Patent ·
OSTI ID:4339253
A getter system is described for gases contained within a hermetically sealed container. The gases include those dissolved in the container walls which are to be maintained substantially free of such gases. Disposed in the container is a body heatable to an elevated temperature which requires protection from residual gases. The getter consists essentially of a zirconium-base alloy containing about 10 to 30 weight per cent tin. (Official Gazette)
