Product Details

The 4J series precision alloys, specifically the Kovar 4J29 alloy, are nickel-iron based materials engineered to meet high-tech demands. These alloys are recognized for their extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), ensuring exceptional dimensional stability over a broad temperature range. With superior strength and toughness, Kovar alloy can withstand mechanical stresses, making it ideal for applications in extreme environments. These unique characteristics make the Kovar 4J29 precision alloy round bar a top choice for industries requiring high precision and reliability.
In particular, Kovar alloy is widely used in critical industries such as electronics, aerospace, and optics. It plays a vital role in the electronics industry for glass-to-metal seals in devices like vacuum tubes and sensors. In aerospace, Kovar 4J29 is crucial for precision instruments that must operate in challenging conditions. Additionally, in the optical industry, this alloy helps maintain the alignment of optical system components under varying temperatures.
