Metal sheet/plate is a thin sheet/plate made from different materials of tungsten, tungsten alloys, molybdenum and molybdenum alloys. The sheet could be formed by hot rolling procedures and is polished further with different finishes depending on the applications.
TZM has several valuable properties such as high strength, creep resistance, hardness and low vapor pressure in high temperature environments. Sheets/plates made of TZM alloy thus have low expansion coefficient, excellent heat and corrosion resistance and good machinability.
Compared with pure molybdenum plate, TZM plate has more stable crystal structure and higher recrystallization temperature. This is due to the doping of small amounts of zirconium and titanium into the molybdenum matrix. In addition, the composite carbides Mo2C, TiC, and ZrC with extremely fine sizes refine and suppress the grains of molybdenum, thereby contributing to the easier welding and creep resistance of TZM than pure molybdenum.
High temperature TZM plate is a popular molybdenum-based alloy used in structural furnace components such as shielding and support components because of its high creep resistance. In addition, TZM molybdenum plates are ideal for making high temperature, high strength TZM molybdenum forging dies for isothermal forging, ferrous and non-ferrous metal castings and molybdenum TZM perforated plugs. Additionally, TZM sheets are an excellent choice for high recrystallisation and solderable temperature materials used to produce parts for aerospace applications.
Chinatungsten Online/CTIA GROUP is a leading TZM sheet supplier, which can supply various types of molybdenum, TZM and lanthanide molybdenum plates that meet consistently high standards of flatness, roughness and machinability. We are also able to provide fast lead times and handle large volumes of contracts.
At the same time, we produce a wide range of molybdenum and molybdenum alloy products using powder metallurgy (PM) method. The availability of products from this process gives users many options in selecting a material to satisfy their specific application requirements.
