Easy-to-Machine Thermally Stable Kovar Nickel Alloy Rods

- Yield Strength: 55,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell B105 (Hard)
- Temper: Condition B (1/4 Hard)
- Specifications Met: ASTM F15
This nickel-iron-cobalt alloy expands at the same rate as glass when heated. It offers better machinability than Invar 36 and is often used anywhere a dependable glass-to metal seal is required, such as in diodes and microwave tubes.
