CNC Machining in Kovar

Kovar is a controlled-expansion alloy engineered to match the thermal expansion of glass and ceramics. InstaVoxel offers precision CNC machining for Kovar components used in hermetic sealing, electronics, photonics, and aerospace applications.

Advantages of Kovar

Kovar’s unique thermal expansion behavior allows reliable glass-to-metal and ceramic-to-metal seals, making it essential for vacuum-tight and thermally stable assemblies.

Key Features
Controlled thermal expansion compatible with glass and ceramics
Excellent hermetic sealing performance
Stable mechanical properties under thermal cycling
Good weldability and plating compatibility
