:00:44.860 --> 01:00:45.880 align:middle line:90%
It was shelved.

01:00:45.880 --> 01:00:47.460 align:middle line:90%
Nobody found any use for that.

01:00:47.460 --> 01:00:50.240 align:middle line:84%
Now, when they come to
make Gorilla Glasses

01:00:50.240 --> 01:00:53.140 align:middle line:84%
that's what they thought of when
they reinvigorated or revived

01:00:53.140 --> 01:00:55.780 align:middle line:84%
their process specifically
for making high-quality cover

01:00:55.780 --> 01:00:57.500 align:middle line:90%
glasses.

01:00:57.500 --> 01:01:00.610 align:middle line:84%
Over the years, Gorilla
Glasses have developed

01:01:00.610 --> 01:01:02.770 align:middle line:90%
many, many generations.

01:01:02.770 --> 01:01:05.070 align:middle line:90%
They are all slightly different.

01:01:05.070 --> 01:01:07.730 align:middle line:84%
They A little bit better one
generation than the other.

01:01:07.730 --> 01:01:09.958 align:middle line:84%
I picked this one,
Gorilla Glass 6.

01:01:09.958 --> 01:01:11.750 align:middle line:84%
This is actually not
the latest generation.

01:01:11.750 --> 01:01:13.330 align:middle line:90%
The latest ones are the--

01:01:13.330 --> 01:01:15.730 align:middle line:90%
I think they have Gorilla 7i.

01:01:15.730 --> 01:01:17.670 align:middle line:90%
They also have Gorilla Armor 2.

01:01:17.670 --> 01:01:19.330 align:middle line:90%
They have Gorilla Invictus 2.

01:01:19.330 --> 01:01:21.027 align:middle line:90%
Their 3 is the latest ones.

01:01:21.027 --> 01:01:23.110 align:middle line:84%
I'm not going to go through
the differences there.

01:01:23.110 --> 01:01:26.590 align:middle line:84%
But the reason I
picked Gorilla Glass 6

01:01:26.590 --> 01:01:28.090 align:middle line:84%
is because this is
the one they have

01:01:28.090 --> 01:01:30.690 align:middle line:90%
the most complete data online.

01:01:30.690 --> 01:01:33.490 align:middle line:84%
The latest generations,
they hide some of the data.

01:01:33.490 --> 01:01:35.702 align:middle line:84%
So that's why I decided
to pick this one here.

01:01:35.702 --> 01:01:37.410 align:middle line:84%
But again, they are
more or less the same

01:01:37.410 --> 01:01:39.930 align:middle line:84%
if you look at the data
that was published.

01:01:39.930 --> 01:01:41.190 align:middle line:90%
So now let's go through them.

01:01:41.190 --> 01:01:43.410 align:middle line:90%
So first one-- viscosity.

01:01:43.410 --> 01:01:46.312 align:middle line:84%
Essentially, they are looking
at different reference points.

01:01:46.312 --> 01:01:47.770 align:middle line:84%
These are the
temperature reference

01:01:47.770 --> 01:01:49.730 align:middle line:84%
points we talked about before--
softening point, annealing

01:01:49.730 --> 01:01:50.830 align:middle line:90%
point, straining point.

01:01:50.830 --> 01:01:52.330 align:middle line:84%
The key point I
want to mention here

01:01:52.330 --> 01:01:58.130 align:middle line:84%
is this guy, essentially
annealing point.

01:01:58.130 --> 01:02:01.050 align:middle line:84%
Sorry, I should mention that
this is basically the glass

01:02:01.050 --> 01:02:03.070 align:middle line:90%
transition temperature.

01:02:03.070 --> 01:02:04.570 align:middle line:84%
So for glass
transition temperature,

01:02:04.570 --> 01:02:05.370 align:middle line:90%
this is annealing point.

01:02:05.370 --> 01:02:06.310 align:middle line:90%
It's not straining point.

01:02:06.310 --> 01:02:07.710 align:middle line:84%
I made a mistake the
previous lecture.

01:02:07.710 --> 01:02:08.918 align:middle line:90%
It should be annealing point.

01:02:08.918 --> 01:02:11.310 align:middle line:84%
Straining point is beyond
which you don't have any--

01:02:11.310 --> 01:02:15.330 align:middle line:90%


01:02:15.330 --> 01:02:20.090 align:middle line:84%
you don't have any
further strain relaxation.

01:02:20.090 --> 01:02:22.090 align:middle line:84%
Annealing point is when
you have an expedited

01:02:22.090 --> 01:02:23.850 align:middle line:90%
relaxation of a strain.

01:02:23.850 --> 01:02:26.410 align:middle line:84%
But bottom line, this is close
to the [? essential ?] glass

01:02:26.410 --> 01:02:27.770 align:middle line:90%
transition temperature.

01:02:27.770 --> 01:02:31.210 align:middle line:84%
So for aluminum
silicate glasses,

01:02:31.210 --> 01:02:34.430 align:middle line:84%
the annealing point in this case
is about 620 degrees Celsius,

01:02:34.430 --> 01:02:37.130 align:middle line:84%
which is much higher compared
to soda-lime glass, which

01:02:37.130 --> 01:02:39.490 align:middle line:90%
is about 510 degrees Celsius.

01:02:39.490 --> 01:02:42.050 align:middle line:84%
So that's why they can afford
using high temperatures

01:02:42.050 --> 01:02:45.010 align:middle line:84%
in the ion exchange process
to get the large K steps.

01:02:45.010 --> 01:02:47.902 align:middle line:84%
In terms of the
mechanical properties,

01:02:47.902 --> 01:02:49.610 align:middle line:84%
you can look at density,
Young's modulus,

01:02:49.610 --> 01:02:51.110 align:middle line:90%
Poisson ratio, shear modulus.

01:02:51.110 --> 01:02:54.870 align:middle line:84%
One little practice we can also
do is in the previous lecture,

01:02:54.870 --> 01:02:57.970 align:middle line:84%
I mentioned about this criteria
of the ratio between the bulk

01:02:57.970 --> 01:02:59.810 align:middle line:90%
modulus and shear modulus.

01:02:59.810 --> 01:03:02.170 align:middle line:84%
The ratio turns out to
be greater than 0.42,

01:03:02.170 --> 01:03:03.190 align:middle line:90%
the critical number.

01:03:03.190 --> 01:03:05.110 align:middle line:84%
So it should be brittle,
which makes sense.

01:03:05.110 --> 01:03:06.890 align:middle line:84%
The glass is
[INAUDIBLE] brittle,

01:03:06.890 --> 01:03:09.370 align:middle line:84%
although you also have a little
bit of intrinsic ductility

01:03:09.370 --> 01:03:12.090 align:middle line:84%
coming from the volume change
during compressive stress, which

01:03:12.090 --> 01:03:13.230 align:middle line:90%
we're going to cover.

01:03:13.230 --> 01:03:17.010 align:middle line:84%
Now, if you look
at the hardness,

01:03:17.010 --> 01:03:19.290 align:middle line:84%
hardness is basically the
ability of the material

01:03:19.290 --> 01:03:20.770 align:middle line:90%
to resist deformation.

01:03:20.770 --> 01:03:24.090 align:middle line:84%
So you see that after
the ion exchange process,

01:03:24.090 --> 01:03:27.290 align:middle line:84%
the hardness actually increases,
because when you're actually

01:03:27.290 --> 01:03:29.870 align:middle line:84%
measuring hardness in
this case, they are using

01:03:29.870 --> 01:03:31.610 align:middle line:90%
viscous indentation method.

01:03:31.610 --> 01:03:33.250 align:middle line:84%
Essentially, it's
the pyramidal shape

01:03:33.250 --> 01:03:35.950 align:middle line:84%
of the stylus to
compress on the surface.

01:03:35.950 --> 01:03:39.290 align:middle line:84%
So you have a compressive
stress on the surface.

01:03:39.290 --> 01:03:41.130 align:middle line:84%
This compressive stress
is going to resist

01:03:41.130 --> 01:03:43.350 align:middle line:90%
deformation due to the stylus.

01:03:43.350 --> 01:03:45.250 align:middle line:84%
And therefore, apparently,
it will show up

01:03:45.250 --> 01:03:47.250 align:middle line:90%
with a higher hardness.

01:03:47.250 --> 01:03:48.030 align:middle line:90%
Makes sense?

01:03:48.030 --> 01:03:51.130 align:middle line:84%
OK, now next one, this is the
more tricky one-- fracture

01:03:51.130 --> 01:03:52.690 align:middle line:90%
toughness.

01:03:52.690 --> 01:03:55.800 align:middle line:84%
The fracture toughness of all
the Gorilla Glasses, [INAUDIBLE]

01:03:55.800 --> 01:04:00.240 align:middle line:84%
you find, it's all around like
0.7 megapascal square root

01:04:00.240 --> 01:04:01.200 align:middle line:90%
meter.

01:04:01.200 --> 01:04:05.020 align:middle line:84%
It's basically the same as
untreated soda-lime glass.

01:04:05.020 --> 01:04:08.520 align:middle line:90%


01:04:08.520 --> 01:04:09.720 align:middle line:90%
Why?

01:04:09.720 --> 01:04:12.720 align:middle line:84%
The simple argument is
that the fracture toughness

01:04:12.720 --> 01:04:15.600 align:middle line:84%
is an intrinsic
material parameter.

01:04:15.600 --> 01:04:19.400 align:middle line:84%
So it should not depend on
how you actually process it.

01:04:19.400 --> 01:04:22.200 align:middle line:84%
In fact, I specifically asked
my colleagues at Corning

01:04:22.200 --> 01:04:24.800 align:middle line:84%
how they actually measure this
fracture toughness number.

01:04:24.800 --> 01:04:27.600 align:middle line:84%
It was done using a
chevron-notch test, which

01:04:27.600 --> 01:04:29.220 align:middle line:90%
is one of ASTM's standards.

01:04:29.220 --> 01:04:33.560 align:middle line:84%
And it was done on a
unstrengthened Gorilla Glass

01:04:33.560 --> 01:04:35.120 align:middle line:90%
sample.

01:04:35.120 --> 01:04:39.840 align:middle line:84%
So when you look at
this number, it really

01:04:39.840 --> 01:04:42.260 align:middle line:84%
only measures the intrinsic
glass material property.

01:04:42.260 --> 01:04:45.240 align:middle line:84%
It hasn't taken into account
the compressive stress yet.

01:04:45.240 --> 01:04:47.560 align:middle line:84%
Realistically, if you
look at the material

01:04:47.560 --> 01:04:51.200 align:middle line:84%
under actual use
conditions, you have

01:04:51.200 --> 01:04:53.680 align:middle line:84%
lots of compressive
stress essentially forcing

01:04:53.680 --> 01:04:55.020 align:middle line:90%
on the tip of the crack.

01:04:55.020 --> 01:04:58.800 align:middle line:84%
So if you apply your
external load, which

01:04:58.800 --> 01:05:04.920 align:middle line:84%
is our sigma infinity, in order
to induce opening of the crack,

01:05:04.920 --> 01:05:10.320 align:middle line:84%
your sigma infinity has to
overcome the compressive stress.

01:05:10.320 --> 01:05:12.480 align:middle line:84%
And then on top of that,
the remaining amount

01:05:12.480 --> 01:05:16.640 align:middle line:84%
has to exceed essentially the
fracture stress of the glass.

01:05:16.640 --> 01:05:20.000 align:middle line:84%
So the compressive
stress would actually

01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:23.040 align:middle line:84%
increase the apparent
ability for the material

01:05:23.040 --> 01:05:25.000 align:middle line:90%
to resist breaking.

01:05:25.000 --> 01:05:28.680 align:middle line:84%
But it does not get
reflected in this measure

01:05:28.680 --> 01:05:30.920 align:middle line:90%
number of fracture toughness.

01:05:30.920 --> 01:05:32.720 align:middle line:84%
In fact, there are
some people who

01:05:32.720 --> 01:05:34.600 align:middle line:84%
are arguing, saying
that you should not

01:05:34.600 --> 01:05:37.300 align:middle line:84%
use unstrengthened glass to
measure fracture toughness.

01:05:37.300 --> 01:05:39.400 align:middle line:84%
You should essentially
do some calculations

01:05:39.400 --> 01:05:42.100 align:middle line:84%
to look at correct geometry,
account for compressive stress,

01:05:42.100 --> 01:05:45.040 align:middle line:84%
and use that modified fracture
stress to actually calculate

01:05:45.040 --> 01:05:46.680 align:middle line:90%
the fracture toughness.

01:05:46.680 --> 01:05:48.060 align:middle line:90%
Most people don't accept that.

01:05:48.060 --> 01:05:48.640 align:middle line:90%
That's why.

01:05:48.640 --> 01:05:52.560 align:middle line:84%
They still do the
untoughened glass.

01:05:52.560 --> 01:05:54.160 align:middle line:84%
Now this is something
to keep in mind.

01:05:54.160 --> 01:05:57.320 align:middle line:84%
Because if you look
at some news reports,

01:05:57.320 --> 01:06:00.680 align:middle line:84%
they will just be citing this
number as figure of merit

01:06:00.680 --> 01:06:02.240 align:middle line:84%
to gauge a glass
material's ability

01:06:02.240 --> 01:06:05.420 align:middle line:84%
to resist fracturing
or resist damage.

01:06:05.420 --> 01:06:08.840 align:middle line:84%
This is not quite accurate
because this is measured

01:06:08.840 --> 01:06:12.440 align:middle line:90%
on the unstrengthened sample.

01:06:12.440 --> 01:06:15.360 align:middle line:84%
All right, so now about chemical
strengthening, finally here,

01:06:15.360 --> 01:06:17.640 align:middle line:84%
you can see it has
a compressive stress

01:06:17.640 --> 01:06:22.840 align:middle line:84%
on the surface of maximally
exceeding 900 megapascals.

01:06:22.840 --> 01:06:24.680 align:middle line:84%
This is even higher
than what you

01:06:24.680 --> 01:06:28.578 align:middle line:84%
can get using in the
Prince Rupert's drop.

01:06:28.578 --> 01:06:31.120 align:middle line:84%
So you can really get to a very,
very high compressive stress

01:06:31.120 --> 01:06:33.160 align:middle line:84%
with chemical
toughening process.

01:06:33.160 --> 01:06:37.292 align:middle line:84%
The K steps, it's also larger
compared to soda-lime glass.

01:06:37.292 --> 01:06:39.000 align:middle line:84%
We mentioned soda-lime
glass, the K steps

01:06:39.000 --> 01:06:40.940 align:middle line:90%
is around 30 microns.

01:06:40.940 --> 01:06:43.320 align:middle line:84%
You can actually get close
to 100 microns with this kind

01:06:43.320 --> 01:06:45.000 align:middle line:90%
of a modified formula there.

01:06:45.000 --> 01:06:45.720 align:middle line:90%
Yes.

01:06:45.720 --> 01:06:48.960 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: Can you
[INAUDIBLE] do [INAUDIBLE]

01:06:48.960 --> 01:06:50.180 align:middle line:90%
in [? after you ?] do it.

01:06:50.180 --> 01:06:51.023 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE]

01:06:51.023 --> 01:06:51.940 align:middle line:90%
JUEJUN HU: To do what?

01:06:51.940 --> 01:06:55.820 align:middle line:90%
AUDIENCE: [INAUDIBLE]

01:06:55.820 --> 01:06:59.200 align:middle line:84%
JUEJUN HU: Yes, nobody
really does that.

01:06:59.200 --> 01:07:02.820 align:middle line:84%
That's the point about why would
you actually want to do that?

01:07:02.820 --> 01:07:03.760 align:middle line:90%
[CHUCKLES]

01:07:03.760 --> 01:07:05.957 align:middle line:84%
Because if you do a
thermal tempering,

01:07:05.957 --> 01:07:07.540 align:middle line:84%
and then you do a
chemical toughening,

01:07:07.540 --> 01:07:10.800 align:middle line:84%
you combine the worst
aspects of both.

01:07:10.800 --> 01:07:13.860 align:middle line:84%
You get a large tensile
stress region inside,

01:07:13.860 --> 01:07:16.800 align:middle line:90%
which may be prone to damage.

01:07:16.800 --> 01:07:19.920 align:middle line:84%
And then the amount of stress
you accumulate on the surface,

01:07:19.920 --> 01:07:21.340 align:middle line:90%
this is pretty much kept.

01:07:21.340 --> 01:07:22.350 align:middle line:90%
That's very high stress.

01:07:22.350 --> 01:07:24.600 align:middle line:84%
You get lots of relaxation
already at that high stress

01:07:24.600 --> 01:07:25.300 align:middle line:90%
level.

01:07:25.300 --> 01:07:26.760 align:middle line:84%
So by combining
both, I don't think

01:07:26.760 --> 01:07:29.860 align:middle line:84%
you can get too much
additional out of it.

01:07:29.860 --> 01:07:30.508 align:middle line:90%
So that's why.

01:07:30.508 --> 01:07:32.300 align:middle line:84%
And also, it's just
simply, more expensive.

01:07:32.300 --> 01:07:34.320 align:middle line:84%
Why not just do a simple
chemical toughening?

01:07:34.320 --> 01:07:38.770 align:middle line:84%
So that's why people usually
do one but not the other

01:07:38.770 --> 01:07:40.020 align:middle line:90%
We actually [? ran on ?] time.

01:07:40.020 --> 01:07:42.640 align:middle line:90%
Any more questions?

01:07:42.640 --> 01:07:43.560 align:middle line:90%
OK, I will stop here.

01:07:43.560 --> 01:07:44.680 align:middle line:84%
In the next lecture,
we are going

01:07:44.680 --> 01:07:46.590 align:middle line:84%
to talk a little bit
about the comparison

01:07:46.590 --> 01:07:51.260 align:middle line:84%
of the sum of the different
carbon materials beyond glasses.

01:07:51.260 --> 01:08:45.000 align:middle line:90%
