Introduction:
Kovar alloy has stable performance, mainly applying to the glass sealing of lead wire, chassis, shell holder, etc., in electrical vacuum components, transmitting valve, oscillating tube, ignitron, magnetron, transistor, sealing plug, electric relay and integrated circuit. The glass should match with the expansion coefficient of the alloy in application. Its cryogenic structural stability is strictly tested according to the use temperature. During the processing, proper heat treatment should be conducted to ensure that the material has good deep drawability and high elongation. When using forging material, its gas tightness should be tested strictly.
