Invar 36 - UNS K93600 Sheet

Invar 36® (Alloy 36) Sheet is a 36% nickel-iron alloy that exhibits a near zero rate of thermal expansion which is roughly one tenth the expansion rate of carbon steel at temperatures from around -100°C up to 200°C.

Along with this very low coefficient of linear thermal expansion over a broad range of temperatures, up to around 200 °C. Invar 36 Sheet retains superior strength and toughness at cryogenic temperatures, making it suitable for a variety of low temperature applications. Invar 36 is Available from stock in the flowing specifications ASTM F-1684, UNS K93603, UNS K93050

Invar 36 Sheet is available in two variations. One is the conventional Invar alloy, used generally for its optimum low expansion properties. The second is a variation of the basic alloy known as Free-Cut Invar 36® alloy (UNS K93050). This alloy has shown improved machinability for applications where high productivity is important. It is also a 36% nickel-iron alloy, but with a small addition of selenium to enhance machinability.
