Abstract
Glass-to-metal seals are an imperative step in the construction of vacuum tubes, electric discharge tubes, incandescent light bulbs, glass encapsulated semiconductor diodes, reed switches, pressure-tight glass windows in metal cases, and metal or ceramic packages of electronic components. Their impressive properties, reliability, and ease of fabrication make glass-to-metal seals a favorite among numerous companies in various industries.
