Abstract

560,717. Glass manufacture. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd. Oct. 8, 1942, No. 14125. Convention date, Oct. 8, 1941. [Class 56] [Also in Group XXXVI] Oxidizable metals such as iron or steel are sealed into glass by coating them with silver, the thickness of the coating and the time of heating during sealing being such as to permit only such a small oxidation of the metals as to make a better seal than that provided by the uncoated metals. The silver film is preferably between .00004 and .00025 inches thick and an overcoating of black silver sulphide may be provided. The iron is degreased with sodium carbonate, etched and rinsed, and then plated in a striking solution containing silver and potassium cyanide and potassium carbonate. It is then transferred to a plating bath containing in addition sodium thiosulphate and ammonia. The glass consists of two parts silica and one part lead oxide with small proportions of aluminium, potassium and sodium oxides. The process is preferably carried out in a machine of the kind described in U.S.A. Specification 2,195,483 and consisting of a mould 20 and plunger 24. The mould supports the iron ring 2 and the silver-plated iron wires 5 which pass through a glass button and through the plunger. The plunger carries an exhaust tube 6 welded to the button and flared by a plunger 32. Pins 22 raise the ring above the mould so that the gas flames can play upon the ring without unduly heating the mould. To avoid cracking the glass upon cooling, the ring is cooled by streams of cold air at a quicker rate than the glass until they are both at the same temperature. The metal is then mildly heated to reduce its rate of cooling until the glass solidifies, when both metal and glass are allowed to complete their cooling at the same rate.
