Abstract

When glass was treated in a hot alkaline solution containing a small amount of heavy alkaline earth elements such as Ba or Sr, sharp cracks formed on the glass surface. The severity of the crack formation was greater, the heavier the alkaline earth element. The cracks caused a drastic reduction in the mechanical strength of the glass.
