3、s-metal butt seals of two general configurations:one applicable to determining stress in the glass and the otherto determining the degree of mismatch of thermal expansion(or contraction). Tests are in accordance with Test MethodF 218 (Section 1.1).1.2 This practice applies to all glass and metal (or

The surfaces to be sealed should berelatively free of scr
16、atches, machine marks, pits, or inclusionsthat would induce localized stresses. The sealing surfacesshould terminate in sharp edges at the peripheral corners to actas a glass stop.

17、entative specimens of rod or plate glass,cut with either diamond-impregnated or other abrasive cuttingwheels under flowing water. Dimensions (volume) shall satisfythe requirements of 7.2 or 7.3.7. Test Specimen7.1 Two basic cylindrical geometries are considered. Fordetermining only the stress in gla
18、ss, a seal whose total lengthis at least twice its diameter must be used. For determiningexpansion mismatch (as well as stress) a seal whose totalthickness is equal to or less than one fifth of its diameter mustbe used.7.2 The design for measuring stress provides seals betweena cylindrical rod speci
19、men of glass and metal of either rod orsheet (strip) form. The standard rod seal of Fig. 1(a) shall bemade from specimens so that the diameter of the metal, dm, is0.5 to 1.0 mm larger than the diameter of the glass, dg, beforethe seal is made; the lengths lgand lmshall each be at least dg.The standa
20、rd sheet seal of Fig. 2(a) shall be made fromspecimens so that lgis at least 10 lmand a and b each exceeddgby at least 1.0 mm. In all cases dgshall be at least 5.0 mm;d is defined as the sighting line (or light path) through the glassat the interface after sealing.7.2.1 Record the dimensions of glas
21、s and metal.7.3 For determining the thermal expansion mismatch be-tween the metal and the glass, the standard disk seal shown inFig. 3(a) is made. Here dmmay exceed dgby 0.5 to 1.0 mm; dgshall be at least 10 mm.The metal to glass thickness ratio, tm/tg,may range from13 to 1; d is defined as the sigh
22、ting line (orlight path) through the glass at the interface after sealing andmust be at least 5 (tm+ tg).7.3.1 Record the dimensions of glass and metal.8. Preparation of Specimens8.1 MetalChemically clean the specimens to removesurface contaminants, especially lubricants and fingerprintsfrom fabrica
23、tion and handling. Usually it is advisable topreoxidize parts as described in Annex A1. Preoxidationpromotes a better glass-to-metal bond and relieves cold-working stresses.NOTE 1The cleaned and heat-treated metal should be sealed within 24h and should be protected from surface contamination during
24、this period.8.2 GlassUsing optical-glass techniques grind and polishthe sealing surface of the glass specimens with either wetabrasive wheels or water slurries of abrasive on a lap. Thepolished surface should be at 90 6 2 to the specimen axis andwithout chips, nicks, or scratches. Remove any surface
25、 con-taminants which could produce bubbly seals. An ultrasonicwash may be used (Annex A1).8.3 Measure and record the dimensions (diameter, length,thickness) of each glass and each metal specimen.9. Procedure for Making the Butt-Seal9.1 Record dimensions of metal plates and glass parts.9.2 Make the s

Annealing10.1 Once a symmetrical, bubble-free seal has
27、been made,proper annealing of the seal becomes the most critical part ofthe procedure. It is by this operation that all stresses arerelieved except those due to the difference in thermal contrac-tion of the two materials from annealing temperature levels.This process involves heating the seal to a t
28、emperaturesomewhat higher than the annealing point of the glass andmaintaining the temperature for a time sufficient to relieve theexisting strain. The test specimen is then cooled slowly at aconstant rate. As an alternative, annealing can proceed directlyon cooling during the making of a seal.10.2
29、Seal stress and associated expansion mismatch can bevaried markedly by annealing schedule modification. For thisreason, when the test is used as an acceptance specification, itis strongly recommended that producer and user mutuallydefine the annealing schedule and establish rigid controls for itsmai
30、ntenance.11. Procedure for Measuring Optical Retardation11.1 For each specimen measure the retardation in theannealed seal due to the stress parallel to the interfaceaccording to Test Method F 218.11.1.1 Position the cylindrical axis of the glass (in animmersion liquid, if needed) in a direction 45
31、from thedirection of vibration of the polarizer and analyzer, so that theline of sight or light path lies in the plane of the interface andpasses through its center.11.1.2 Determine the retardation along the light path interms of degrees of rotation of the analyzer. Rotate the analyzerin a direction
32、 that causes the curved black fringe seen withinthe glass to appear to move up to but not beyond theglass-metal interface (as though into the metal). Rotate theanalyzer so that any light or “gray” area which may existbetween the darkest part of the fringe (its center of width) andthe surface of the
33、metal disappears; this condition is termed“extinction.” When extinction is achieved correctly, the widthof the black fringe should appear to be about half its initialvalue, the other half apparently being obscured by the metal.Record the rotation of the analyzer required to produceextinction.NOTE 2S
34、ealing combinations may exist in which the thermal expan-sion coefficients of glass and metal at room temperature may differsignificantly. In these cases it may be important to record the temperatureof the refraction liquid (or the seal) at the time the retardation is measured.NOTE 3In certain glass
35、es, especially those compositions containingmore than one alkali oxide, part of the retardation observed may not beassociated with the mismatch stress of interest. In these cases somestructural birefringence is caused by temporary stresses at elevatedtemperatures. The exact analysis of mismatch stre
36、ss should be evaluatedby completely removing the metal member by acid immersion. Theretardation should again be read at the same glass surface. Any residualretardation should then be algebraically subtracted from that previouslyobserved.NOTE 4If it is desired to minimize any uncertainties about meas
37、uringthrough the curved surfaces, these may be ground after annealing toconform to the alternate shapes of Fig. 1(b), 2(b), or 3(b). Opposing facesshould be ground so as to be parallel to each other and normal to the planeof the seal interface each within12 . For rod seals or sheet seals, grindingsh
38、ould be such that in Fig. 1(b) and 2(b) the dimension d is not less than0.8 dg. In the case of the alternative disk seal of Fig. 3(b), d must still beat least 5(tm+ tg). Grinding should be followed by reannealing beforemeasuring retardation. It should be borne in mind that grinding mayproduce micro
39、or macro cracks at the interface with the uncertaintiesassociated with these conditions.11.1.3 If an immersion liquid is used record the nominalindex of refraction, nD, of the liquid, and measure and recordto the nearest 0.1C the temperature of the liquid using animmersion mercury thermometer.11.1.4
40、 Record the type of light source and the effectivewavelength, L, in nanometres of the light for which theretardation has been measured. Record the interface extinctionangle and sense (tension or compression) as defined in TestMethod F 218.11.1.5 Measure the length d along the light path (Fig. 1,2,an
41、d 3) using a micrometer caliper with an index permittingdirect reading of 0.002 mm.12.
