4J29 (Kovar)
4J29 alloy is also called Kovar alloy. The alloy has a linear expansion coefficient similar to that of borosilicate hard glass at 20-450°C, a higher Curie point, and good low-temperature structural stability. The oxide film of the alloy is dense and can be well wetted by glass. It does not interact with mercury and is suitable for use in instruments containing mercury discharge. It is the main sealing structural material of electric vacuum devices.
