1. A method of making a glass part, comprising:
gob-pressing glass to form the glass part, wherein the gob-pressing comprises pressing a gob of molten glass into a mold such that the gob spreads outward in the mold to form the molten glass to a shape of the glass part,
wherein the shape comprises first and second major surfaces facing away from one another and a thickness orthogonal to the first and second major surfaces and extending therebetween, wherein the shape comprises a geometric centroid, and wherein the shape has length and width aligned with the first and second major surfaces and orthogonal to one another;
wherein the length of the shape is greater than the width;
wherein the first and second major surfaces each have an area of at least 4 cm2 and the thickness for at least a portion of the shape between the major surfaces is less than 2 mm;
wherein a cross-sectional portion of the shape between the first and second major surfaces extending along a 2 cm linear path varies in thickness less than 100 μm;
wherein the shape comprises curvature of at least a portion of surfaces thereof that comprises a radius of curvature of less than 1 m;
wherein the glass of the glass part is an aluminosilicate, comprising in molar percentage on an oxide basis at least 40 mol % silica and no more than 80 mol % silica, and at least 2 mol % alumina and no more than 30 mol % alumina;
wherein the glass has a dielectric constant Dk at 10 GHz less than or equal to 6.8;
wherein the glass is configured for chemical strengthening, comprising at least 5 mol % alkali metal oxides and no more than 25 mol % of the alkali metal oxides;
chemically strengthening the glass of the glass part, wherein the glass has a surface compressive stress and a central tension; and
heat treating the glass of the glass part to grow crystals therein, wherein the crystals comprise at least 50 vol % of the glass part and no more than 99 vol %.
