KOVAR parts seal preparation and physical properties

Kovar® is a vacuum-melted iron-nickel-cobalt low-expansion alloy. The chemical composition content is controlled in a very narrow range to ensure accurate and balanced thermal expansion performance. At the same time, strict quality control during the manufacturing process of KOVAR machining parts also ensures balance Its physical and mechanical properties are more suitable for deep drawing, stamping and various cutting processes.

Material use

Kovar® is used for vacuum sealing of hard glass and ceramics, and is widely used in electron tubes, microwave tubes, transistors and diodes. On integrated circuits, it is used for flat integrated circuits and dual in-line packages.

Seal preparation

All parts made by Kovar® should be degassed and annealed in a wet hydrogen atmosphere. Hydrogen is injected into water at room temperature and gets wet through blisters. Care must be taken to prevent surface carbonization. The heat treatment furnace must have a cooling chamber that provides the same atmosphere. The heat treatment is carried out in the temperature range of 1540/2010°F (838/1099°C). The heat treatment time starts from a low temperature and rises to a high temperature in 20 minutes. Then the parts are moved to the cooling zone and cooled to 570°F (299° C) Then take it out.

When sealing between metal and hard glass, it is recommended that the metal has an oxide film. The preferred oxide film is thin and tightly adsorbed on the metal surface treatment. Such an oxide film can be heated to 1200/1290°F (650/700°C) in an atmospheric environment and continue for a period of time until the dark gray surface layer turns into a light brown oxide film.

  • Density 0.3020lb/in3;
  • Thermal conductivity 120.0 BTU-in/hr/ft²/°F;
  • Elasticity coefficient (E) 20.0 x 103 ksi;
  • Resistance (70.0°F) 294.0 ohm-cir-mil/ft;
  • Curie temperature 815°F;
  • The melting point is 2640°F.

Kovar alloy machining are magnetic below the Curie temperature, and the magnetic properties depend on heat treatment. The smaller the hardness, the higher the permeability and the smaller the hysteresis loss.

What are the characteristics of the CNC turning process?

What are the characteristics of the CNC turning process? Turning is a method of cutting the workpiece on the lathe by rotating the workpiece relative to the tool. Turning is the most basic and common cutting processing method. Most workpieces with revolving surfaces can be processed by turning methods, such as inner and outer cylindrical surfaces, inner and outer conical surfaces, end surfaces, grooves, threads, and rotary forming surfaces. Common lathes can be divided into horizontal lathes, floor lathes, vertical lathes, turret lathes and profiling lathes, and most of them are horizontal lathes.

The Influence of CNC Turning and Milling Machining on Turning Efficiency

The cutting efficiency of CNC lathes will be affected by human factors, environmental factors and the machine tool itself. Let's talk about the influence of cutting amount and cutting tools on CNC lathe processing among many factors.   Reasonable cutting amount can improve the efficiency of CNC lathe. When the   laser  cutting  speed is increased by 10 times and the feed rate is increased by 20 times, far beyond the traditional cutting forbidden zone, the cutting mechanism has undergone a fundamental change.   The result of CNC turning  and milling combined processing is: the metal removal rate per unit power is increased by 30% to 40%, the cutting force is reduced by 30%, the cutting life of the tool is increased by 70%, and the cutting left on the workpiece is greatly reduced. Heat, cutting vibration almost disappeared; cutting processing has taken an essential leap. According to the current situation of CNC lathes, increase the feed per tooth, improve pr...

Alternate vehicles, transportation equipment and field work machine oil in all seasons adapt to changes in temperature

  Foreign oil companies adopt tracking services for key users. Whenever the oil change period is approaching and users need to buy oil, they will test the oil for free in advance, issue an inspection report, and actively provide key users with a scientific basis for oil change. This kind of thoughtful service not only shortens the distance with users, but also improves the credibility of the brand. The alternation of the four seasons requires the oil used in vehicles, transportation equipment and field work tools to adapt to changes in temperature, especially in the north. Lubricants of different viscosity grades are usually replaced at the end of autumn and spring, thus forming a peak season for lubricating oil sales. Foreign oil companies attach great importance to the promotional activities in these two seasons. In the autumn, they launched low pour point, low viscosity grades of multi-grade antifreeze and antifreeze, and accompanied the promotion a...
