摘要
Soda-lime glasses were treated by electric field-assisted diffusion（EFAD） process. The mechanical properties and structural evolution on both glass anode and cathode surfaces were investigated, respectively. It was found that the EFAD resulted in the formation of a Na depletion layer on anode surface, which caused the relaxation of the glass anode surface network and the formation of a number of defects. Correspondingly, the hardness and flexural strength declined in anode surface compared to that of the original glass. On the other hand, the EFAD also created a compressive layer on cathode surface, causing the improvement of the hardness and flexural strength on cathode surface. The defected structure could be reconstructed by additional annealing process.
