VT machining provides CNC Boring Kovar for customers who need accurate, repeatable Kovar components. Because Kovar is matched thermal expansion for glass/ceramic seals, we adapt the process to suit — controlling the variables that matter for this alloy.
CNC Boring Capability for Kovar
- Bore tolerance to IT6
- Roundness within 0.005 mm
- Fine boring heads
- Large-diameter capability
How CNC Boring Kovar Works
For CNC Boring Kovar, we plan the operation around the material: how Kovar responds to heat, force and finishing dictates the wheel, tool, power or etchant we choose and the rate at which we run.
CNC Boring Quality & Inspection
Quality control for CNC Boring Kovar includes in-process checks and final inspection of the features you flag as critical, so the Kovar parts you receive are to print.
Applications of CNC Boring Kovar
Customers order CNC Boring Kovar for a wide range of Kovar parts — from prototypes through to production volumes across multiple industries.
Why Kovar for CNC Boring
Kovar is selected for CNC Boring when a part needs the combination it offers — matched thermal expansion for glass/ceramic seals. We confirm the exact grade with you so the finished component performs as intended in service.

Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Boring Kovar?
Achievable tolerances for Kovar turning depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Turning holds diameter tolerances to around ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
What surface finish is achievable on Kovar with CNC Boring?
Surface finish on Kovar is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
Does CNC Boring Kovar require dedicated tooling?
Most Kovar turning work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
Why is Kovar a good choice for CNC Boring?
Kovar is matched thermal expansion for glass/ceramic seals, which makes it well suited to CNC Boring. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished Kovar turning part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What is CNC Boring Kovar and how is it done?
CNC Boring Kovar refers to boring enlarges and finishes existing holes to precise diameter, roundness and surface finish. Applied to Kovar — matched thermal expansion for glass/ceramic seals — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
