VDM® Alloy 36 (1.3912/K93600)
VDM® Alloy 36 is an austenitic binary iron-nickel alloy with a particularly low coefficient of expansion. Control of carbon and manganese contents as well as impurities is important.
Characteristics of VDM® Alloy 36
VDM® Alloy 36 (1.3912/K93600) is ferromagnetic at temperatures below the Curie temperature and non-magnetic at temperatures above. Cold deformation reduces the thermal expansion. A 3-step ageing treatment stabilizes the coefficient of expansion within a selected temperature range.

Applications of VDM® Alloy 36
Typical applications are:
- Manufacturing, storage and transport of liquefied gases
- Components for OLED screens
- Measuring and control devices for temperatures below 200 °C (392 °F), e.g. for thermostats
- Bushings for screw or rivet joints between various metals
- Bi-metal components and thermostatic bi-metals, where VDM® Alloy 36 is the passive component
- Forms for the production of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFP), especially for the aerospace industry
- Frameworks for electronic control units in satellites and space travel down to -200 °C (-328 °F)
- Support elements for electro-magnetic lenses in laser control units
- Pendulum
- Components for the automotive industry
- Overhead power lines in an alloyed, age-hardenable variant
