Refractory Alloys Molybdenum TZM

Not applicable.

Anneal at 2600 to 2900 F in a protective atmosphere.

Used for extrusion dies, boring bars (for rigidity), nuclear applications and heat exchangers. This alloy is noted for its high hot strength and is useful in hot die applications.

Cold works by conventional means.

No data.

May be formed by bending, rolling, stamping by conventional means,

Not applicable.

Not applicable. See "Annealing".

No data.

The alloy may be machined by conventional methods using tungsten carbide or high speed steels with soluble oil lubricant.

This is an alloy of molybdenum with small amounts of titanium and zirconium added. It is made by arc melting and casting or by powder metallurgy technique.

Not applicable.

The alloy may be welded by resistance welding or fusion welding. Note that at temperatures above 930 F the alloy will oxidize rapidly and form a glass-like coating.
