Nilo 36

Nilo 36 - Low Expansion Alloy

Nilo 36 is a nickel-iron alloy with a low coefficient of thermal expansion, typically used in applications requiring precision dimensional stability and minimal expansion when exposed to temperature changes. This alloy, primarily composed of nickel and iron, is known for its excellent resistance to thermal expansion, making it ideal for applications in electronics, optical components, and other precision instruments.

Nilo 36 is commonly used in applications where controlled expansion is required, such as in the manufacture of electronic devices, optical mounts, and in the aerospace and automotive industries, where dimensional stability over a range of temperatures is crucial.
