INTA Technologies Corporation provides metallized ceramic products to industry. INTA produces thick film metallization inks that utilize a Moly-Manganese (MoMn) refractory formulation designed for oxide ceramic bodies to provide one of the industries strongest bond strengths. Other formulations are also used by INTA, especially silver and silver-palladium. Inks can be applied by screen printing, roll printing, hand painting, air brush spraying, immersion and centrifugal coating. Inks are fired onto the ceramic at approximately 1300-1400 degrees C. in a hydrogen/nitrogen controlled atmosphere (INTA owns and operates several hydrogen atmosphere furnaces) in the case of MoMn. Silver inks are fired in one of INTA's air furnaces. The glass phases in the MoMn metallization bonds with the glass phases in the ceramic yielding peel strengths of 10-20 pounds. INTA custom manufacturers ceramic for various applications. INTA supplies ceramic and also metallizes customer-supplied ceramic. After firing the metallized surface is electrically conductive. Typically the surface is sulfamate or electroless nickel boron plated to help provide a more "wettable" surface during sequential brazing or soldering operations and to also protect the molybdenum. INTA's ceramic and metallization formulations are all made in the USA.
