Elvis Nickel Alloys stands out as a top-notch manufacturer and supplier of Invar 36 Sheets and Plates, proudly based in Houston, USA. We specialize in providing precision-engineered materials that cater to industries needing outstanding thermal stability. Invar 36, a unique nickel-iron alloy with 36% nickel, is crafted for its ultra-low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it perfect for applications where even the slightest dimensional change under temperature fluctuations is unacceptable. Our Invar 36 sheets and plates are produced to meet the rigorous standards of aerospace, scientific, and industrial sectors, guaranteeing exceptional flatness, machinability, and corrosion resistance. At Elvis Nickel Alloys, we are committed to delivering reliable supply and consistent product quality to customers around the globe.
Invar 36 Sheets and Plates are made up of roughly 36% nickel and 64% iron, with only trace amounts of carbon, manganese, and other elements. This alloy is known for its incredibly low thermal expansion (~1.3 x 10⁻⁶/°C) across a range from cryogenic temperatures up to about 260°C. It boasts a tensile strength of 490–620 MPa, along with high dimensional stability and good ductility. Invar 36 retains excellent mechanical properties in both cryogenic and ambient conditions. Its low magnetic permeability and ease of machining make it an ideal choice for precision manufacturing environments that require high stability and tight tolerances.
