Invar 36

Invar 36 CNC Machining Applications & Parts

Invar 36 is a unique nickel-iron alloy renowned for its exceptionally low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) at room and slightly elevated temperatures. This "dimensionally stable" superalloy is ideal for applications requiring extreme precision despite temperature fluctuations. Our specialized CNC machining processes are tailored to handle Invar 36's work-hardening characteristics to deliver highly stable components.

Typical Parts We Machine from Invar 36:

• Aerospace & Defense: Laser housing components, satellite structures, precision mounts, optical platform supports
• Telecommunications: Waveguide components, RF cavity resonators, microwave filter bodies
• Scientific Instruments: Metrology frames, telescope parts, clock pendulums, precision measuring equipment
• Molding & Tooling: Composite molding tools, fixtures for composite layup, dimensionally stable jigs

Our Machining Advantage:

We employ slow, controlled machining speeds with sharp, specialized tooling to effectively manage Invar 36's tendency to work-harden, ensuring stress-free cuts and maintaining the critical dimensional stability the alloy is known for.
