Abstract
Ceramic-to-metal sealing was accomplished by brazing a metallized alumina insulator to a Kovar (Carpenter Technology Corporation) pin and header. A braze alloy wetting evaluation and a braze joint tensile strength evaluation were completed by brazing the specimens in a hydrogen atmosphere. From these evaluations the best braze alloy and brazing cycle were selected. Twelve braze alloys were evaluated and Nicusil 3 (Western Gold and Platinum Company) braze alloy was found to have good wetting characteristics and optimum strength. Assemblies brazed with this alloy were vacuum leak tight and metallurgically sound.
