Kovar expansion alloy 4J29, K94610, 1.3981

2019-08-06 11:30:29

Alloy K / K94610 / ASTM F15 Also known as Kovar®*** and Nilo K**, this alloy contains 29% nickel with a 17% cobalt addition. Its composition is tightly controlled within narrow limits to ensure precise and universal thermal expansion and mechanical characteristics. This helps the material provide high integrity glass-to-metal and ceramic-to-metal seals in applications requiring reliability and resistance to thermal shock. Alloy K is often used for the manufacture of hermetic seals with both the harder Pyrex or borosilicate glasses and alumina-type ceramic materials. It finds extensive application in the production of transistors and diodes for lids and closures in a variety of hybrid electronic circuit packages and also in the manufacture of microwave tubes.
