Wholesale Titanium-Zirconium-Molybdenum TZM Alloy supplier, Suppliers

It is a commonly used high-temperature alloy in molybdenum based alloys, consisting of 0.50% titanium, 0.08% zirconium, and the remaining 0.02% carbon. TZM alloy has the characteristics of high melting point, high strength, high elastic modulus, small coefficient of linear expansion, low vapor pressure, good electrical and thermal conductivity, strong corrosion resistance, and good high-temperature mechanical properties, which have been widely used in many fields.

Product Description

1. Product Overview

TZM alloy (Titanium-Zirconium-Molybdenum) is a high-performance, molybdenum (Mo)-based alloy enhanced with titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), and trace carbon (C). Its unique composition and manufacturing via powder metallurgy or vacuum melting processes grant it superior high-temperature strength, creep resistance, and recrystallization stability compared to pure molybdenum. It is widely used in extreme high-temperature and high-stress environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes TZM superior to pure Molybdenum?

A: TZM provides significantly higher recrystallization temperature and tensile strength due to its Ti, Zr, and C alloying elements.

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for TZM?

A: It maintains structural integrity well above 1400°C depending on the application environment.

Q: Can TZM be machined like steel?

A: While harder than steel, it is more processable than pure molybdenum and can be shaped via CNC/EDM methods.

Q: Is TZM resistant to molten metals?

A: Yes, it shows excellent resistance to molten zinc and glass, making it ideal for die-casting molds.

Q: Do you offer custom dimensions?

A: Yes, we support machined parts based on specific customer drawings and technical requirements.
