Glass-to-metal seal Glass and metal can bond together by purely mechanical means, which usually gives weaker joints, or by chemical interaction, where the oxide layer on the metal surface forms a strong bond with the glass.

Glass-to-metal seal The glass-oxide bond is stronger than glass-metal.

Glass-to-metal seal The boron oxide from the borated layer diffuses into glass and lowers its melting point.

Glass-to-metal seal It however does not form oxides, its bond strength is lower. The seal has metallic color and limited strength.

Glass-to-metal seal For sealing to lead glasses, it has to be copper-plated or an intermediate lead-free glass has to be used.

Glass-to-metal seal Due to its low thermal expansion coefficient, matched to glass, molybdenum, like tungsten, is often used for glass-metal bonds especially in conjunction with aluminium-silicate glass.

Glass-to-metal seal Another possibility to avoid a strong tensile stress when sealing copper through glass is the use of a thin walled copper tube instead of a solid wire.

Glass-to-metal seal These alloys can be directly sealed to glass, but then the oxidation is critical. Also, their low electrical conductivity is a disadvantage. Thus, they are often gold plated.

Glass-to-metal seal Because glass is extremely strong in compression, compression seals can withstand very high pressures.

Glass-to-metal seal If the contact angle is low (good wetting) the surface of the glass is everywhere under compression stress like an enamel coating.
