High Precision 4J29 Alloy Wire For Fe-Ni-Co Wire Kovar Type Sealing Alloy

Product Overview:
4J29 alloy wire, also known as a Fe-Ni-Co sealing alloy or Kovar-type wire, is widely used in applications requiring glass-to-metal hermetic sealing. It contains approximately 29% nickel and 17% cobalt, which gives it a controlled thermal expansion closely matched with borosilicate glass. This makes it ideal for use in electronic tubes, vacuum relays, infrared sensors, and aerospace-grade components.

Material Composition:

• Nickel (Ni): ~29%

• Cobalt (Co): ~17%

• Iron (Fe): Balance

• Other elements: trace amounts of Mn, Si, C, etc.
