Glass tubing & rods utlise proprietary glass forming processes
Designed for use in electronics, telecommunications, and aerospace applications, a range of precision glass tubing and rods has been announced by Morgan Advanced Materials. Further applications include miniature fuse bodies, glass-to-metal seals in integrated circuit packages, glass lenses for EPROM, and ROM.
Morgan Advanced Materials are able to manufacture small or large quantities of glass tubing and rod to precise tolerances, due to their proprietary glass forming processes. Along with their exisitng portfolio of glass compositions, Morgan is also able to develop materials whose coefficient of thermal expansion precisely meets the expansion properties of components being sealed.
The borosilicate compositions, including those made of the K-glass material, are used for Kovar sealing, microwave, and fuse casing applications. Soda lime compositions can be used for dumet sealing, a known method to seal copper leads using soda-lime or lead glass, and compression seals, while soda barium options are suitable for compression seals.
The glass products from Morgan are manufactured in accordance with ITAR regulations and can support any products that are components within an ITAR application, including laptops, peripherals, and cockpit communications sensor systems.
