Abstract

Oxynitride glass whose composition is represented by Al--Si--O--N or M--Al--Si--O--N (where M denotes Ca, Mg, or rare earth element), wherein the content of O and N as non-metallic components is in the range of 0 eq %<N.ltoreq.30 eq %, with O+N=100 eq %, the content of M, Al, and Si as metallic components is in the range of 20 eq %.ltoreq.Al.ltoreq.30 eq % and 70 eq %.ltoreq.Si.ltoreq.80 eq %, respectively, with Al+Si=100 eq % (if M does not exist) and the content of M, Al, and Si as metallic components is within the hatched area in the composition diagrams shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, if M is Ca, Mg, or rare earth metal, or within the hatched area in the composition diagrams shown in FIGS. 4 to 8, if the content of N is in the range of 5 eq %.ltoreq.N.ltoreq.25 eq %. This glass is superior in specific rigidity and fabricability. It contains nitrogen in a controlled amount so that it has improved specific rigidity without its specific gravity increasing.
