Kovar rods, primarily composed of iron, cobalt, and nickel, are resistant to galvanic corrosion due to their similar electrochemical properties with most alloys, reducing the risk when paired with compatible materials.
Yes, Kovar bar can be welded, but it requires special techniques and precautions due to its unique composition and thermal expansion properties. Proper heat control and filler metals are essential.
Kovar rods typically come in diameters ranging from 1/8" to 4" and lengths of up to 12 feet. Finishes include mill, polished, and brushed surfaces for various applications.
Kovar Bars and Rods find extensive use in industries where precision and reliability are paramount. They are particularly suited for creating glass-to-metal seals in electronics, vacuum tubes, semiconductors, and microwave devices. Their controlled thermal expansion is crucial in aerospace and defense systems for components that face extreme conditions. Moreover, Kovar is commonly utilized in medical devices, optical systems, and telecommunications equipment. Its ability to maintain integrity during temperature fluctuations guarantees long-lasting and reliable performance. As a result, Kovar continues to be the material of choice for specialized applications that demand unmatched durability and dimensional stability.
