Pure Molybdenum

With a purity of > 99.95%, it is widely used in various electrodes, heating elements, sputtering targets, high-temperature boats, heat shields, setter plates, crystal crucibles, ray shielding, power devices heat dissipation and other occasions.

Big-grain molybdenum is a pure molybdenum material with a special macrocrystalline structure, which has good high-temperature deformation resistance and can be used for occasions above 1450°C.

Both molybdenum and tungsten are classified as “heavy metals,” though “moly” has a lower density, making it better suited to many specialized uses. Of all the elements, molybdenum has the lowest coefficient for thermal expansion. This, along with its high strength and thermal conductivity, make it the first choice for numerous industries and applications including specialty steelmaking; aerospace; touch-screen tech; electronic/electrical; and military & defense.

Strengthened Molybdenum

Rare earth strengthened Mo (MoLa, MoLaY) and Si-Al-K Mo, compared with pure Mo, have better high-temperature strength, can be used in occasions above 1450 °C, and have better machining performance, so that they can be used under high-temperature such as setter plates, screws and nuts, boats, heating elements, anti-deformation heat shields, high-strength clamps, and many other occasions.

The recrystallizing temperature of Lanthanated Molybdenum alloy (Mo-La alloy) can rise to 1,500-1600 degrees Celsius from 1000 degrees Celsius which the pure Molybdenum can reach to. And the tensile strength can be up to 14000Mpa.

By adding Lanthanum into Molybdenum, Molybdenum Lanthanum alloy achieved a higher temperature recrystallization, a better ductility, and an excellent wear-resistant than molybdenum and TZM have.

TZM (Titanium Zirconium Molybdenum) is a titanium-zirconium-carbon composite strengthened molybdenum material with outstanding strength properties below 1400°C and also has better wear resistance. It can be used for high-temperature and high-strength applications such as sintering plates, hot isostatic baskets, injection molding nozzles and other high-temperature and high-strength applications below 1400°C.

TZM is a molybdenum-based alloy containing 0.5% titanium, 0.08% zirconium, 0.03% carbon, and molybdenum makes up the balance. By combining small amounts of Ti and Zi, TZM alloy gains a high recrystallization temperature, making TZM twice as strong as pure molybdenum at 1300°C. The optimal doping percentages are 0.4–0.6% of titanium, 0.07-0.12% of zirconium, and 0.01-0.04% of carbon.

Titanium Zirconium Molybdenum (TZM) alloy is an ideal material for many industrial applications requiring high strength, high-temperature processes, including those common in the aerospace, electronics, and thermal treatment industries. TZM alloy is especially advantageous for work in the 700-1400°C range. TZM alloy is a versatile material for various high-temperature applications. It’s an excellent choice for metal casting molds that require durability, thermal conductivity, and low thermal expansion rates. TZM casting parts are dimensionally stable, resist cracking due to thermal stress, and withstand multiple high-temperature uses. TZM furnace components improve the capabilities of HIP furnaces, and TZM alloy is ideal for X-ray anode targets due to its high-temperature performance and corrosion resistance. TZM hot runner nozzles are an excellent choice for high-temperature, high-pressure injection molding processes, displaying outstanding resistance to heat, corrosion, and oxidation.

TZC is a molybdenum alloy with a higher carbon content of titanium and zirconium than TZM.

MHC is a hafnium carbide strengthened molybdenum alloy with higher strength than TZM. It can withstand the high temperature up to 1500°C.

Mo-W alloy usually has a Mo content of 50%-80%, and the rest is W. Its corrosion-resistant type is stronger than W and Mo alone, so it can be used as a zinc melting crucible and an agitator for glass production. Its better etching properties make it an excellent flat panel display target.

We produce all common forms of molybdenum and alloyed products, including plate; sheet; strip; foil; rod; and wire. These are isostatically pressed and sintered from pure metal powders into to compact billets through powder metallurgy. Additional deformations and heat treatments are applied, often followed by grinding, polishing, cleaning, or other surface treatments, until the finished product meets exacting, individual customer specifications.
