Low-CTE Metals and Their Importance

As low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) metals, these materials demonstrate a significantly reduced expansion rate during temperature increases compared to standard alloys. This translates into superior stability over wide temperature ranges, establishing these alloys as an optimal solution for developing calibration instruments, watches/clocks, engine pistons, conducting systems, and electronics.

Whether you need magnetic shielding foil, glass-to-glass sealing, or glass-to-metal sealing, we uphold the highest quality standards, leveraging our extensive experience as a leading alloys company.

We can provide:

  • Flat products from .002” THK foil to 2”+ plate
  • Round products from .0009” DIA wire to 15”+ bar


Your specifications are our command! We strive to deliver exactly what you need, be it from our extensive inventory or custom production, ensuring your complete satisfaction.

About Magnetic Shielding Materials

These materials, like Alloy 42, Kovar, and Super Invar 32-5, and other high-permeability alloys, are specifically designed to protect electronic devices from magnetic or electromagnetic interference. This protection enhances the performance and longevity of sensitive components in various applications ranging from aerospace and medical equipment to telecommunication and consumer electronics.

Superior Features

Magnetic shielding metals are known for their unique ability to create a barrier against magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Common types include Soft Iron, Nickel Iron Alloys, and Silicon Steel.

Glass Sealing Alloys

Glass sealing alloys, also known as glass-to-metal sealing alloys, provide a reliable hermetic seal between glass and metal components. These alloys, including Alloy 42, Alloy 52, and Kovar, are crucial in many applications, such as vacuum tubes, electronics packaging, and specialty lighting.

Unparalleled Performance

Glass sealing alloys are known for their excellent glass-to-metal sealing properties. Common types include Iron-Nickel Alloys and Copper-Based Alloys.
