Abstract

Method for producing a ceramic-glass-ceramic seal by the use of microwave energy, and a sealing mixture which comprises a glass sealing material, a coupling agent, and an oxidizer. The seal produced exhibits greater strength due to its different microstructure. Sodium nitrate is the most preferred oxidizer.

Method for producing ceramic-glass-ceramic seals by microwave heating

Patent Blake, R D; Meek, T T

A method is described for producing a ceramic-glass-ceramic seal comprising the steps of: a. preparing a mixture comprising a glass sealing material, a coupling agent, and an oxidizer; b. applying the mixture to a plurality of ceramic workpieces for sealing; c. enclosing the ceramic workpieces with other such workpieces; d. surrounding the mixture and plurality of ceramic workpieces with an insulative material; e. microwaving the mixture and plurality of ceramic workpieces at a power, time and frequency sufficient to ignite the oxidizer and to cause a liquid phase seal to form; and f. allowing the seal and workpieces to cool,more »« less
Ceramic-glass-ceramic seal by microwave heating

Patent Meek, Thomas T [Los Alamos, NM]; Blake, Rodger D [Santa Fe, NM]

A method for producing a ceramic-glass-ceramic seal by microwaving, mixes a slurry of glass sealing material and coupling agent and applies same to ceramic workpieces. The slurry and workpieces are placed together, insulated and then microwaved at a power, time and frequency sufficient to cause a liquid phase reaction in the slurry. The reaction of the glass sealing material forms a chemically different seal than that which would be formed by conventional heating because it is formed by a diffusion rather than by wetting of the reactants.

Method of processing "BPS" glass ceramic and seals made therewith

Patent Reed, Scott T [Albuquerque, NM]; Stone, Ronald G [Albuquerque, NM]; McCollister, Howard L [Albuquerque, NM]; ...

A glass ceramic composition, a glass ceramic-to-metal seal, and more specifically a hermetic glass ceramic-to-metal seal prepared by subjecting a glass composition comprising, by weight percent, SiO.sub.2 (65-80%), LiO.sub.2 (8-16%), Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 (2-8%), K.sub.2 O (1-8%), P.sub.2 O.sub.5 (1-5%), B.sub.2 O.sub.3 (0.5-7%), and ZnO (0-5%) to the following processing steps: 1) heating the glass composition in a belt furnace to a temperature sufficient to melt the glass and crystallize lithium phosphate, 2) holding at a temperature and for a time sufficient to create cristobalite nuclei, 3) cooling at a controlled rate and to a temperature to cause crystallization of lithiummore »« less

Mixture for producing fracture-resistant, fiber-reinforced ceramic material by microwave heating

Patent Meek, Thomas T [Los Alamos, NM]; Blake, Rodger D [Santa Fe, NM]

A fracture-resistant, fiber-reinforced ceramic substrate is produced by a method which involves preparing a ceramic precursor mixture comprising glass material, a coupling agent, and resilient fibers, and then exposing the mixture to microwave energy. The microwave field orients the fibers in the resulting ceramic material in a desired pattern wherein heat later generated in or on the substrate can be dissipated in a desired geometric pattern parallel to the fiber pattern. Additionally, the shunt capacitance of the fracture-resistant, fiber-reinforced ceramic substrate is lower which provides for a quicker transit time for electronic pulses in any conducting pathway etched into themore » ceramic substrate.« less

Ceramic-glass-metal seal by microwave heating

Patent Meek, Thomas T [Los Alamos, NM]; Blake, Rodger D [Santa Fe, NM]

A method for producing a ceramic-glass-metal seal by microwaving mixes a slurry of glass sealing material and coupling agent and applies same to ceramic and metal workpieces. The slurry and workpieces are then insulated and microwaved at a power, time and frequency sufficient to cause a liquid phase reaction in the slurry. The reaction of the glass sealing material forms a chemically different seal than that which would be formed by conventional heating because it is formed by diffusion rather than by wetting of the reactants.
