Invar plate, also known as Invar 36, is well known for its extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and dimensional stability. As a result, many demanding applications needed by various industries utilize invar. Sandmeyer Steel Company offers SSC Invar 36 in custom cuts and patterns to match the need of any industry. Please visit the SSC Invar 36 section to learn more or continue reading to discover some industries in which invar has proved invaluable.
Invar 36 for the Aerospace Industry
The aerospace and automotive industries rely on aerospace composite tooling, machinery and precision instrumentation that can maintain tight dimensional tolerances with variation in temperature. Additionally, more advanced composites need to be cured at moderately high temperatures. SSC Invar 36 is used for aerospace applications for its ability to preserve the necessary tight tolerances with low thermal expansion.
Invar Alloy Parts for Power Generation
The power generation industry relies on wind turbines, steam turbines, and reciprocating compressors that are often exposed to high heat. As a strong, tough, and ductile alloy, SSC Invar 36's low expansion characteristics and ability to resist corrosion and metal fatigue resulting from high temperatures makes it an ideal alloy for the power generation industry.
Custom Cut Invar Plate for any Industry
No matter your industry or application, Sandmeyer Steel Company is equipped to provide the right materials to match your needs. As a matter of fact, Sandmeyer Steel Company boasts the largest inventory of specialty plate in North America with over 16 million pounds. SSC Invar 36 is available in full-size plates or custom shape or configuration and in thicknesses ranging from .250" (6.3mm) through 4.00" (101.6mm).
