Description

Invar 42® is a nickel-iron alloy that contains 41% nickel and exhibits excellent controlled expansion qualities and is used primarily for controlled expansion and magnetic applications. Invar 42® is also highly effective in magnetic applications. It can be hot formed, cold formed or machined. Nilo 42 possesses many of the qualities of the other Invar nickel iron alloys. It is effective in extreme temperatures ranging from -32C to 275C.

Equivalent Materials

This material data has been provided by Hempel Special Metals.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
