Abstract
The disclosure relates to adapters, systems, and methods to connect a metal component and a ceramic component. The systems and methods generally include a metal header, a header seal and a zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) header. The adapters, systems, and methods can further include a glaze and/or a palladium (Pd) or Pd-alloy coated membrane deposited on the ceramic component.
Claims6
A system comprising:
- a first metal header comprising a bore;
- a first header seal comprising a bore;
- a zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) header comprising a first bore, a first socket in fluid communication with the first bore, and a first sealing stem;
- a first face seal comprising a bore;
- and
- a first ceramic component comprising a bore and a glazed section on a surface of a first end of the first ceramic component,
- wherein:
- the glazed section comprises a member selected from the group consisting of a glass glaze and a glass-ceramic glaze;
- the first header seal is disposed in the bore of the first metal header;
- the first sealing stem of the ZTA header is disposed in the bore of the first metal header;
- the first header seal seals the first metal header to the ZTA header;
- a portion of the first end of the first ceramic component is disposed in the first socket of the ZTA header;
- the first face seal contacts an inner surface of the ZTA header and the glazed section of the first ceramic component and seals the first ceramic component to the ZTA header;
- and
- an interior space of the first ceramic component, an interior space of the ZTA header, and an interior space of the first metal header are in fluid communication.
