ABSTRACT:
Corrosion-resistant, hermetic glassceramic-to-metal seals are made in a single rapid heating step by inserting a glass preform made of 25-35% by weight ZnO, 2.5-10% by weight Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and 30-60% SiO.sub.2 together with optional nucleating and/or fluxing agents, between a metal pin and surrounding metal collar. Heating is rapid in a single step to first fluidize the glass, while avoiding excessive oxidation of the metal pin and the metal collar and to prevent excessive interaction of the glass composition at the glass/collar interface, then to ceram the seal. The resulting seals exhibit good corrosion resistance to potassium hydroxide solutions and are useful in Ni-Cd batteries.
