The expansions of the Invar alloys are<br />

sensitive to composition and heat treat-<br />

ment. The above data are for an alloy<br />

believed to be 42 Ni, 0.8 Mn, bal. Fe,<br />

annealed (Lloyd B. Nesbitt, Private<br />

Communication). Although Beenakker and<br />

Swenson referred to this as "Invar", this<br />

composition approximates the alloy, Dumet,<br />

used for sealing to glass. In the iron-<br />

nickel alloy system, the minimum value of<br />

room temperature expansion coefficient<br />

occurs at about 36% Ni.<br />
