Technology transfer of CABAL-12 glass to support the fabrication of the MC4050 power supply

The CABAL-12 glass technology was successfully transferred to private industry to support the fabrication of ambient-temperature lithium batteries for the MC4050 Power Supply. This report reviews all of the activities conducted, including (1) commercial production of CABAL-12 glass; (2) commercial preform fabrication; (3) corrosion studies of commercial CABAL-12 in both lithium/electrolyte and aqueous environments; (4) stress analyses of headers with CABAL-12 glass; and (5) commercial fabrication of CABAL-12 seals. 14 refs., 22 figs., 12 tabs.
