Anneal at 2600 to 2900 F in a protective atmosphere.
Applications
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 Workability
Cold works by conventional means.
Forgeability
No data.
Formability
May be formed by bending, rolling, stamping by conventional means,
Hardening Procedure
Not applicable.
Heat Treatability
Not applicable. See "Annealing".
Hot Workability
No data.
Machinability
The alloy may be machined by conventional methods using tungsten carbide or high speed steels with soluble oil lubricant.
Principle Design Features
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.
Tempering Procedure
Not applicable.
Weldability
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.
