Applications

Used for glass-to-metal sealing of components that are enclosed in a glass envelope, such as lamps and electron tubes.

Machinability

The alloy is readily machinable by conventional techniques.

Forming

Ductility and thus formability are very good.

Welding

The alloy may be welded by conventional methods.

Heat Treatment

An annealing heat treatment may be used. The alloy is not hardenable by heat treatment.

Forging

Forging may be done at 2200 F. As is true of all the high nickel content alloys care should be taken to avoid contamination from sulfur due to long soaking time in a furnace atmosphere.

Cold Working

The alloy has good ductility and is readily cold worked.

Annealing

Anneal at 1450F (788C) followed by air cooling.

Hardening

Hardens due to cold working only.
