DIN 17745 Grade NiCr42-6 soft annealed (+A)

DIN 17745 Grade NiCr42-6 soft annealed (+A) introduction

The iron alloy with special thermal expansion NiCr42-6, material number 1.3946, is used for compounds of metal and glass, for example fusions with TV piston glas or flash bulbs. The break point temperature (temperature at which a break point in the expansion-temperature-curve occurs) is 265 degrees C. The material has extremely low thermal expansion at 350 degrees C. The cupping index at 1 mm thickness is 9.5 mm.
