LEX can help you to meet high accuracy requirements
Accuracy for equipment and devices is constantly demanded in the advanced technology field. But, problems occur when heat transformation affects the accuracy of equipment and devices.
We, Nipponchuzo, have been studying low thermal expansion alloy material for many years and have released LEX in the market. Under the thermal expansion environment, LEX shows its transformation is kept at minimum. LEX maintains the accuracy of the product and offers an excellent machining workability.
What is LEX
LEX series can be divided into 2 main groups by its carbon content.
The picture shows the characteristic difference for you to choose by your needs.
| High carbon | Type | Low carbon |
|---|---|---|
| Castability Machinability Controllable expansion |
Merits | Low thermal expansion No Graphite Additional functions |
| Controllable expansion: LEX 5~55 High temperature environment: LEX 40K |
Development | Zero expansion: LEX-ZERO Low expansion: LEX-SF1, IF1 Corrosion resistance: LEX-60CR High Young’s modulus: LEX-35E+ |
