Disclosed is a hermetically sealed assembly for precompression of a martinsetic metal for use in negative pressure energy transfer systems, and method of making same. The assembly comprising a martinsetic metal disposed between and in contact with flanged sapphire windows, the flanges defining an open area therebetween to accommodate expansion and contraction of the martinsetic metal. Hermetic sealing means include a bellows element, which can comprise a convoluted cross section, at the periphery of the assembly to enable operation over temperature ranges from ambient to cryogenic without loss of integrity or leakage.
A hermetically sealed assembly for precompression of a martinsetic metal comprising:
A sapphire window for a hermetically sealed assembly for precompression of a martinsetic metal, the sapphire window being circular and comprising a planar outside surface and a planar inside surface, the outside surface and the inside surface parallel to each other, and a peripheral flange extending outwardly from and around the sapphire window and coplanar with the outside surface, the flange having an inside face and forming a step to the inside surface of the sapphire window.
