Product Introduction

Kovar 4J29 Wire is an iron nickel cobalt based alloy wire material with a linear expansion coefficient similar to that of silicon boron hard glass, a high Curie point, and good low-temperature structural stability. The oxide film of this alloy is dense, can be well infiltrated by glass, and does not interact with mercury, making it suitable for use in instruments containing mercury discharge. It is the main sealing structural material for electric vacuum devices.

Heat treatment system:

The performance test samples for the expansion coefficient and low-temperature tissue stability specified by the standard are heated to 900 ℃± 20 ℃ in a hydrogen atmosphere, held for 1 hour, then heated to 1100 ℃± 20 ℃, held for 15 minutes, and cooled to below 200 ℃ at a rate not exceeding 5 ℃/min before being taken out of the furnace.
