Kovar is a nickel-iron-cobalt controlled-expansion alloy containing 29% nickel. Its coefficient of expansion, which decreases with rising temperature to the inflection point, matches the expansion rate of borosilicate glasses and alumina ceramics. Used for glass-to-metal seals in applications requiring high reliability or resistance to thermal shock. Examples are high-power transmitting valves, transistor leads and headers, integrated-circuit lead frames, and photography flash bulbs.

Glass to Metal Tubing

Glass-to-metal seals are a very important element of the construction of vacuum tubes, electric discharge tubes, incandescent light bulbs, glass encapsulated semiconductor diodes, reed switches, pressure tight glass windows in metal cases, and metal or ceramic packages of electronic components.

Properly done, such a seal is hermetic. To achieve such a seal, two properties must hold:

  1. The molten glass must be capable of wetting the metal, in order to form a tight bond, and
  2. The thermal expansion of the glass and metal must be closely matched so that the seal remains solid as the assembly cools.

TUBE SHAPES
Rounds, squares, triangles, rectangles, ovals, half-rounds, hexagons, and fluted rounds. Other configurations available upon request.

SIZE RANGE

Outside Diameter 0.020 in. to 6.000 in.

Wall Thickness 0.003 in. to 0.500 in.

LENGTHS

Exact cut lengths to 0.025 in. minimum

Mill lengths up to 20 ft.

Arbor wound coils on request.

TOLERANCES
Precision tolerances are normally one half of the commercial tolerances. Thousands of tool combinations permit us to ensure your most stringent tolerance needs.
