## Background
TECHNICAL FILED
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a lead-free sealing glass and a manufacture method thereof.
BACKGROUND
Sealing glass is one of common materials for sealing metal, nonmetal or ceramic. At present, a platinum-family sealing glass as utilized in the filed of electronics is capable of sealing metal with nonmetal or ceramic. However, such kind of platinum-family sealing glass has excessively low Tk-100 point and poor insulating property, which results in poor high-voltage tolerance and hence cannot satisfy demands of the filed of high-voltage electronics. Moreover, the platinum-family sealing glass contains heavy metal such as lead, which may damage both human health and environment.
To this end, people have been considering to apply lead-free sealing glass into the filed of high-voltage electronics. However, the filed of high-voltage electronics has certain requirements on the voltage tolerance of sealed products, and existing common lead-free sealing glass is relatively poor in voltage tolerance, which results in that the sealed products obtained by sealing with such common lead-free scaling glass cannot be well applied in the filed of high-voltage electronics. Therefore, it's urgently desired to develop a lead-free sealing glass which can be applied in the filed of high-voltage electronics without damaging the human body or the environment.

The embodiments of the present disclosure further provides a manufacture method of lead-free sealing glass, comprising: mixing, melting and cooling 30 wt %-60 wt % of SiO2, 10 wt %-30 wt % of BaO, 1 wt %-5 wt % of Na2O, 1 wt %-10 wt % of K2O, 2 wt %-10 wt % of V2O5, 5 wt %-10 wt % of CaO, 1 wt %-5 wt % of Al2O3, 0 wt %-5 wt % of B2O3, 1 wt %-3 wt % of Fe2O3, and 0-5 wt % of alkaline earth metal oxide to obtain the lead-free sealing glass.

It is to be understood that the described embodiments are only a part of but not all of exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, various other embodiments can be obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor and those embodiments shall fall into the protection scope of the present disclosure.
In order to further explain the lead-free sealing glass and the manufacture method thereof as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, detailed description will be given as below.
The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a lead-free sealing glass and a manufacture method thereof.
The embodiments of the present disclosure provide technical solutions as below.
A lead-free sealing glass comprising 30 wt %-60 wt % of SiO2, 10 wt %-30 wt % of BaO, 1 wt %-5 wt % of Na2O, 1 wt %-10 wt % of K2O, 2 wt %-10 wt % of V2O5, 5 wt %-10 wt % of CaO, 1 wt %-5 wt % of Al2O3, 0 wt %-5 wt % of B2O3, 1 wt %-3 wt % of Fe2O3, and 0-5 wt % of alkaline earth metal oxide.
The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a manufacture method of lead-free sealing glass, comprising: mixing, then melting and cooling 30 wt %-60 wt % of SiO2, 10 wt %-30 wt % of BaO, 1 wt %-5 wt % of Na2O, 1 wt %-10 wt % of K2O, 2 wt %-10 wt % of V2O5, 5 wt %-10 wt % of CaO, 1 wt %-5 wt % of Al2O3, 0 wt %-5 wt % of B2O3, 1 wt %-3 wt % of Fe2O3, and 0-5 wt % of alkaline earth metal oxide to obtain the lead-free sealing glass.
The lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is added with 2 wt %-10 wt % of V2O5, which can improve the voltage tolerance of the lead-free sealing glass and allows a temperature Tk-100 of equal to or greater than 350° C. for a volume resistivity of 108 Ω·cm. By utilizing such lead-free sealing glass for sealing, the sealed products as obtained will have better voltage tolerance and hence can be applied in the filed of high-voltage electronics. Apart from improving the voltage tolerance of the lead-free sealing glass, the V2O5 as incorporated can further improve a chemical stability of the lead-free sealing glass. In addition, the lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is also added with 30 wt %-60 wt % of SiO2, 5 wt %-10 wt % of CaO, 1 wt %-5 wt % of Al2O3, 1 wt %-3 wt % of Fe2O3, and no more than 5 wt % of alkaline earth metal oxide, which are cooperated with V2O5 to function as improving the chemical stability of the lead-free sealing glass as obtained, for example, improving a water-resistant chemical stability thereof to be of equal to or greater than a second level. The sealed product as obtained by sealing using such lead-free sealing glass, when used in an electronic product, can extend a service life of the electronic product because of the improvement of the chemical stability of the lead-free sealing glass. Moreover, the Al2O3 and the Fe2O3 as incorporated in the lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can further stabilize a glass former of the lead-free sealing glass within a sealing temperature range so as to prevent from occurrence of crystallization.
In addition, the lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure uses SiO2 and BaO as the glass former thereof so that it can decrease a softening temperature of the lead-free sealing glass by defining weight percents of SiO2 and BaO, respectively. In order to further adjust the softening temperature of the lead-free sealing glass, the lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is further added with 0-5 wt % of B2O3, through which a softening temperature of 650° C.-750° C. can be achieved. As the glass former of the lead-free sealing glass, the BaO not only serves to adjust the softening temperature but also increases an expansion coefficient of the lead-free sealing glass. Moreover, 1 wt %-5 wt % of Na2O and 1 wt %-10 wt % of K2O are also added, which are cooperated with BaO to co-adjust the expansion coefficient of the lead-free sealing glass so as to produce a lead-free sealing glass capable of satisfying requirements of electronic products, that is, a lead-free sealing glass with an expansion coefficient α of 70×10−7/° C.-110×10−7/° C.
Based on the analysis above, it can be seen that the embodiments of the present disclosure selects chemical constituents for the lead-free sealing glass and allows the chemical constituents to be cooperated with each other for better functions, so that the resulting lead-free sealing glass has good voltage tolerance to satisfy requirements on high-voltage tolerance when used in the filed of high-voltage electronics.
The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a lead-free sealing glass comprising the following chemical constituents: SiO2, BaO, Na2O, K2O, V2O5, CaO, Al2O3, B2O3, Fe2O3 and alkaline earth metal oxide. Furthermore, the lead-free sealing glass comprises 30 wt %-60 wt % of SiO2, 10 wt %-30 wt % of BaO, 1 wt %-5 wt % of Na2O, 1 wt %-10 wt % of K2O, 2 wt %-10 wt % of V2O5, 5 wt %-10 wt % of CaO, 1 wt %-5 wt % of Al2O3, 0 wt %-5 wt % of B2O3, 1 wt %-3 wt % of Fe2O3, and 0-5 wt % of alkaline earth metal oxide. The sum of the weight percents of all constituents of the lead-free sealing glass is 100 wt %.
The embodiments of the present disclosure optimize the combination of respective chemical constituents in the lead-free sealing glass while controlling the respective weight percents thereof, so as to allow the resulting lead-free sealing glass having better voltage tolerance when used in the filed of high-voltage electrons for reasons as below.
The lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is added with 2 wt %-10 wt % of V2O5, which can improve the voltage tolerance of the lead-free sealing glass and allows a Tk-100 of equal to or greater than 350° C. for a volume resistivity of 108 Ω·cm. By utilizing such lead-free sealing glass for sealing, the sealed products as obtained will have better voltage tolerance and hence can be applied in the filed of high-voltage electronics. Apart from improving the voltage tolerance of the lead-free sealing glass, the V2O5 as incorporated can further improve a chemical stability of the lead-free sealing glass. In addition, the lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is also added with 30 wt %-60 wt % of SiO2, 5 wt %-10 wt % of CaO, 1 wt %-5 wt % of Al2O3, 1 wt %-3 wt % of Fe2O3, and no more than 5 wt % of alkaline earth metal oxide, which are cooperated with V2O5 to function as improving the chemical stability of the lead-free sealing glass as obtained, for example, improving a water-resistant chemical stability thereof to be of equal to or greater than a second level. The sealed product as obtained by sealing using such lead-free scaling glass, when used in an electronic product, can extend a service life of the electronic product because of the improvement of the chemical stability of the lead-free sealing glass. It should be explained that, in the lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the V2O5 may not function as described when it's incorporated therein by a weight percent less than 2 wt %, and may be likely to result in a crystallization of the lead-free sealing glass during sealing so as to affect a sealing strength when it's incorporated therein by a weight percent greater than 10 wt %. Moreover, the Al2O3 and the Fe2O3 as incorporated in the lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can further stabilize a glass former of the lead-free sealing glass within a sealing temperature range so as to prevent from occurrence of crystallization.
In addition, the lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure uses SiO2 and BaO as the glass former thereof so that it can decrease a softening temperature of the lead-free sealing glass by defining weight percents of SiO2 and BaO, respectively. In order to further adjust the softening temperature of the lead-free sealing glass, the lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is further added with 0-5 wt % of B2O3, through which a softening temperature of 650° C.-750° C. can be achieved. It should be explained that, the lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure contains 30 wt %-60 wt % of SiO2, because a weight percent of SiO2 less than 30 wt % may result in a difficulty of forming the lead-free sealing glass into glassy state while a weight percent of SiO2 greater than 60 wt % may result in an excessively higher softening temperature of the glass former of the lead-free sealing glass so that the lead-free sealing glass is hard to sufficiently wet the object to be sealed during a high-temperature sealing process and the sealing may be failed consequently.
The lead-fee sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure uses BaO as the glass former so that it not only serves to adjust the softening temperature but also increases an expansion coefficient of the lead-free sealing glass. Moreover, 1 wt %-5 wt % of Na2O and 1 wt %-10 wt % of K2O are further added, which are cooperated with BaO to co-adjust the expansion coefficient of the lead-free sealing glass so as to produce a lead-free sealing glass capable of satisfying requirements of electronic products; that is, a lead-free sealing glass with an expansion coefficient of 70×10−7/° C.-110×10−7/° C. capable of sealing or compressively-sealing with metal, nonmetal or ceramic. Additionally, apart from those functions described above, Na2O, K2O, CaO and alkaline earth metal oxide as incorporated in the lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can also decrease a high-temperature viscosity of the lead-free sealing glass and allows the resulting lead-free sealing glass to be clearer.
By mixing the above constituents of the lead-free sealing glass according to the respective weight percents thereof, it can manufacture a lead-free sealing glass satisfying requirements of the filed of high-voltage electronics. In order to optimize a performance of the lead-free sealing glass, the weight percents of the respective constituents in the above-mentioned lead-free sealing glass are further defined in such a manner that the lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure comprises 40 wt %-50 wt % of SiO2, 15 wt %-25 wt % of BaO, 1.5 wt %-4.5 wt % of Na2O, 4 wt %-9.3 wt % of K2O, 3 wt %-8.7 wt % of V2O5, 5.5 wt %-9 wt % of CaO, 1.9 wt %-4 wt % of Al2O3, 2.5-3.7 wt % of B2O3, 1.7 wt %-2.8 wt % of Fe2O3, and greater than 0 wt % to less than or equal to 5 wt % of alkaline earth metal oxide. The lead-free sealing glass as manufactured by mixing with such weight percents allows for higher voltage tolerance and better chemical stability.
The present further defines another weight percents for contents of respective constituents in the lead-free sealing glass in such a manner that the lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure comprises 34 wt %-55.5 wt % of SiO2, 13 wt %-28.9 wt % of BaO, 1.3 wt %-4.8 wt % of Na2O, 3.2 wt %-8.8 wt % of K2O, 4 wt %-8.1 wt % of V2O5, 5.9 wt %-8.1 wt % of CaO, 1.5 wt %-3.3 wt % of Al2O3, 1.4 wt %-2.8 wt % of B2O3, 1.3 wt %-2 wt % of Fe2O3, and greater than 0 wt % to less than or equal to 5 wt % of alkaline earth metal oxide. The lead-free sealing glass as manufactured by mixing with such weight percents allows for even lower softening temperature and higher expansion coefficient as compared with foregoing lead-free sealing glass.
Various types of alkaline earth metal oxides can be utilized in the lead-free sealing glass as provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one of SrO and MgO is used as the alkaline earth metal oxide at a weight percent of 0-5 wt % and functions for slightly adjusting the high-temperature viscosity and increasing the chemical stability of the lead-free sealing glass.
Tests are conducted on the lead-free sealing glass as provided above for measuring respective performances thereof. By utilizing a test method SJ 689-83 for measuring an expansion coefficient of electro-vacuum glass thread, the expansion coefficient α of the lead-free sealing glass is found to be 70×10−7/° C.-110×10−7/° C. By utilizing a test method SJ 690-83 for measuring a softening temperature of electro-vacuum glass, the softening temperature of the lead-free sealing glass is found to be 650° C.-750° C. By utilizing a test method SJ 694-83 for measuring a temperature of electro-vacuum glass given a volume resistivity of 108 Ω·cm, the Tk-100 of the lead-free sealing glass is found to be of equal to or greater than 350° C. By utilizing a test method SJ 696-83 for measuring a water-resistance chemical stability of electro-vacuum glass, the water-resistance chemical stability of the lead-free sealing glass is found to be equal to or greater than a second level. Many other test methods can be used for measuring the above performances of the lead-free sealing glass, without limiting the present disclosure to those described herein.
