Popis: Recent work carried out on a new glass-ceramic/alloy material set for the application of pyrotechnic components is discussed. A newly developed family of austenitic stainless steels has been hermetically sealed to a widely used lithia-alumina-silica glass-ceramic. These alloys, originally developed for applications where high oxidation resistance is required, contain 4-5 wt pct aluminum. The presence of aluminum offers several advantages from a glass or glass-ceramic sealing point of view. These include the presence of a tenacious, stable oxide (Al2O3) on the alloys' surface as well as the fact that they can be strengthened during sealing via precipitation of a secondary phase, NiAl. In addition, these new alloys offer lower material and machining costs, and improved weldability when compared to the widely used Ni-based superalloys.
