SSC Invar 36 was developed for use in applications where dimensional stability is essential. It is a nickel-iron alloy with a very low coefficient of thermal expansion from cryogenic temperatures to 200 deg C (390 deg F). It is utilized in aerospace composite tooling and die applications, as well as laser components, and cryogenic components and piping: liquefied natural gas production, storage, and transportation. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming. Filing Code: Fe-158. Producer or source: Sandmeyer Steel Company. Originally published December 2011, revised February 2012.

VDM 36 (Pernifer 36) is a binary iron-nickel alloy with a particularly low coefficient of linear thermal expansion. This alloy is used for applications where dimensional changes due to temperature variation must be minimized or in conjunction with high expansion alloys in applications where a motion is desired when the temperature changes. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Ni-775. Producer or source: VDM Metals GmbH.
