Abstract
Abstract A method for manufacturing a lead-through of a metal element consisting of a fernico alloy through a component of ceramic material. A suspension is supplied of glass powder having molar percentage compositions within defined limits. The suspension is deposited on the ceramic material at the area of the lead-through and the assembly is heated for several minutes in an nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature near 1000° C. followed by cooling of the assembly to room temperature.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
A method of manufacturing a lead-through of a metal element consisting of a fernico alloy through a component of ceramic material by means of sealing with the aid of a glass type based on zinc-borosilicate, comprising supplying a suspension of glass powder whose molar quantity percentage composition is between the following limits SiO 2 :4-26 B 2 o 3 :19-56 znO:29-57 Li 2 O:3.0-5.0 Al 2 O 3 :0-6 depositing said suspension on the ceramic material at the area of the lead-through, heating the assembly for several minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature near 1000° C. and cooling the assembly to room temperature.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
105 words
A method of manufacturing a lead-through of a metal element consisting of a fernico alloy through a component of ceramic material by means of sealing with the aid of a glass type based on zinc-borosilicate, comprising supplying a suspension of glass powder whose molar quantity percentage composition is between the following limits SiO 2 :4-26 B 2 o 3 :19-56 znO:29-57 Li 2 O:3.0-5.0 Al 2 O 3 :0-6 depositing said suspension on the ceramic material at the area of the lead-through, heating the assembly for several minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature near 1000° C. and cooling the assembly to room temperature.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said suspension of glass powder has SiO 2 content between 5 and 20 mol%.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein said cooling step further includes first maintaining the product at the value of the annealing point of the glass for at least 15 minutes.
