A hermetic seal between a crystalline ceramic member and a member of inorganic, nonmetallic material, such as glass, ceramic or semiconductor material, is described which is formed by an alloy of indium and an active metal, such as titanium, zirconium, tantalum and hafnium. In one embodiment, an envelope for a cathode-ray tube is formed by sealing a glass faceplate to a ceramic funnel portion by the indium alloy seal. As a result of the short time required for such sealing, the cathode ray tube envelope may be first evacuated and then sealed during the same heating cycle so that such evacuation can be performed through the large end of the envelope at such faceplate.
