Nilo 48 Round Bar

Product Details

A nickel-iron controlled-expansion alloy containing 48% nickel. Its coefficient of thermal expansion is designed to match that of soft lead and soda-lime glasses. The alloy also has a high inflection point. Used for glass-to-metal seals in radio valves and incandescent electric light bulbs and for industrial thermostats that operate at temperatures up to 840°F (450°C).

STANDARD PRODUCT FORMS
Wire.
