Common Trade Names: Alloy 46, 4J46, Fe-46Ni, UNS K94600, NiLo46
Alloy 46 is obtained at a given termperature range by adjusting the content of nickel internal energy and the expansion coefficient of different softglass and ceramic matching a series of expansion alloy, its expansion coefficient and the Curie temperature increases with the increase of nickel content.The assembly is widely used in electric vacuum industry the sealing structure ofthe material.

Notes:
1. The Vickers hardness of the annealed strip (sheet) should be no more than 170.
2. For the unannealed strip (sheet) delivered, after heat treat at 900℃, and then hold for 30 min, the Vickers hardness should be no more than 170.
