The effects of water attack on the surfaces of 2 bulk glasses, including changes with time of exposure to air after water exposure, were determined using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Although the layer explored was extremely thin (∼30 Å), this nondestructive technique has potential for quantitative analysis. The results obtained for an industrial glass and an experimental nonresistant one are compared, i.e. the rapidity of ion exchange at the glass‐water interface, fluctuation of Na content in the glass surface during water exposure, migration of Na through the SiO 2 surface layer, and nonmigration of Ca under the same conditions. The present results agree with those obtained by other workers from solution analysis and other surface‐sensitive physical techniques. The surface of lead crystal glass exposed to dilute acetic acid was also studied.
