Product Description
4J36 strip, also known as Invar 36, is a low-expansion iron-nickel alloy composed of approximately 36% nickel and 64% iron. It exhibits an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion in the temperature range of −60°C to 250°C, making it highly suitable for precision instruments and sealing applications.
This strip alloy conforms to ASTM F1684 and is widely used in manufacturing electronic supports, glass-to-metal seals, thermostat components, aerospace instruments, and precision optical systems. Its dimensional stability and excellent mechanical properties under thermal stress make it a preferred material for applications requiring minimal deformation under temperature changes.

Key Features
- Exceptionally low thermal expansion from cryogenic to ~250°C
- Excellent dimensional stability and formability
- Good machinability and weldability
- High structural integrity in vacuum and sealed environments
- Compatible with glass and ceramic sealing processes
- Available in precision thicknesses with bright surface finish
Typical Applications
- Glass-to-metal sealed enclosures and headers
- Shadow masks and structural parts for CRTs and sensors
- Aerospace and aviation instrumentation
- Bimetal thermostatic components
- Electronic scale frames and supports
- Precision molds and measurement tools
- Laser/optical mounting brackets
