ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a hermetic compression glass to metal seal which leaves the metal free of oxide. A temporary assembly of a metal header having a glass bead in an aperture therethrough and an electrical feedthrough conductor passing through the glass bead is heated in a dehydrated pure hydrogen environment to above the melting temperature of the glass bead, and then cooled to solidify the bead and cause the header to contract around the bead.
