Aiman Metals exports Nilo Alloy 48 Bars and Rods in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, providing precision-made components suitable for glass-to-metal seals and electronic use. Nilo 48 is a nickel-iron alloy with a thermal expansion coefficient similar to that of borosilicate glass, making it highly compatible for sealing and electronic interconnects. Aiman Metals also offers cold-drawn and fully annealed bars of different diameters to ASTM F30 specifications. Aiman Metals’ Nilo 48 rods are appreciated in applications that involve strict tolerances, dimensional stability, and thermal material compatibility.
Nilo Alloy 48 contains ~48% nickel and balance iron. It provides moderate strength with tensile strength of ~450–550 MPa and a low, controlled coefficient of thermal expansion up to 450°C. The alloy possesses good magnetic qualities and is non-aging if heat-treated adequately. It also provides good formability and machinability in the annealed state.

Maintain Nilo Alloy 48 bars by storing them in a dry environment, avoiding contact with corrosive substances, cleaning with non-abrasive materials, and inspecting regularly for damage or corrosion.
Yes, Nilo Alloy 48 Bars and Rods can be customized in size and length to meet specific requirements, ensuring they are tailored for diverse industrial and engineering applications.
Nilo Alloy 48 bars and rods excel in high-temperature environments due to their exceptional thermal expansion control, oxidation resistance, and stability, making them ideal for aerospace, electronic, and industrial applications.
Nilo 48 Bars and Rods are mainly utilized in hermetic glass-to-metal seals, electronic enclosures, transistor headers, and relay components. It is widely used in vacuum tubes, semiconductor packages, and sensor assembly. Because it is thermally expandable compatible with glass and ceramic, it finds applications in optoelectronics, light sets, and microwave components. Nilo 48 provides consistent thermal bonding in assemblies with temperature cycling, maintaining dimensional integrity with aging.
