(USSR) Saphirit represents a new vacuum-tight ceramic material for electrically insulating parts of electro-vacuum device systems. Saphirit contains 98 per cent of AI=O3 with addition of BiOa and MgO. It possesses high hardness, small porosity, increased heat conductivity, good thermomechanical properties and small dielectric losses. Components of saphirit are made by the method of hot pressure casting. Metallization of saphirit components is by burning in. Saphirit-tometal seals were obtained with the aid of copper, copper-silver and silver brazes. Utilization of saphirit in electron tubes permits simplification of construction and increases the device reliability due to the elimination of forced air cooling of metal-ceramic groups.
