Principal Design Features
|
|
This is an iron-nickel alloy containing approximately 6% chromium - hence the alloy designation. It is one of the family of glass sealing alloys, in this instance designed to match the coefficient of expansion of 0120 glass.
|
|
|
Applications
|
|
Glass sealing of double pane windows and cathode ray tubes.
|
|
|
Machinability
|
|
The alloy is readily machinable by conventional techniques.
|
|
|
Forming
|
|
Ductility and thus formability are very good.
|
|
|
Welding
|
|
The alloy may be welded by conventional methods.
|
|
|
Heat Treatment
|
|
An annealing heat treatment may be used. The alloy is not hardenable by heat treatment.
|
|
|
Forging
|
|
Forging may be done at 2200 F. As is true of all the high nickel content alloys care should be taken to avoid contamination from sulfur due to long soaking time in a furnace atmosphere.
|
|
|
Cold Working
|
|
The alloy has good ductility and is readily cold worked.
|
|
|
Annealing
|
|
Anneal at 1450F (788C) followed by air cooling.
|
|
|
Hardening
|
|
Hardens due to cold working only.
