  • METHODS OF FORMING A GLASS COMPOSITION
    Publication number: 20160096771
    Abstract: A method includes placing a material including a glass precursor material in contact with a second material and annealing the glass precursor material to form a glass composition in contact with the second material. In an embodiment, annealing is performed at a single temperature. In another embodiment, annealing is performed at a temperature in a range of 750° C. to 1000° C. In a particular embodiment, the glass composition includes a crystalline fraction of at least 30%.

  • SANBORNITE-BASED GLASS-CERAMIC SEAL FOR HIGH-TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20140295313
    Abstract: A glass-ceramic seal for ionic transport devices such as solid oxide fuel cell stacks or oxygen transport membrane applications. Preferred embodiments of the present invention comprise glass-ceramic sealant material based on a Barium-Aluminum-Silica system, which exhibits a high enough coefficient of thermal expansion to closely match the overall CTE of a SOFC cell/stack (preferably from about 11 to 12.8 ppm/° C.), good sintering behavior, and a very low residual glass phase (which contributes to the stability of the seal).
