NILO® Alloy 36, 42, 48, K UNS K93600 & K93601/W. Nr.1.3912

Alloy 36 (1.3912/K93600) is ferromagnetic at temperatures below the Curie temperature and non-magnetic at temperatures above. Cold deformation reduces the thermal expansion. A 3-step ageing treatment stabilizes the coefficient of expansion within a selected temperature range.

Applications of VDM® Alloy 36

Typical applications are:

· Manufacturing, storage and transport of liquefied gases

· Components for OLED screens

· Measuring and control devices for temperatures below 200 °C (392 °F), e.g. for thermostats

· Bushings for screw or rivet joints between various metals

· Bi-metal components and thermostatic bi-metals, where VDM® Alloy 36 is the passive component

· Forms for the production of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFP), especially for the aerospace industry

· Frameworks for electronic control units in satellites and space travel down to -200 °C (-328 °F)

· Support elements for electro-magnetic lenses in laser control units

· Pendulum

· Components for the automotive industry

· Overhead power lines in an alloyed, age-hardenable variant

· Transport of liquefied hydrogen

· High voltage cables
