Process of soldering to a ceramic or glass body

Claim 2

IN THE PROCESS OF PRODUCING A HIGHLY ADHERENT METAL COATING ON A BODY, PARTICULARLY ON A BODY SUCH AS GLASS AND CERMAIC HAVING AN OXIDE ON ITS SURFACE WHICH RENDERS SOLDERING DIFFICULT, THE STEPS COMPRISING APPLYING TO A SURFACE OF THE BODY A MOLTEN SOLDER CONTAINING AS ITS ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS FROM 0.05% TO 10% BY WEIGHT AT LEAST ONE ALKALINE EARTH METAL FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF MAGNESIUM AND BARIUM, FROM 0 TO 20% ZINC, FROM 0 TO 10% COPPER, FROM 0 TO 20% INDIUM AND THE BALANCE BEING AT LEAST ONE METAL SELCTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF TIN, LEADS AND SILER, AND APPLYING VIBRATIONS OF A FREQUENCY OF FROM 5,000 TO 100,000 CYCLES PER SECOND TO THE MOLTEN SOLDER FOR A PERIOD OF TIME OF THE ORDER OF 1 TO 50 SECONDS TO APPLY ON TH ORDER OF FROM 100 TO 1000 WATTS OF ENERGY PER SQUARE INCH OF SURFACE BEING SOLDERED TO CAUSE THE MOLTEN SOLDER TO REACT WITH THE BODY AND TO WET THE SURFACE OF THE BODY WHEREBY ON SOLDIFIACTION A STRONG WELL-BONDED METAL COTING ON THE BODY IS PRODUCED.

Claim 3

IN THE PROCESS OF SOLDERING A METAL MEMBER TO A SUFACE OF A CERMAIC OR GLASS BODY THE STEPS COMPRISING, APPLYING DIRECTLY TO THE SURFACE OF THE BODY A MOLTEN SOLDER CONSISTING OF AS ITS ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS, FROM 0.05% TO 10% BY WEIGHT AT LEAST ONE ALKALINE EARTH METAL FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF MANGNESIUM, AND BARIUM FROM 0 TO 20% ZINC, FROM 0 TO 10% COPPER, FROM 0 TO 20% INDIUM AND THE BALANCE BEING AT LEAST ONE METAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF TIN, LEAS AND SILVER, AND APPLYING VIBRATIONS OF A FREQUENCY OF FROM 5,000 TO 100,000 CYCLES PER SECOND TO THE MOLTEN SOLDER FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, THE VIBRATIONS APPLYING ON THE ORDER OF FROM 100 TO 1,000 WATTS OF ENERGY PER SQUARE INCH OF SURFACE, TO CAUSE THE MOLTEN SOLDER TO REACT WITH THE SURFACE AND TO WET THE SURFACE, AND THREAFTER SOLDERING THE METAL MEMBER TO THE METAL COATED BODY BY APPLYING IT THERETO BY MEANS OF A SECOND SOLDER WHOSE MELTING POINT IS BELOW THE MELTING POING OF THE METAL COATING, WHEREBY ON SOLDIFICATION A STRONG WELL-BONDED METAL COATING ON THE BODY IS PRDUCED.

Claim 4

IN THE PROCESS OF SOLDERING A METAL MEMBER TO A SUFACE OF A CERMAIC OR GLASS BODY THE STEPS COMPRISING, APPLYING DIRECTLY TO THE SURFACE OF THE BODY A MOLTEN SOLDER CONSISTING OF AS ITS ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS, FROM 0.05% TO 10% BY WEIGHT AT LEAST ONE ALKALINE EARTH METAL FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF MANGNESIUM, AND BARIUM FROM 0 TO 20% ZINC, FROM 0 TO 10% COPPER, FROM 0 TO 20% INDIUM AND THE BALANCE BEING AT LEAST ONE METAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF TIN, LEAS AND SILVER, AND APPLYING VIBRATIONS OF A FREQUENCY OF FROM 5,000 TO 100,000 CYCLES PER SECOND TO THE MOLTEN SOLDER FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, THE VIBRATIONS APPLYING ON THE ORDER OF FROM 100 TO 1,000 WATTS OF ENERGY PER SQUARE INCH OF SURFACE, TO CAUSE THE MOLTEN SOLDER TO REACT WITH THE SURFACE AND TO WET THE SURFACE, AND THREAFTER SOLDERING THE METAL MEMBER TO THE METAL COATED BODY BY APPLYING IT THERETO BY MEANS OF A SECOND SOLDER WHOSE MELTING POINT IS BELOW THE MELTING POING OF THE METAL COATING, WHEREBY ON SOLDIFICATION A STRONG WELL-BONDED METAL COATING ON THE BODY IS PRDUCED.
