During its manufacture, X is toughened by ion exchange.The material is submersed in molten potassium salt at atemperature of approximately 400 C (750 F), wherebysmaller sodium ions leave the surface of the substance, tobe replaced by larger potassium ions from the salt bath.The larger ions occupy more room and are pressedtogether when it cools, causing potassium ions to diffusefar into the surface, thereby creating a 'surface' layer ofhigh compressive stress deep into the substance a layermore resistant to damage from everyday use.
