Material 1.3912 or Invar 36 is a nickel-iron alloy with low thermal expansion, and this alloy contains 36% nickel. It retains almost constant dimensions over the range of normal atmospheric temperatures and has a low coefficient of thermal expansion from cryogenic temperatures up to about 260 °C. The alloy also maintains high strength and toughness at cryogenic temperatures. Material 1.3912 is a nickel-iron alloy with a thermal expansion rate of about one tenth that of carbon steel at temperatures up to 204 °C.
This alloy has been used for applications where dimensional changes due to temperature fluctuations must be minimized, such as in radio and electronic devices, aircraft control systems, optical and laser systems, etc.
Invar 36 can be welded using conventional methods. Care must be taken not to overheat the molten metal. This avoids spattering of the molten metal and depressions in the welding area.
The rods made of material 1.3912 are corrosion-resistant in a dry atmosphere at room temperature. Under unfavorable conditions, i.e. in a humid atmosphere, corrosion may occur in the form of rust.
Properties of material 1.3912:
- good strength and toughness at low temperatures
- melting range: 1340 °C
- good ductility
Main application areas of material 1.3912:
- aircraft control systems
- optical systems
- cryogenic components
- automotive industry
- manufacturing, storage and transport of liquefied gases
