Abstract

An overview is given outlining the materials and technologies that have been employed in the preparation of glass- and glass-ceramic-to-metal seals and coatings. Metal/non-metal bonding theories are summarized, and the conditions required for the formation of strong chemical bonding are described and discussed. Particular reference is given to the interfacial chemistry involved for individual glass/metal and glass-ceramic/metal combinations. The major factors responsible for the preparation of high-quality seals and coatings, free from porosity and other undesirable defects, are also outlined and discussed. In addition, a number of applications for seals and coatings are briefly described.
