RDST provides lightweight, high modulus products made from controlled expansion alloys (CE alloys). CE alloy products are manufactured according to custom design in the form of, for example, thermal management products and electronic packaging modules as well as structural products for optical systems, electronics assembly and semiconductor processing equipment.
Many advantages over other materials
controlled expansion (CE) alloys offer many advantages compared to most competitive materials in terms of, for example:
density
coefficient of thermal expansion
thermal conductivity
specific stiffness
Controlled expansion (CE) alloys are lighter than competitive materials and have controlled expansion coefficients at any preselected value in the range 5 to 17 ppm / ° C.
Main characteristics of Osprey controlled expansion (CE) alloys
Controlled thermal expansivity (5-17 ppm / ° C)
Low density (<2.5 gm / cc)
High thermal conductivity (120-180 W / m K)
High specific stiffness (39 to 54 x103 Nm / g)
CE alloys are machinable, plateable and weldable
