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 Bar and Rod from Semih Metals finds extensive use in industries that require robust hermetic seals between metal and glass or ceramics. Its distinctive thermal expansion properties make it crucial for creating glass-to-metal and ceramic-to-metal seals. Key applications encompass electronic packaging, vacuum tubes, power transistors, diodes, microwave devices, and hybrid circuits. In the aerospace and defense sectors, Kovar is highly regarded for its reliability in high-performance electronic systems. It also plays a vital role in medical devices, instrumentation, and scientific research equipment.
