Introduction
Alloy 42 is a low expansion alloy which is very similar to Invar 36. It has a low expansion up to about 300ºC. Principally used as strip for semiconductor lead frames in integrated circuits and bi-metal strip, the alloy can be also used in ceramic to metal seals with alumina and the glass bulb envelope to metal seals.
A nickel-iron controlled-expansion alloy containing 41% nickel. It has a low and nominally constant coefficient of thermal expansion from room temperature to about 300°C.
whose coefficient of expansion makes it suitable for joining to ceramic chips in miniature electronic circuits.
Alloy 42 widely used for glass-to-metal sealing of components that are enclosed in a glass envelope, such as lamps and electron tubes.
Typical Uses and Applications
Alloy 42 (Nilo 42) is used for semiconductor lead frames in integrated circuits, bi-metal thermostat strip, thermostat rods, for ceramic-to-metal seals with alumina ceramics, and various glass-to-metal seals such as the core of copper-clad-wire for sealing into glass envelopes of electric bulbs, radio valves, television tubes and fluorescent lights.
