Abstract
The Vickers hardness number and the crack-formation resistance were de termined for soda-lime silicate glass subjected to chemical treatment in an AgNO3 bath. The effectiveness of the induced Na+ reversible arro w Ag+ ionic exchange process was modified by thermal annealing of the exchanged specimens in air and gaseous hydrogen. It was found that the formation of colloidal silver particles induces a distinct yellow-bro wnish coloration and an increase in the crack formation resistance of chemically and thermally pretreated glass specimens.
