4j42 Expansion Precision Alloy Hollow Round Bar For Sealig Structural Material
Product description and application:
Alloy 42 is a 41% nickel-iron controlled expansion alloy which has been used in a wide variety of glass-to-metal sealing applications.While the expansion properties of this alloy most closely match 1075 glass, it has also been used in seals for the 0120 and 0010 glasses. It may also be used with hard glasses if a thin edged tubular seal is used. For seals that are not hydrogen annealed prior to sealing, a variation of this alloy containing small additions fo titanium, Glass Sealing 42 Gas-Free, has been used to promote gas-free sealing characteristics.
Alloy 42 has been used for the glass-to-metal seals in electronic tubes, automotive and industrial lamps, transformer and capacitor bushings and other glass-to-metal and ceramic-to-metal applications.
4J42 process performance and requirements:
1, 4J42 forming properties: the alloy is easy to carry out cold and
hot processing. The hot working temperature should not be too high,
the heating time should not be too long, and heating in a
sulfur-containing atmosphere should be avoided. When the cold
strain rate of the strip is greater than 75%, plastic anisotropy is
caused after annealing. The cold strain rate is between 10% and
15%. When heated to 950~1050 °C (inevitable during the brazing
process), the crystal grains grow significantly, which causes the
alloy to decrease in plasticity. For thin sections, the vacuum
tightness of the metal may also be lost. . Therefore, the final
strain rate of the finished product should be controlled at around
60% [2, 5].
2, 4J42 welding performance: the alloy has good welding
performance, can be brazed and spot welded. The alloy should be
pre-oxidized before being sealed with materials such as soft glass.
3, 4J42 parts heat treatment process: heat treatment can be divided
into: stress relief annealing, intermediate annealing and
pre-oxidation treatment.
(1) Stress relief annealing: In order to eliminate the residual
stress of the parts after machining, stress relief annealing is
performed: 430 ~ 540 ° C, heat preservation for 1 ~ 2 h, furnace
cooling or air cooling.
(2) Intermediate annealing: in order to eliminate the work
hardening phenomenon caused by the alloy in the cold rolling, cold
drawing and cold stamping process, in order to facilitate the
processing. The workpiece should be heated to 700-800 ° C in a
vacuum or protective atmosphere, and kept for 30-60 min, then
cooled, air cooled or water quenched.
(3) Pre-oxidation treatment: When the combination gold is used as a
sealing material, pre-oxidation treatment should be performed
before sealing. Make the surface of the alloy
A uniform, dense oxide film. The parts were heated at 1100 ° C in
saturated wet hydrogen for 30 min and then oxidized in air at about
800 ° C for 5-10 min. The weight gain of the parts is suitable in
the range of 0.1 to 0.3 mg/cm2 [6].
The alloy cannot be hardened by heat treatment.
4, 4J42 surface treatment process: Before heat treatment, welding
or glass sealing, it is necessary to remove dirt and grease on the
metal surface. When the oxide layer is severe, it may be
sandblasted or first immersed in molten alkali, and then pickled.
The slightly scaled skin can be pickled with a 25% hydrochloric
acid solution at 70 °C.
5, 4J42 cutting and grinding performance: the alloy's cutting
characteristics are similar to austenitic stainless steel.
High-speed steel or carbide tools are used for machining, low-speed
machining, and coolant can be used for cutting. Good grinding
performance.
