Abstract: A glass composition is disclosed that is useful as a solder glass for sealing components together. However, the glass is also especially adapted for use as an electric resistance film for coating the inner neck or funnel portions of a cathode ray tube to reduce arcing. The glass composition includes primarily the oxides of vanadium and phosphorous with the preferred addition of either zinc oxide or lead oxide. Still other metal oxides may be optionally included such as oxides of barium, antimony, lithium, manganese, silicon, boron, molybdenum and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed are ferrimagnetic glass-ceramics prepared by the in situ, thermal crystallization of certain nickel-zinc; manganese-zinc; and manganese-magnesium crystalline ferrites in a residual glassy matrix.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for melting X-ray absorbing glass compositions by a process wherein molten glass is floated or supported on a bath of molten tin. The X-ray absorbing glass compositions are free of the oxides of lead, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, cadmium, and other readily reducible oxides to prevent discoloration of the glass upon contact with molten metal.
