In fact, there are many types of metals that can be sealed with glass, including oxygen-free copper, stainless steel, Kovar, tungsten wire, molybdenum wire, and others. Each serves different functions in various applications. Currently, the most commonly used are Kovar and tungsten wire due to their excellent performance. DGM01 has used both tungsten wire and Kovar as sealing metals. After comprehensive comparison, we ultimately chose Kovar.
Moving forward, we will also produce bases identical to those of the B8971 and IN18, without the metal ring used as an adapter, allowing compatibility with older B8971 clocks and IN18 clocks. Additionally, we are currently developing a 10mm-diameter small Nixie tube, a 59mm medium-sized tube, and an 83mm ultra-large tube. All of these will feature flat cathode columns identical to those of the B8971. I am a master's graduate in electronics with a deep passion for Nixie tubes. I have spent three years studying vacuum tube technology. In addition, I have invested in various testing equipment, such as spectrometers and helium mass spectrometry leak detectors to make best nixie tube. I have also developed many semi-automated production tools, enabling us to produce tubes with relatively high efficiency. I will provide timely updates on the latest developments regarding the B8971 here. Currently, I am looking for some B7971 or B8971 tubes to finalize the technical solution.
