View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.TECHALLOY GLASSEAL 42 is an iron-nickel alloy with thermal expansion that closely matches the 1075 glass. Also, it is sometimes used for sealing action for the 0120 and 0010 glasses. It has the lowest expansivity of the iron-nickel alloys that are commonly used for glass-sealing applications. It is made under strict metallurgical control to provide uniformity of performance. Among its uses are sealed-beam automobile headlamps, ceramic-to-glass seals and industrial lamps.
