Product Description
Kovar Alloy 4j29 Bar is a controlled-expansion iron-nickel-cobalt alloy renowned for its exceptional thermal expansion compatibility with hard glass and ceramics. 4J29 maintains near-zero dimensional variance across extreme temperature fluctuations, establishing itself as the gold standard for hermetic sealing in critical applications. This alloy bar also exhibits outstanding resistance to thermal stress cracking and corrosion in vacuum environments.
Kovar Alloy 4j29 Bar is particularly valued for its unique thermal expansion synchrony and impermeable sealing capabilities. A defining characteristic is its engineered crystallographic structure that remains geometrically stable from cryogenic to elevated temperatures, enabling the fabrication of precision components requiring micron-level tolerance retention during thermal cycling.
Maintains near-zero differential expansion with hard glass/ceramics across -60°C to +450°C, eliminating interfacial stress-induced sealing failures.
Creates impermeable metal-to-nonmetal joints sustaining helium leak rates <10⁻⁹ Pa·m³/sec under vacuum/high pressure, ensuring lifetime sealing reliability.
Forms a dense, stable chromia (Cr₂O₃) protective layer at high temperatures, resisting oxidation in air or oxygen-containing environments.
Zero outgassing in critical vacuum environments.
Resists weak acids, alkaline vapors, and electronic cleaning agents.
Precisely tuned Fe-Ni-Co atomic ratio stabilizes crystal structure below/above Curie point (~430°C), enabling micron-level dimensional reproducibility during thermal cycling.
Optimized annealed microstructure delivers unified mechanical strength and ductility, supporting complex machining while ensuring thin-wall seal rigidity.
Forms chemical-bonded interfaces with borosilicate glass for hermetic seals.
Compatible with TIG/electron beam welding for hybrid sealing structures.
