Alloy-4J33/4J29 (Expansion alloy)
(Common Name: Kovar, Nilo K, KV-1, Dilver Po, Vacon 12)
Kovar Alloy 4J33/4J29:
Kovar Alloy commonly be divided into low expansion alloy and constant expansion alloy, which is also called sealing alloy. Expansion alloy besides has the specific thermal expansion coefficient, according to the different USES also requires a good sealing property, weldability and corrosion resistance, machinability and cutting, and in the use of expansion characteristics caused by the temperature range there is no obvious change of phase transformation, its product is commonly bar, sheet,strip,wire and tube and so on. Kovar is a Nickel-Iron-Cobalt, controlled expansion alloy. It's expansion characteristics match alumina ceramics. This alone ensures it is a highly popular controlled expansion alloys for hermetic sealing applications (Mainly used in Ceramic Metal Seal Assemblies)
Kovar Alloy 4J33/4J29 also known as Kovar alloy. it was invented to meet the need for a reliable glass-to-metal seal, which is required in electronic devices such as light bulbs, vacuum tubes, cathode ray tubes, and in vacuum systems in chemistry and other scientific research. Most metals cannot seal to glass because their coefficient of thermal expansion is not the same as glass, so as the joint cools after fabrication the stresses due to the differential expansion rates of the glass and metal cause the joint to crack.
Kovar Alloy 4J33/4J29 not only has thermal expansion similar to glass, but its nonlinear thermal expansion curve can often be made to match a glass, thus allowing the joint to tolerate a wide temperature range. Chemically, it bonds to glass via the intermediate oxide layer of nickel oxide and cobalt oxide; the proportion of iron oxide is low due to its reduction with cobalt. The bond strength is highly dependent on the oxide layer thickness and character. The presence of cobalt makes the oxide layer easier to melt and dissolve in the molten glass. A grey, grey-blue or grey-brown color indicates a good seal. A metallic color indicates lack of oxide, while black color indicates overly oxidized metal, in both cases leading to a weak joint.
Application:Mainly used in electric vacuum components and emission control, shock tube, igniting tube, glass magnetron, transistors, seal plug, relay, integrated circuits lead, chassis, brackets and other housing sealing.
Model: Electric-Isolators & Sleeve: Kovar 4J33 & Insulator: 96% Alumina
Electrical isolators, consist of metal sleeves brazed to each end of an insulating ceramic tube. They are used to introduce cryogenic fluids into a system and to provide electrical isolation of line components. Vacuum isolators are used to provide an electrical break between the vacuum system and other external components.
SGJ isolators typically are made from high-purity alumina ceramics and Metals. The metal hardware is generally a controlled-expansion Kovar 4J33, SUS 304 or OFHC Copper TU1. All materials and braze alloys used are chosen for their specific characteristics and ability to maintain the integrity of the seals for use in demanding applications and environments. The assemblies are brazed together with Silver Copper Eutectic Alloy.

OFHC Copper TU1:CTU1/C102 is an oxygen-free copper which has better forming, resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, and brazing characteristics than C110 ETP. CTU1/C102 has good solderability and corrosion resistance and is used for high current applications.Stainless Steel SUS 304L:SUS 304L Stainless Steel famous for its resistivity, fall under the category of Stainless Steel Tubes. Threaded, Hot Rolled, Cold Rolled, Heat Exchangers, Annealed, Pickled.... All these products belonging to the SUS 304L Tubes catalog serve as the prime building blocks of electrochemical, shipping, construction and gas industries.Metallized Alumina Ceramic:
Vacuum brazing of ceramic and metal requires metal coating in the welding area of ceramic. It ensures good air tightness of metal and alumina metallized ceramic brazing joint in vacuum environment. We SGJ have our own unique patented solder formula to ensure the stability and reliability of our products...
The key of Ceramic-Metal structure based on the vacuum tightness, so called sealing. And , Metallized ceramic bonding area Via vacuum brazing technology is the only solution.
Alumina Manufacturing Description:
Alumina Ceramics can be produced in a wide range of purities with additives designed to enhance its properties. Typical purities range from 85 to 99.7% although Precision Ceramics generally work over 99.7% material.
It can be injection molded, die pressed, isostatically pressed, slip cast and extruded. Once fired and sintered, it can only be machined using diamondgrinding methods but prior to sintering advanced green and biscuit machining techniques developed by Precision Ceramics allow more complex components to be manufactured using traditional machining methods. In addition Alumina can be readily joined to metals or other ceramics using metallising and brazing techniques.
Alumina can be machined in green, biscuit, or fully dense states. While in the green or biscuit form it can be machined relatively easily into complex geometries. However, the sintering process that is required to fully densify the material causes the alumiuna body to shrink approximately 20%. This shrinkage means that it is impossible to hold very tight tolerances when machining alumina pre-sintering. In order to achieve very tight tolerances, fully sintered material must be machined/ground with diamond tools. In this process a very precise diamond coated tool/wheel is used to abrade away the material until the desired form is created. Due to the inherit toughness and hardness of the material, this can be a time consuming and costly process.
Precision Ceramics specialises in tight tolerance, highly complex work and has extensive in-house machining facilities - including 4th & 5th axis machining centres, drilling, grinding, milling, polishing, sawing, tapping, threading and turning - to enable us to manufacture Alumina components to the highest specifications.
