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 />
