| Anomet Products Inc., USA, has recently launched a full range of copper-cored steel alloys which are suitable for making glass-to-metal seals used in electrical switches and motor controls, where size and conductivity are important. These new alloys combine the conductivity of copper with low-thermal expansion materials and feature a complete metallurgical bond which provides total hermetic sealing between the metals. Permitting the use of smaller and lighter pins, they are offered in 0.5 to 10mm sizes with 2:1 and 3:1 ratios of the alloy to the copper core.
Supplied on spools, reels or wrapped coils, Anomet copper-cored steel alloys are available as Alloy 52 nickel-iron, Kovar� nickel-iron-cobalt, Alloy 42-6 nickel-chromium and Alloy 446SS iron-chromium, each with a copper core (100% IACS minimum conductivity). Any customer specified temper is offered, with dimensional tolerances to �0.01mm, depending upon diameter.
