INVAR alloys have a uniquely low thermal expansion coefficient and as the name suggests (derived from “invariable”) the material shows no or little changes in dimension at specific temperatures.
Some key applications of INVAR alloys include thermostat devices, magnetic shielding, metrology devices and many more.

Bimetallic Corrosion
Bimetallic corrosion is the phenomena by which preferential corrosion will appear between two joined metals of different galvanic status with the corrosion attacking the anodic metal.
The most common way to protect against bimetallic corrosion is by relatively simple use of plastic or rubber as dielectric insulators.
The CLU Converter Process
The CLU converter process is part of a number of modern processes which focus on driving more efficient, cost effective steelmaking and in particular through secondary refining processes.
Advantages of the CLU process include among others, temperature control and price advantage over similar processes.
