UNS K93600 Nickel Alloy Invar 36 Material For Optoelectronic Devices

UNS K93600 for making aerospace composites nickel-based alloy

Very workable material and easy to machine.

COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL EXPANSION:
With its 36 % nickel content Invar 36 has one of the lowest thermal expansion of all alloys and metals, a near zero coefficient of linear thermal expansion between the standard room temperature, 20 °C and 230 °C (less than 1.3 x 10-6°C-1).

WELDABILITY AND DUCTILITY:
Invar is weldable, ductile and doesn’t show signs of stress corrosion cracking.

MACHINABILITY:
Alloy 36 / Invar 36 ‘free-cut’ is specially formulated to be easier to machine than standard invar and can be processed using conventional tooling and techniques. It has similar machining attributes to stainless steel.

STRENGTH AND TOUGHNESS:
High strength and toughness at low cryogenic temperatures
