Kanish Metals stands out as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of Kovar Bars and Rods right here in Dubai, UAE. We specialize in high-quality controlled expansion alloys that cater to industries needing precise thermal compatibility. Our Kovar products are meticulously crafted to meet the demanding performance standards of electronic, aerospace, and medical fields. With its low thermal expansion and robust sealing properties with glass and ceramics, Kovar is perfect for hermetic sealing and vacuum environments. At Kanish Metals, we prioritize strict quality control and compliance with international standards, delivering dependable, high-performance Kovar bars and rods to clients throughout the UAE and the broader Middle East.
Kovar Bars and Rods are made up of about 29% Nickel, 17% Cobalt, and the rest is Iron, along with small amounts of Manganese and Silicon. This iron-nickel-cobalt alloy is specifically engineered to align with the thermal expansion characteristics of glass and ceramics. Kovar boasts impressive dimensional stability, featuring a controlled coefficient of thermal expansion around 5.5 × 10⁻⁶/°C (20–200°C). It offers a tensile strength ranging from 520 to 620 MPa, a yield strength of about 415 MPa, and good ductility, making it an excellent choice for applications that require hermetic sealing and thermal compatibility across a wide temperature range.
