Alloy 46 superalloy

Alloy 46(UNS K94600, NiLo46) controls expansion alloy, 46% nickel composition, and balance iron for a variety of electronic applications, especially for glass and ceramic seals.

The controlled expansion alloy contains 46% Ni/Fe balance; Used in a variety of electronic applications, especially for glass and ceramic seals.

Alloy 46 Purpose

Used for making iron nickel cobalt alloy strip, bar, plate and pipe with hard glass.

It is suitable for electric vacuum devices such as transmitting tube, oscillation tube, ignition tube, transistor, tube seal plug and relay shell.

With a certain coefficient of linear expansion in the temperature range of 20℃-450℃, it can be firmly sealed with hard glass.

Ghi chú:
1. The Vickers hardness of the annealed strip (sheet) should be no more than 170.
2. For the unannealed strip (sheet) delivered, after heat treat at 900℃, and then hold for 30 min, the Vickers hardness should be no more than 170.
