Description
Super Invar ,A low expansion alloy consisting of 32% Nickel, 4% Cobalt, and balance Iron. Super Invar Alloy exhibits minimum thermal expansion at room temperatures (one half of Invar Alloy), as well as thermal expansion properties less than that of Invar Alloy in the 67/203°F (-55/95°C) temperature range. The minimal expansion of Super Invar over this range of temperatures, makes this alloy useful in many applications including structural components and substrates in instrument systems requiring precision measurements.
Application
Optical instruments . Telescopes . Laser instruments and equipment . Ring laser gyroscopes . Laser benches . Positioning devices . Metrology devices . Structural components . Substrates in instrument systems requiring precision measurements, and other applications that require lower expansivity than Invar Alloy provides.
