GBC Materials Produces Microscopic Glass Beads for the Electronics Industry
The GBC Materials division of Morgan Advanced Ceramics (MAC) offers microscopic-sized glass beads for the electronics industry. Designed to produce hermetic seals that secure against outside elements, these glass beads are ideal for a variety of applications, including miniature fuse bodies, lenses for photo transistors and glass-to-metal seals used in IC packages.
Using two innovative and unique processes, GBC Materials manufactures glass tubing and rod, which is then accurately cut to size to meet each individual user's specifications. The "Direct Draw" method provides the ability to manufacture small quantities of glass tubing and rod to precise tolerances, while creating a wide range of colored and opaque glass. The "Redraw" process produces larger quantities of continuously formed, clear glass tubing or rod.
GBC manufactures the tubing and rod to 0.150" maximum outer diameter. Depending on the size of the piece and project, tolerances can range from +.001" to .003" on external and internal diameters. Additionally, special compositions of glass can be formulated for unusual applications such as sealing to alloys or ceramics.
