ABSTRACT
We have developed glass/ceramic composite seals composed of glass
precursors (NS particles) and ceramic precursors (S particles). The
composite seals exhibited low gas permeability at room temperature
−650°C, irrespective of the fusion profiles. However, short-term fusion
led to the formation of pores in the seals and the pores in the seals
depressed the thermal cycle durability. As for the NS/S composite
ratios, the addition of S particles obviously improved the thermal cycle
durability, but excess addition will bring about delamination at the
seal/substrate interface. Appropriate NS/S ratios as well as an adequate
fusion profile would result in composite seals with high strength and
adhesion.
