KOVAR (Kovar alloy) is an iron-nickel-cobalt-based alloy (with a typical composition of 29% Ni, 17% Co, and a surplus of Fe). Due to its coefficient of thermal expansion highly matching that of borosilicate glass (about 5-10 ppm/K), it has become the core material for glass-metal seals.

KOVAR (iron-nickel-cobalt alloy) plays a core role in ceramic-metal seals by taking advantage of its thermal expansion coefficient that matches specific ceramics (such as alumina and beryllium oxide) to achieve reliable connections with high air tightness and high temperature resistance. It is a key material for critical packaging technologies in aerospace, high-end electronics and other fields.

Kovar Machining Services

Kovar alloy—renowned for its ultra-low thermal expansion coefficient and exceptional compatibility with glass, ceramics, and other materials in high-temperature environments—requires specialized machining expertise to unlock its full potential. Our Kovar CNC Machining Services are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industries where precision, thermal stability, and material integrity are non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kovar (also known as FeNiCo alloy) is a nickel-iron-cobalt alloy with a thermal expansion coefficient matching that of hard glass and ceramic. Its core characteristics for processing include:
 
  • Low thermal expansion rate (matching glass/ceramic, ideal for hermetic sealing)
  • Good machinability, weldability and formability
  • High corrosion resistance and mechanical stability at high/low temperatures
  • Suitable for precision processing of small, complex components (e.g., electronic connectors, vacuum devices)
We provide full-process precision machining for Kovar components, including:
 
  • CNC turning/milling: Tolerance up to ±0.001mm, support micro-scale feature processing (e.g., tiny holes, thin walls)
  • Grinding (surface/centerless grinding): Surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.2μm
  • Laser cutting/engraving: For complex shapes and precise marking
  • Hermetic sealing (glass-to-metal/ceramic-to-metal bonding): Leak rate ≤ 1×10⁻⁹ mbar·L/s
  • Heat treatment: Stress relief and performance optimization for Kovar alloys
Our Kovar components are widely applied in high-precision industries globally:
 
  • Aerospace & aviation: Satellite connectors, avionics hermetic packages
  • Semiconductor: Vacuum chambers, wafer processing equipment parts
  • Telecommunications: RF connectors, microwave device components
  • Medical devices: Precision sensors, hermetic medical instrument housings
  • Electronic packaging: Hermetic headers, transistor bases
We implement strict quality control throughout the entire process:
 
  • Raw material inspection: Verify Kovar alloy composition (Ni 29%, Co 17%, Fe balance) via spectral analysis before processing
  • In-process inspection: 100% dimensional check with CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine), optical comparator
  • Final inspection: Helium leak testing (for sealed components), surface defect detection, thermal expansion coefficient verification
  • Certification: Provide material certificates (Mill Test Report), inspection reports, and comply with ASTM F15, DIN 17744 standards
  • MOQ: Flexible, 1 piece for prototype/custom samples; 100 pieces for mass production (negotiable for large orders)
  • Lead time: Prototypes (3-5 working days); Mass production (7-15 working days, depending on complexity and quantity)
  • Rush order: Support urgent processing (1-3 working days for small batches) with confirmed requirements
Yes, we fully support custom processing based on your drawings or samples:
 
  • Accept drawing formats: PDF, DWG, STEP, IGES, SolidWorks
