Methods are provided for forming high temperature coating over ceramic components, such as ceramic turbomachine components. In various embodiments, the method includes the step or process of at least partially filling a reactor vessel with a reaction solution containing a solution-borne rare earth cation source. A silicon-containing surface region of a ceramic component is submerged in the reaction solution, and a solvothermal growth process is carried-out. During the solvothermal growth process, the reaction solution is subject to elevated temperature and pressure conditions within the reactor vessel in the presence of a silicate anion source, which reacts with the solution-borne rare earth cation source to grow a rare earth silicate layer over the silicon-containing surface region of the ceramic component.

The present invention relates to a tellurium-oxide-based glass composition for forming a glass-to-metal seal to alloys or metals having a coefficient of thermal expansion higher than 16 ppm/ C., said composition comprising TeO.sub.2, ZnO, TiO.sub.2 and optionally K.sub.2O and being essentially free of lead oxide, sodium oxide and vanadium oxide. In addition it relates to the use of the glass composition according to the invention to form a glass-to-metal seal between copper or a copper alloy and an alloy or a metal having a coefficient of thermal expansion higher than 16 ppm/ C., in particular aluminum alloys. It furthermore relates to a connector comprising a contact made of copper or of copper alloy, an insert and/or shell made of a metal or alloy having a coefficient of thermal expansion higher than 16 ppm/ C. and, by way of glass-to-metal sealant between the contact and the insert and/or shell, a tellurium-oxide-based glass having the composition according to the invention. Lastly, it relates to a process for forming a glass-to-metal seal between a contact made of copper or of copper alloy and an insert and/or shell made of metal or alloy having a coefficient of thermal expansion higher than 16 ppm/ C.

A stress-engineered frangible structure includes multiple discrete glass members interconnected by inter-structure bonds to form a complex structural shape. Each glass member includes strengthened (i.e., by way of stress-engineering) glass material portions that are configured to transmit propagating fracture forces throughout the glass member. Each inter-structure bond includes a bonding member (e.g., glass-frit or adhesive) connected to weaker (e.g., untreated, unstrengthened, etched, or thinner) glass member region(s) disposed on one or both interconnected glass members that function to reliably transfer propagating fracture forces from one glass member to other glass member. An optional trigger mechanism generates an initial fracture force in a first (most-upstream) glass member, and the resulting propagating fracture forces are transferred by way of inter-structure bonds to all downstream glass members. One-way crack propagation is achieved by providing a weaker member region only on the downstream side of each inter-structure bond.

A body, such as a lamp body, includes a tubular element. At least one conductor is introduced into the tubular element and a glass material surrounds the conductor.
