Controlled Expansion Alloys

NAS 36

  • JISPD
  • UNSK93600
  • DIN/EN1.3912

NAS 36 is an alloy with nickel (36%) and iron as its main components. Because its coefficient of thermal expansion is extremely low, at about 1/10 that of 18-8 stainless steel, thermal stress caused by temperature changes can be held to a very low level, and complex shapes (wave, bellows, etc.) like those required with other low-temperature materials are not necessary. NAS 36 also shows high toughness at low temperatures and provides excellent weldability. Nippon Yakin supplies NAS 36 in sheet and strip forms.

Weldability NAS 36 has good weldability. Joints of thin sheet materials can be welded by TIG welding without a filler, even in seam welding.
Applications Bimetals, LNG tankers, molds, parts requiring low coefficient of thermal expansion.
