Abstract: The effect of the duration of treatment of the surface of soda-lime glass in potassium and lead nitrate melts at a temperature of 460°C on the chemical and mechanical strength is investigated. It is demonstrated that the formation of a crystalline lead-silicate coating in this treatment increases the alkali resistance threefold and the mechanical strength of glass twofold. Practical recommendations are issued. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
