Abstract
486,256. Sealing metal to ceramic material by heat. BRITISH THOMSONHOUSTON CO., Ltd. May 10, 1937, No. 13296. Convention date, May 12, 1936. [Class 36] A process for making vacuum-tight connections between metal and ceramic substances comprises filling the space between both substances at the point of connection with an easily fusible metal or solder, heating the substances in a vacuum furnace up to or above the melting temperature of the solder and, after melting the solder, admitting a neutral gas, preferably hydrogen, into the furnace at a pressure of one or several atmospheres to increase the pressure acting on the surface of the solder. The example shows a sealed leading- in arrangement into a metal discharge vessel 7, wherein a ceramic sleeve 1 of porcelain, steatite, or the like is sealed between a metal tube 2 and cap 3, the tube 2 being welded to the vessel 7. Annular grooves 5 are provided in the ceramic sleeve 1 to receive a soldering medium such as silver and, to prevent the solder from being attacked by mercury vapour when the device is in use, a packing material such as a glass flux, metal oxide, or asbestos, is located within annular slots 4. Alternatively the annular grooves may be provided in the metal parts, so that a smooth insulator may be used. The soldering medium is placed in the form of wire ribbon or powder.
