  • Process for forming a ceramic-metal adduct
    Patent number: 5028306
    Abstract: A ceramic article is treated to increase the adhesion of metals to the ceramic article by placing the ceramic article under at least a partial vacuum. A thin film of metal is then deposited on the ceramic article by sputtering or evaporating. The metallized ceramic article is further bombarded by high energy ions, resulting in the formation of a metal-ceramic compound that renders the article more receptive to further metal deposition.
