Rupal Metals is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of Delhi, India, which deals in high-grade Kovar Bar and Rod products for essential industrial use. With a high priority on quality and precision, Rupal Metals supplies Kovar alloys characterized by their controlled thermal expansion and superior bonding with ceramics and glass. With years of experience and customer-focused business, the company promises timely delivery and personalized solutions to address varied engineering requirements. Rupal Metals serves industries such as electronics, aerospace, and instrumentation, establishing them as a go-to supplier for high-performance Kovar Bar and Rod components.
Kovar Bar and Rod consists mainly of iron (Fe) with about 29% nickel (Ni) and 17% cobalt (Co), and is therefore suitable for glass-to-metal sealing because it has a balanced thermal expansion characteristic. It has a controlled coefficient of thermal expansion (4.7 x 10⁻⁶/°C over 20°C to 200°C), tensile strength of 450–620 MPa, and density of 8.36 g/cm³. The alloy provides good dimensional stability, average machinability, and consistent magnetic properties, which provide suitable applications in precision engineering under changing thermal conditions.

Kovar rods, primarily composed of iron, cobalt, and nickel, are resistant to galvanic corrosion due to their similar electrochemical properties with most alloys, reducing the risk when paired with compatible materials.
Yes, Kovar bar can be welded, but it requires special techniques and precautions due to its unique composition and thermal expansion properties. Proper heat control and filler metals are essential.
Kovar rods typically come in diameters ranging from 1/8" to 4" and lengths of up to 12 feet. Finishes include mill, polished, and brushed surfaces for various applications.






We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
