What is Invar 36?
Invar 36® is an iron-based alloy with 36 % nickel. Invar
36® also has excellent mechanical properties and a low tendency to fatigue in a
cryogenic environment. Invar 36 (Nilo, Nilvar, Permalloy D, FeNi36, and 64FeNi)
is a nickel-iron alloy notable for its extremely low thermal expansion. Invar
is an alloy of iron that expands very little when heated; it contains 64% iron
and 36 percent nickel. Invar was formerly used for absolute standards of length
measurement and is now used for surveying tapes, watches, and other
temperature-sensitive devices. Invar requires special machining processes that
include stress-relieving heat treatments for a consistent CTE in a precision
machined part to ensure CTE and dimensional stability in service.
What is the disadvantage of Invar36?
Invar material is challenging to machine due to its high
strength and hardness. It requires specialized machining techniques and tools,
which can add to the overall manufacturing costs. Invar 36® is effective in
extreme temperatures ranging from -150°C (-238°F) up to 260°C (500°F), while
Invar 42®—or SuperInvar® — maintains nearly constant dimensions in temperatures
ranging from -32°C (-25.6F) to 275°C (527°F). Invar® is used primarily for
controlled expansion and magnetic applications. It is strong, tough, pliable,
and highly resistant to corrosion. Invar® is always magnetic in the temperature
range, exhibiting low expansion characteristics. Invar 36 alloys are soft like
Type 304 and Type 316 austenitic stainless steels; the free-cut variation,
particularly machines, are similar to those two stainless grades. They all have
the same high work-hardening rate, which requires care in machining.
What are the thermal properties of
invar 36?
SSC INVAR 36 nickel alloy plate is an austenitic
nickel-iron alloy containing 36% nickel. Invar 36 (FeNi36) is a nickel-iron,
low-expansion alloy with a near-zero thermal expansion rate and can maintain
almost constant dimensions from cryogenic temperatures to 260°C. It has become
a popular choice when it comes to composite material manufacturing. A general
expectation for Invar materials is that magnetism causes a negative thermal
expansion coefficient to counteract a positive thermal expansion of the
lattice. This magneto-volume effect arises from the rich magnetic landscape of
iron and its dependence on the volume and local atomic configurations. Due to
this, demand has grown for aluminum-clad invar alloy wire, which has a thick
corrosion resistance layer, high strength, and good electric conductivity,
reducing transmission loss and CO2 emissions.
