High Coefficient Of Thermal Expansion Kovar Alloy Rods UNS K94610
Kovar Alloy Rods is also called sealing alloy or constant
expansion alloy. Alloy with relatively constant low or medium
expansion coefficient in the temperature range of - 70 to 500 ℃. It
is close to the expansion coefficient of sealed materials such as
glass or ceramics, so as to achieve the effect of matching sealing.
The main types are iron nickel, iron nickel cobalt, iron nickel
chromium alloys. There are also oxygen free copper, tungsten,
molybdenum and their alloys and composites. It is mainly used as
sealing material in electronic industry and electric vacuum
industry.
