Expansion Alloy 4J50 Strips (UNS K94610) are wrought Fe–Ni–Co alloys formulated to match the CTE of soft sealing glasses and ceramics. Their optimized chemistry—Ni 50.5 %, Mn 0.60 %, Si 0.30 %, C 0.05 %, Cr 0.25 %, P 0.025 %, S 0.025 %, Al 0.10 %, Co 1.0 %, balance Fe—yields a stable CTE of 9.8 × 10⁻⁶ /°C from 20 → 100 °C rising gently to 10.6 × 10⁻⁶ /°C at 600 °C, ensuring virtually zero thermal stress in glass-to-metal seals. These strips maintain hermeticity and corrosion resistance in vacuum and mild-atmosphere environments, with a Curie point exceeding 400 °C for magnetic stability. Available in cold-rolled thicknesses from 0.2 mm to 3.5 mm and widths to 300 mm, 4J50 Strips form readily via stamping, slitting, and fine-blanking, producing diaphragms, bellows, feedthroughs, and sensor housings with tight tolerances. Heat-treat per YB/T 5235-2005 (900 °C × 1 h in H₂, controlled cool) to achieve “soft” or “hard” tempers, tailoring tensile strength (< 590 MPa soft; > 700 MPa hard) to application needs.

Condition | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Elongation (%) | Hardness (RB) |
---|---|---|---|
Soft (annealed) | < 590 | ~ 30 | ~ 73 |
Hard (tempered) | > 700 | ~ 15–25 | ~ 85 |

Density | 8.20 g/cm³ |
Melting Range | 1430 °C |
Thermal Conductivity (25 °C) | ~ 14 W/m·°C |
Electrical Resistivity (20 °C) | 0.44 µΩ·m |
Curie Point | ~ 430 °C |
CTE (20–100 °C) | 9.8 × 10⁻⁶ /°C |
CTE (20–300 °C) | 9.5 × 10⁻⁶ /°C |
CTE (20–600 °C) | 10.6 × 10⁻⁶ /°C |
YB/T 5235-2005 – Chinese standard for constant-expansion alloys
ASTM F15 – Controlled-expansion alloys for seals
UNS K94610 / W.No. 1.3981 – Material designation for 4J50
Electric Vacuum Industry: Vacuum tube seals, cathode‐ray feedthroughs
Hermetic Electronic Packages: Power semiconductor housings, sensor feedthroughs
Precision Instrumentation: Bellows, diaphragms, micro-valve components
Aerospace & Defense: High-power RF windows, avionics glass seals
Optoelectronics: LED and laser diode hermetic enclosures
Q1: What temperature range is 4J50 effective for?
A1: Continuous service from –60 °C to 400 °C with a stable CTE; intermittent exposures up to 600 °C maintain hermeticity.
Q2: How is “soft” vs. “hard” temper achieved?
A2: Anneal at 900 °C for 1 h in H₂, then cool ≤ 5 °C/min to 200 °C for “soft”; age or cold-work plus re-anneal yields “hard” (> 700 MPa tensile).
Q3: Can 4J50 Strips be welded to Kovar or stainless?
A3: Yes—TIG/GTAW and electron-beam methods join 4J50 to similar alloys and stainless steels without altering CTE or hermetic seal performance.
