Abstract
The weathering of low-iron float glass under accelerated testing has been studied by a variety of surface characterization techniques including optical spectroscopy, optical and scanning electron microscopy, dye penetration testing, surface profile measurements, and resonant nuclear reaction profiling. The results indicate that the weathering process results from the formation of a low density film on the glass surface by the interdiffusion of mobile ions from the glass and protons from the water. The rate of formation of this film was found to be a strong function of the near-surface composition of the glass.
