Title: Chemically durable nitrogen containing phosphate glasses useful for sealing to metals

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6509868

The chemical durability of alkali phosphate glasses is improved by incorporation of up to 23 weight percent of nitrogen. A typical phosphate glass contains: 10 to 60 mole % of Li/sub 2/O, Na/sub 2/O or K/sub 2/O; 5-40 mole % of BaO or CaO; 0-1 to 10 mole % of Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/; and 40-70 mole % of P/sub 2/O/sub 5/. Nitrides, such as AlN, are the favored additives.
