Abstract
Abstract A sealing glass material comprising a thermally crystallizable, PbO--ZnO--B 2 O 3 sealing glass flit and a mill addition selected from alumina, zircon, and manganese dioxide, the mill addition being in an amount sufficient to increase the mechanical strength in a fusion seal to at least 55.2 MPa(8000 psi), but the amount being not over about 5% by weight of the sealing material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
A material for a fusion-type seal, the material consisting essentially of a thermally crystallizable, PbO--ZnO--B 2 0 3 sealing glass frit and a mill addition, the mill addition consisting essentially of at least one additive that enhances seal strength, that is selected from a group consisting of alumina, zircon, and manganese dioxide, and that is present in an amount sufficient to provide a mechanical strength of at least 55.2 MPas (8000 psi) in a fusion seal made with the material, the amount of additive being at least 2%, but not over about 5% by weight of the sealing material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
99 words
A material for a fusion-type seal, the material consisting essentially of a thermally crystallizable, PbO--ZnO--B 2 0 3 sealing glass frit and a mill addition, the mill addition consisting essentially of at least one additive that enhances seal strength, that is selected from a group consisting of alumina, zircon, and manganese dioxide, and that is present in an amount sufficient to provide a mechanical strength of at least 55.2 MPas (8000 psi) in a fusion seal made with the material, the amount of additive being at least 2%, but not over about 5% by weight of the sealing material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
