Question 1
During its manufacture, X is toughened by ion exchange. The material is submersed in molten potassium salt at a temperature of approximately 400 C (750 F), whereby smaller sodium ions leave the surface of the substance, to be replaced by larger potassium ions from the salt bath. The larger ions occupy more room and are pressed together when it cools, causing potassium ions to diffuse far into the surface, thereby creating a 'surface' layer of high compressive stress deep into the substance a layer more resistant to damage from everyday use. The only manufacturer of this product is Corning. Idu eenu?
