Abstract

Alumina arc tube sealing members including a highly pure, fine alumina doped with yttrium oxide, and magnesium oxide. The sealing members are used in the formation of sintered hermetic seals to a green, prefired, or fully sintered translucent alumina arc tube and niobium electrical feedthrough assemblies with or without the use of sealing frits or brazing alloys.
