''S'' glass manufacturing technology transfer
A glass-ceramic to metal sealing technology patented by Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque (SNL) was developed by MRC-Mound for use in the manufacture of weapon components. successful implementation attracted increasingly widespread weapons of this technology. ''S-glass'' manufacturing technology was transferred to commercial vendors to ensure that weapons production schedules would be met in the coming years. Such transfer also provided sources of this fledgling technology for the Department of Defense (DOD), aerospace and other commercial uses. The steps involved in the technology transfer are described, from the initial cooperative development work of Sandia and Mound scientists and technologists to the final phase of qualifying commercial vendors for component manufacture.
