  Invar - Nickel Iron Alloy   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Invar is the forerunner of a family of controlled expansion nickel-iron alloys which form the essential part of bimetals and thermostats.
Invar itself is still used today in vast numbers of household appliances, from electric irons and toasters to gas cookers and fire safety cutoffs.
Invar is a 36% nickel-iron alloy which has the lowest thermal expansion among all metals and alloys in the range from room temperature up to approximately 230°C. The alloy is ductile and easily weldable, and machinability is similar to austenitic stainless steel.

 ILL : ANNUAL REPORT 2000
This finding is inconsistent with models of the invar effect in which a state, or states, with a configuration different from the ground-state and with slightly higher energy, is thermally populated.
The invar effect disappears above the Curie temperature, which suggests that the magnetic properties must in some way offset the normal lattice expansion and this premise is the foundation of most explanations given for the effect.
Although the thermodynamic consequences of such a model are difficult to quantify, it has been suggested that the invar effect arises from the thermal population of the low moment, low volume, state which lies at a slightly higher energy than the high moment state.

 Aviation Week's ShowNews: PRESSROOM
WARRENVILLE, IL — According to Plymouth Tube Company, the use of near-net extruded shapes of Invar, a specialized nickel alloy, is a growing trend in aerospace composite structures manufacturing.
A unique combination of durability and a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) make Invar-36 the ideal choice for aerospace manufacturers that seek to minimize thermal expansion mismatch, or the type of warpage that occurs between disparate materials and molds during the curing process.
Regarding the trend towards specifying Invar, Plymouth marketing manager, Dennis Gudgel, observes: "Although Invar-36 is not a new material, its specification for aerospace applications, such as tools for aircraft control parts and primary structural members, is in a new growth phase because of increased acceptance of advanced composites by aerospace manufacturers.
