Knowledge of precision alloy materials

A precision alloy with abnormal thermal expansion characteristics, also known as thermal expansion alloy. Expansion alloy is divided into low expansion alloy and fixed expansion alloy, the latter is also called sealing alloy. The average expansion coefficient of the low-expansion alloy below the bending point is lower than 3×10-6°C-1; the average expansion coefficient of the constant-expansion alloy below the bending point is about (4-10)×10-6°C-1. In addition to having a specific thermal expansion coefficient, expansion alloys also require good sealing properties, weldability, corrosion resistance, machinability and easy cutting properties according to different uses, and are not allowed to cause expansion characteristics within the use temperature range. Obviously changing phase transition.
