Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our custom Kovar parts machining services.

What is Kovar and why is it used for hermetic packaging?

Kovar (Fe-Ni-Co alloy) has a thermal expansion coefficient closely matching borosilicate glass and ceramics, making it ideal for glass-to-metal and ceramic-to-metal hermetic seals in electronic packages.

Can you machine complex thin-wall Kovar components?

Yes. Our CNC machining capabilities include fixturing and toolpath strategies specifically designed to minimize distortion and control tolerances on thin-wall and delicate Kovar parts.

What file formats do you accept for RFQ?

We accept STEP, IGES, DXF, DWG, and PDF drawings. For complex parts, 3D models help us provide the best manufacturability feedback.

What inspection reports can you provide with each order?

Standard reports include dimensional inspection sheets, material certification with lot traceability, and visual inspection. Custom inspection plans are available on request.

What is your typical lead time for prototypes and production runs?

Prototype lead times are typically 2–4 weeks depending on complexity. Production runs vary based on quantity and schedule; we work with you to meet your delivery needs.
