SPECIFICATION
Thermocompression Methods of Forming
Sodium-Sulfur Cell Casings
This invention relates to thermocompression methods of forming sodium-sulfur cell casings and, more particular, to such methods wherein a pair of open ended metallic containers without flanges are thermocompressed bonded to an electrically insulating ceramic ring.
Sodium-sulfur casings are useful in hermetically sealed sodium-sulfur cells. A cell casing with a hermetic mechanical seal and a hermetically sealed sodium-sulfur cell are described, for example, in U.S. Patent No.
3,946,751 issued March 30, 1976. In this patent, a hermetic mechanical seal joins two opposite outer metallic casing portions to a ceramic ring supporting an inner casing of a solid sodium ionconductive material. A hermetically sealed sodium-sulfur cell employs such a cell casing.
Thermocompression bonding is well known for its ability to produce a solid-state bond between metals and ceramics. This type of bond would be of particular interest in sodium-sulfur cells for use in sealing aluminum or other metallic containers to ceramic headers or rings.
In U.S. Patent No. 4,037,027, there is described a sodium-sulfur electric cell and method of forming the same wherein a cathode tank with an outwardly extending flange and an anode tank with an outwardly extending flange are fixed to an alumina plate or ring by disposing an aluminum seal between the outwardly extending flange of each tank and the plate. A bushing bears on each face of the plate within the respective tanks. This assembly is compressed at a temperature close to, but less than the melting point of aluminum. As opposed to applicant's present invention, the method described in this patent sets forth that the tanks have outwardly extending flanges.
In copending U.S. Patent Application Serial
Number 4,175 filed January 17, 1979, and entitled "Thermocompression Methods of
Forming Sodium-Sulfur Cell casings" there is described and claimed methods which include a die to bond open ended metallic containers with inward flanges to an electrically insulating ceramic ring.
The present invention is directed to improved thermocompression methods of forming sodiumsulfur cell casings in which a pair of open ended metallic containers without flanges are thermocompressed bonded to an electrically insulating ceramic ring.
The present invention provides a method of forming a sodium-sulfur cell casing which comprises providing an electrically insulating ceramic ring, situating a metallic washer against at least one major surface of the ceramic ring, providing an open ended metallic container positioned against the washer, subjecting the opposite open end of the container to a pressure in the range of 50 to 500 kg/cm2 for a period of
time from 5 minutes to 90 minutes, subjecting
simultaneously the container, washer and ceramic
ring in an inert atmosphere to a temperature in
the range from 5500C to 6250C.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention,
a thermocompression method of forming sodium
sulfur cell casing includes bending sequentially an
open ended metallic container to each opposite major surface of an electrically insulating ceramic ring.
The feature and advantages of the present invention will be further described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawing in which the Figure is a
sectional view of a sodium-sulfur casing made in
accordance with this invention.
In the single Figure of the drawing, there is shown generally at 10, a sodium-sulfur casing
made in accordance with the methods of this invention. Cell casing 10 is shown with an electrically insulating ceramic ring 11 of alphaalumina, which ring 11 has a central aperture 12 therethrough. A solid ion-conducting electrolyte
1 3 of sodium beta-alumina is shown partially positioned within aperture 12 of ceramic ring 11.
A glass seal 14 bonds the upper exterior surface of tube 13 to ceramic ring 11. The details of bonding a beta-alumina tube to a ceramic ring by means of a glass seal are described in detail in the above mentioned US Patent No.3,946,751. On each opposite major surface of ceramic ring 11 is provided an annular groove 15. An open-ended metallic container 16 of aluminum without flanges is bonded to the respective surface of ceramic ring 11 by means of a deformed aluminum washer 17 positioned in each of the grooves 15. This structure is a sodium-sulfur cell casing made in accordance with the methods of our invention.
We found that we could form a sodium-sulfur cell casing as shown in the single figure of the drawing by one method in which there is provided an electrically insulating ceramic ring of alphaalumina. An annular groove is provided in each opposite major surface of the ceramic ring. A metallic washer of aluminum is situated in one of the upper annular ring grooves. An open ended metallic container of aluminum is positioned against the washer. The opposite open end of the container is subject to a pressure in the range of 50 to 500 kg/cm2 for a period of time from 5 minutes to 90 minutes while the container, washer and ceramic ring are subjected to an inert atmosphere to a temperature in the range from 5500C to 6250C. A press and a furnace with an inert atmosphere are employed to provide the pressure, temperature and atmosphere.A second metallic washer of aluminum is positioned in the other annular ring groove after the assembly has been cooled. A second open ended metallic container of aluminum is positioned against the second washer. The opposite open end of the second container was subjected at a pressure in the range of 50 to 500 kg/cm2 for a period of time from 5 minutes to 90 minutes while the containers, the washers and the ceramic ring are subjected simultaneously in an inert atmosphere to a temperature in the range from 5500C to 6250 C. This is accomplished also with the above press and furnace.
We found also that we could form a sodiumsulfur cell casing as shown in the single Figure of the drawing by another method in which there is provided an electrically insulating ceramic ring of alpha-alumina. An annular groove is provided in each opposite major surface of the ceramic ring. A metallic washer is situated in each annular ring groove. A pair of open ended metallic containers of aluminum are positioned against each opposite washer. The opposite open end of each container is subjected simultaneously to a pressure in the range of 50 to 500 kg/cm2 for a period of time from 5 minutes to 90 minutes while the containers, washers and the ceramic ring are subjected simultaneously to an inert atmosphere to a temperature in the range from 550or to 625do. As in the first method, a press and furnace are employed.The simultaneous forming method is preferred.
We found that our methods for forming sodium-sulfur casings that the annular grooves are convenient for holding the metallic washers
However, the metallic washers can be placed directly on the major surfaces of a ceramic ring which does not have annular grooves. Various materials, such as chromized mild steel, aluminum and stainless steel, may be used for the containers. We prefer to use chromized mild steel.
The electrically insulating ceramic ring is preferably alpha-alumina. The washers are preferably made of aluminum. The furnace employs a reducing or inert atmosphere such as hydrogen or argon. Hermetic seals are produced using a range of temperatures from 5500C to 6250C with an associated pressure range of 50 to 500 kg/cm2. A time period of 5 minutes to 90 minutes achieves the desired hermetic seals between the respective containers and the ceramic ring. The initial metallic washers are deformed during either of the methods.
