NILO ALLOY 48 A nickel-iron controlled-expansion alloy containing 48% nickel. Its coefficient of thermal expansion is designed to match that of soft lead and soda-lime glasses. The alloy also has a high inflection point. Used for glass-to-metal seals in radio valves and incandescent electric light bulbs and for industrial thermostats that operate at temperatures up to 840°F (450°C).
Cold working : Cold working is not suitable for this alloy as it tends to distort the coefficients of thermal expansion.
Annealing Nilo 48 is used in thermostats in industrial applications up to 450°C(840°F).
Applications The NILO48 alloy is used in the following applications:
Semiconductor lead frames in integrated circuits Bi-metal thermostat strip Thermostat rods Ceramic-to-metal seals Glass-to-metal seals for television tubes, fluorescent lights.
