Nilo / Alloy K W.Nr.: 1.3981

UNS: K94610

Kovar alloy is a vacuum melted, iron-nickel-cobalt, low expansion alloy which has been used for making hermetic seals with the harder Pyrex glasses and ceramic materials. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is the most significant property of Kovar. It is carefully formulated to produce a low CTE below the Curie point (435°C or 815ºF) which is remarkably similar to hard / borosilicate glass or ceramic.

 

4J29 (KOVAR) alloy has a linear expansion coefficient similar to that of borosilicate hard glass at 20-450 ° C, a higher Curie point, and good low-temperature structural stability. The oxide film of the alloy is dense and can be well wetted by glass. And it does not interact with mercury, so it is suitable for use in instruments containing mercury discharge. It is the main sealing structure material of electric vacuum devices.
