Kovar is a nickel-iron-cobalt alloy with controlled thermal expansion properties. It is often used in hermetic sealing applications. It is tough and versatile and has a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to hard glass. Kovar alloy is made with extensive quality controls to ensure uniformity in physical properties.
Table of Content
Kovar Round Bars are an alloy made up of 29% nickel, 17% cobalt, 0.2% silicon, 0.3% manganese, and 53.5% iron. It is specifically known for its low coefficient of thermal expansion and is suitable for uses that require a matched expansion seal between metal and glass parts.
This nickel-iron-cobalt-based controlled expansion alloy matches both borosilicate glasses and ceramics. This material ensures it is a highly recommended alloy for hermetic sealing or glass or metal sealing uses.
Kovar Wires are a key component in many products. These alloys are made of nickel, cobalt, and iron and contain a low coefficient of thermal expansion. Like Kovar Sheets, Kovar Wires has unique qualities allow them to be fabricated into many different parts. Unlike many other alloys, Kovar Wires chemical composition can be controlled within very narrow limits, ensuring uniformity in thermal expansion.
Lint Steels is a renowned manufacturing company that offers the best quality Kovar round bars and wires. Our company places strong commitments towards client satisfaction through excellence, reliable quality, and competitive pricing of different products. A wide variety of Kovar Bars and Wires sizes are available with immediate shipping and custom sizes.
Composition of Invar Round Bars:
Along with the above materials, there are also other materials present in the composition of Kovar wires such as (Ni), Nickel, (Mo) Molybdenum, (Cu) Copper, (Co) Cobalt, (Ti) Titanium, (Al) aluminum, (Fe) iron, etc.
Features that make Kovar wires unique from other materials:
Nickel-iron-cobalt based alloy Kovar round bars have end uses which are usually glass sealing in the electronics industry. Typical Kovar bars and wires used are glass-to-metal seals, lead frames, electronic package base, lids, power tubes, microwave tubes, transistors, diodes, hybrid packages, vacuum tubes, x-ray tubes, and light bulbs.
