Kovar Seal Rings & Frames for Hermetic Packaging

Kovar Seal Rings & Frames for Hermetic Packaging

Serving as the essential structural foundation for mission-critical electronics in aerospace and defense, our high-purity Kovar seal rings and frames ensure flawless glass-to-metal and ceramic-to-metal sealing. Thermal & Hermetic Advantage: Engineered with a precise Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) match to borosilicate glass and alumina, these components eliminate mechanical stress during severe temperature cycling, guaranteeing reliable, leak-free performance from cryogenic states to high-temperature soldering.

Technical Specifications

Process Capabilities

  • Material Specification: Manufactured from high-purity Kovar (ASTM F-15) Iron-Nickel-Cobalt alloy for optimal metallurgical stability.
  • CTE Matching: Precisely matched thermal expansion characteristics to Alumina (Al₂O₃) and Borosilicate glass for zero-stress thermal cycling.
  • Manufacturing Precision: Advanced high-speed stamping and CNC machining achieving strict dimensional tolerances of ±0.05mm or better.
  • Thermal Processing: Controlled stress-relief annealing ensures structural integrity and prevents stress fractures during subsequent sealing processes.
  • Hermeticity Compliance: Creates robust frameworks capable of consistently exceeding the stringent fine/gross leak rate requirements of MIL-STD-883.
  • Surface Readiness: Superior surface finish and purity provide an ideal, defect-free foundation for downstream plating, seam welding, or brazing.

Applications

  • Optical Communication (e.g., Butterfly Packages)
  • TO-Can Style Transistor Packages
  • Hybrid Microcircuit (HIC) Enclosures
  • Microwave and RF Module Packages
  • Vacuum Windows and Feedthroughs
  • Sensor and Detector Housings
