Comments Sealable Ceramic Glass Material
Commonly used for compression (reinforced) seals
  • The 46 glass ceramic is a structurally homogeneous material which combines the wettability of electronic glasses with the strength of ceramics.
  • The 46 replaces alumina and other glass/ceramics requiring batch furnace processing and reduces furnace time by 80%.
  • With 46, metallizing and brazing steps are eliminated.
  • The 46 produces high strength seals that can withstand temperatures up to 700°C.
  • Sealed glass-ceramic headers can be post brazed up to temperatures of 1400°F without affecting hermeticity.
  • The 46 has variable coefficient of thermal expansion from 110 to 220 (x 10-7 in/in/°C).

The 46 Ceramic Glass Composite:

  • Eliminates manufacturing steps
  • Reduces sealing time
  • Can match a wide range of metals
  • Can be easily machined
  • Has improved high temperature electrical properties
  • Has improved chemical durability
