Invar 42, or UNS K94100, is an iron-nickel alloy that contains about 41–43% nickel, with the remainder being iron, along with small amounts of carbon, manganese, and silicon. It’s well-known for its remarkably low coefficient of thermal expansion. In terms of mechanical properties, Invar 42 boasts a tensile strength of around 450–700 MPa, a yield strength of about 275 MPa, and an elongation range of 30–45%, depending on its temper and treatment. This alloy maintains excellent dimensional stability over a wide temperature range, making it perfect for precision applications.

To improve the surface finish of Hastelloy forgings, use techniques like polishing, grinding, or shot peening. Additionally, chemical or electrochemical cleaning can remove surface contaminants and enhance smoothness.
The most suitable forging techniques for Hastelloy include open-die forging and closed-die forging, which ensure optimal material flow and minimize defects. These methods provide the necessary strength and precision for high-performance applications.
To determine if Hastelloy forgings meet your needs, evaluate their chemical composition, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance in your specific operating conditions. Conduct material testing or consult with suppliers for tailored solutions based on your application requirements.
Invar 42 Bar and Rod are commonly utilized in industries where maintaining dimensional stability and minimizing thermal expansion are crucial. Typical applications include electronic components, telecommunications, aerospace instrumentation, precision measurement devices, and cryogenic engineering. The alloy’s stability across varying temperatures makes it ideal for lead frames, glass-to-metal seals, and shadow masks in CRTs. It’s also employed in tooling for aerospace composite fabrication and high-precision instruments like gyroscopes and laser components. Invar 42 is particularly preferred in environments where thermal fluctuations could jeopardize structural integrity or precise alignments, ensuring long-lasting reliability and accuracy.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
