Summary of Practice3.1 Seals of a standard configuration are prepared fromrepresentative specimens of the glass and metal to be tested.The glass and metal are cleaned, treated, and sized to s
8、pecifiedproportions. Plane-interfaced seals are formed, annealed, andmeasured for residual optical retardation. The stress parallel tothe interface in each seal is calculated from the opticalretardation, and the average stress and thermal expansionmismatch are computed for the sample.4. Significance

Materials6.1 MetalFive representative specimen pairs of the metalfrom either rod or plate stock with dimensions satisfying therequirements of 7.1. T
17、he surfaces to be sealed should berelatively free of scratches, 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. Edges that are rounded, such as appear ontumbled parts, will ha
18、ve the tendency to permit glass overflow.The opposite faces of each plate should be parallel within 0.5.6.2 GlassFive representative specimens of rod or plateglass, cut with either diamond-impregnated or other abrasivecutting wheels under flowing water. Dimensions (volume)must satisfy the requiremen
19、ts of 7.2, and the faces should beflat and parallel within 0.5 for uniform flow during sealing.7. Test Specimens7.1 The metal specimens may take the form of circular,square, or rectangular plates. In each case the dimension d, Fig.1, designates the path along which the optical retardation in thefini
20、shed seal is measured. Two identical metal plates of any ofthe indicated shapes are required for a seal. The thickness, tm,of each plate should be at least 0.7 mm and d/tmshould be atleast 6.7.2 Glass with suitable optical transmission of any shapemay be used, provided it flows essentially bubble-fr
21、ee to fill theentire volume between the metal plates as in Fig. 2. Experienceindicates, however, that best results are obtained with flat glassconforming closely to the outline of the metal plates. Thethickness of the glass before sealing shall be such that it equalstmafter sealing within 15 %. Thus
22、, the volume of glassnecessary to fill the void between the metal plates to athickness equal to that of a single plate becomes the determin-ing dimensional criterion for the glass.7.3 When used as an acceptance test by producer and user,the number of test seals representing one determination shall b
23、eestablished by mutual agreement. However two seals are aminimum requirement for one determination.8. Preparation of Specimens8.1 MetalChemically clean the specimens to removesurface contaminants, especially lubricants and fingerprintsfrom fabrication and handling. Usually it is advisable topreoxidi
24、ze parts as described in Annex A1. Preoxidationpromotes a better glass-to-metal bond and relieves cold work-ing stresses.8.2 GlassUsing optical glass techniques grind and polishthe sealing surfaces of the glass specimens with either wetabrasive wheels or water slurries of abrasive on a lap. Thepolis
25、hed surfaces should satisfy the dimensional criteria of 6.2and 7.2, and be without chips, nicks, or scratches. Remove anysurface contaminants which could produce bubbly seals. Anultrasonic wash may be used. See Annex A1.9. Procedure for Making the Sandwich Seal9.1 Record dimensions of metal plates a
26、nd glass parts.9.2 Make the seal in a furnace or by induction heating of themetal utilizing suitable specimen holders or supports undercontrolled conditions of temperature and time. See Annex A2.10. Annealing10.1 Once a symmetrical, bubble-free seal has been made,proper annealing of the seal becomes
27、 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 temperaturesomewhat higher than the annealing p
28、oint of the glass andmaintaining this 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 Seal stress and associated expansion mismatch
29、 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 itsmaintenance.11. Procedure for Measuring Optical
30、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 plane of the seal (in an immersion liquid,if needed) in a direction 45 from the direction of vibration ofthe polarizer and analy
31、zer, so that the line of sight, or lightpath, is through the maximum glass dimension in the directiond shown in Fig. 1. In a circular seal, for example, this would bethe diameter.11.1.2 Determine the retardation along the light paththrough the glass in terms of degrees of rotation of analyzer.Rotate
32、 in a direction that causes the curved black fringes seenwithin the glass to appear to merge in the center of crossFIG. 1 Permissible Metal Shapes.FIG. 2 General Seal Configuration.F 144 80 (2005)2section of the glass and away from the glassmetal interfaces.Rotate the analyzer so that any light or “
33、gray” area which mayexist between the fringes disappears and a dark spot, or area, isformed. This condition is termed the point of extinction.NOTE 1Sealing combinations may exist in which the thermal expan-sion coefficients of glass and metal at room temperature may differsignificantly. In these cas
34、es it may be important to record the temperatureof the refraction liquid (or the seal) at the time the retardation is measured.NOTE 2In certain glasses, especially those compositions containingmore than one alkali oxide, part of the retardation observed may not beassociated with the mismatch stress
35、of interest. In these cases somestructural birefringence is caused by temporary stresses at elevatedtemperatures. Evaluate the exact analysis of mismatch stress by com-pletely removing the metal member by acid immersion. Read again theretardation at the same glass surface. Then algebraically subtrac
36、t anyresidual retardation from that previously observed.11.1.3 If an immersion liquid is used record the nominalindex of refraction, nD, of the liquid, and measure and recordthe temperature of the immersion liquid to the nearest 1Cusing an immersion mercury thermometer.11.1.4 Record the type of ligh
37、t source and the effectivewavelength, L, in nanometers, of the light for which theretardation has been measured. Record the interface positionand the major stress component position and sense (tension orcompression) as defined in Test Method F 218.11.1.5 Measure the length d along the light path (Fi
38、g. 1)using a micrometer caliper.12. Calculations12.1 Calculate the retardation per unit length of each speci-men as follows:R 5 L3 A!/180 3 d! (1)where:R = retardation per unit length, nm/cm,L = wavelength of light source, nm,A = rotation of analyzer, deg, andd = length of the light path through the
39、 interface, cm.NOTE 3In determining the light path only that length of glass sealedat the interface is considered. In a complete seal, this may be the same asd of Fig. 1, but it may be less. See A2.6 of Annex A2.12.2 Calculate the average, R, of the values of R for thespecimens in a test lot.12.3 Fo
40、r each test lot, calculate the average seal stressparallel to the interface using the relationship:S 5 R/K (2)where:S = stress parallel to interface, Pa,R= average retardation per unit length of the testspecimens, nm/cm, andK = stress-optical coefficient of the glass, nm/cmPa.NOTE 4The stress-optica
41、l coefficient K of any reference glass shall besupplied by the producer. Values for typical sealing glasses are found inTable A1 of Specifications F 79 and F 105.12.4 Calculate the thermal expansion mismatch (the differ-ential thermal contraction between the glass and the metal fromthe setting point
