Abstract
This invention is directed to the production of glasses having particular utility as envelopes for tungsten-halogen incandescent lamps because of their thermal endurance and capability of use at the high temperatures at which such lamps operate, coupled with their facility for being sealed to molybdenum. The glasses manifest a strain point in excess of 730.degree. C., a liquidus temperature less than 1200.degree. C., a viscosity at the liquidus of at least 40,000 poises, axial compression at room temperature not exceeding 350 PPM and axial tension or compression at 500.degree. C. not exceeding 150 PPM when sealed to molybdenum leads, and a coefficient of thermal expansion (0.degree.-300.degree. C.) less than 48.times.10.sup.-7 /.degree. C. Such glasses consist essentially, by weight on the oxide basis, of 61-65% SiO.sub.2, 14-17% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, 8-15% CaO, and 6-9% SrO.
