4J29-Kovar alloy strip Kovar bar/kovar sheet/kovar tube
Common Trade Names:Kovar Alloy,4J29,UNS K94610(FeNi29Co17),29HК Kovar,KV-1,29HК-BИ,Werkstoff Nr.1.3981
This alloy also caleed Glass sealed and controlled expansion alloy,The alloy has a linear expansion coefficient similar to that of silicon boron 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 . It does not interact with mercury and is suitable for use in mercury-containing discharge meters. It is the main sealing structure material for electric vacuum devices.

Why Inconel Kovar ?
1.Kovar has a wide usage in the electronics industry, such as metal parts bonded to hard glass envelopes. These parts are used for such devices as power tubes and X-ray tubes, etc.
2.In the semiconductor industry kovar is used in hermetically sealed packages for both integrated and discrete circuit devices.
3.Kovar is provided in a variety of forms to facilitate efficient manufacturing of various metal parts. It has thermal expansion characteristics matching those of hard glass. Used for matched expansion joints between metals and glass or ceramics.
4.Kovar alloy is a vacuum melted, iron-nickel-cobalt, low expansion alloy whose chemical composition is controlled within narrow limits to assure precise uniform thermal expansion properties. Extensive quality controls are employed in the manufacture of this alloy to ensure uniform physical and mechanical properties for ease in deep drawing, stamping and machining.
Kovar Alloy Application field：
● Kovar alloy has been used for making hermetic seals with the harder Pyrex glasses and ceramic materials.
●This alloy has found wide application in power tubes, microwave tubes, transistors and diodes. In intergrated circuits, it has been used for the flat pack and the dual-in-line package.
