Nestled in the heart of Amman, Jordan, Sabra Metals has built a reputation as a trusted manufacturer and supplier of specialized alloys, with a particular expertise in Kovar. We understand that certain advanced engineering challenges demand materials with unique characteristics, and our consistent production of high-quality Kovar bar and rod is a direct response to those precise needs. Our commitment is to provide reliable solutions that form the backbone of innovative technologies across the globe.
Our Kovar bar and rod are defined by a specific composition of iron, nickel, and cobalt, a formula scientifically designed to have a thermal expansion rate that closely matches common types of hard glass and ceramic. This controlled expansion is its key feature, ensuring a stable and reliable seal. Mechanically, it offers good tensile strength and is readily machinable, allowing engineers to shape it into the exact components required for highly specialized assemblies.

Kovar rods, primarily composed of iron, cobalt, and nickel, are resistant to galvanic corrosion due to their similar electrochemical properties with most alloys, reducing the risk when paired with compatible materials.
Yes, Kovar bar can be welded, but it requires special techniques and precautions due to its unique composition and thermal expansion properties. Proper heat control and filler metals are essential.
Kovar rods typically come in diameters ranging from 1/8" to 4" and lengths of up to 12 feet. Finishes include mill, polished, and brushed surfaces for various applications.
The primary use for Sabra Metals’ Kovar bar and rod is in creating these crucial hermetic seals, where a metal component must be permanently bonded to glass or ceramic without cracking under temperature fluctuations. You’ll find these essential parts in the assembly of power tubes, x-ray equipment, and laser housings. Furthermore, its properties make it invaluable in the aerospace and telecommunications industries for components in satellites and other sensitive electronic systems where long-term integrity is absolutely non-negotiable.






We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
