TZM molybdenum alloys bar

TZM alloy belongs to the Mo-Ti-Zr-C series molybdenum-based alloy. It has high melting point, high strength, large elastic modulus, small linear expansion coefficient, low vapor pressure, good electrical and thermal conductivity, strong corrosion resistance and excellent high-temperature mechanical properties. Features. Commonly used at temperatures above 1100°C. Because TZM alloy has excellent creep properties, it is a material for high-temperature and high-strength molds for thermal processing (such as molds and punching heads for die-casting, extrusion, isothermal forging, etc.); it can also be used for high-temperature and high-pressure equipment (hot isostatic Presses and high-temperature heating furnaces) structural materials, such as heat shields, pillars, etc.; it is also an excellent material for high-power ceramic tube grids; in addition, it can also be used to produce powder metallurgy products, refractory materials and uranium dioxide The grain is used to burn the boat. Due to its better welding properties and higher recrystallization temperature, the alloy has been trialled for sealing of hot gas valves and high-temperature gas systems.

TZM molybdenum alloy refers to an aluminum alloy containing 0.4~0.6% (wt) of titanium, 0.08~0.12% (wt) of zirconium and 0.02~0.03% (wt) of carbon, also known as molybdenum-titanium-zirconium alloy. Both titanium and zirconium play a role in solid solution strengthening and carbide dispersion strengthening in the alloy, and the composite titanium-zirconium carbide is more stable at high temperatures than individual titanium carbide, so TZM molybdenum alloy has better high-temperature strength and higher recrystallization temperature.

TZM molybdenum alloy has better high temperature strength and higher recrystallization temperature. At the same time, TZM molybdenum alloy has better room temperature plasticity. TZM molybdenum alloy has relatively excellent comprehensive properties and is a widely used high-temperature molybdenum alloy.
The preparation method of TZM molybdenum alloy is the same as that of molybdenum-titanium alloy, that is, there are two methods: smelting into ingots and then processing and powder sintering into ingots and then processing. However, its processing is slightly more difficult than that of molybdenum-titanium alloys.
TZM molybdenum alloy is mainly used for high-temperature components in aerospace technology, such as rocket nozzle throat linings, flight rudder splints, etc. TZM alloy is also widely used as metal thermal processing molds with temperatures >1000°C, such as die casting, extrusion molds, etc.
TZM alloy has the characteristics of high melting point, high strength, high elastic modulus, small linear expansion coefficient, low vapor pressure, good electrical and thermal conductivity, strong corrosion resistance and good high-temperature mechanical properties, so it is widely used in many .

Thermal and electrical properties of TZM alloy (molybdenum zirconium titanium alloy) (Ti0.5/Zr0.1)

TZM alloy (molybdenum zirconium titanium alloy) also has good welding properties and can be welded well with H11 steel and other materials. At the same time, TZM alloy can resist corrosion from molten metals such as Zn. It can be cold worked by conventional methods. Carbide or high-speed steel tools can be used for machining in the presence of cooling lubricant.
