TZM

The average nominal chemical composition in weight% for TZM alloy: 0.5 Ti, 0.08 Zr, 0.02 C, remainder Mo.

TZM has a higher recrystallization temperature and higher strength and hardness at room and at elevated temperatures than unalloyed molybdenum. It also exhibits adequate ductility. Its superior mechanical properties arc due to the dispersion of complex carbides in the molybdenum matrix.

TZM gives excellent service in applications that require high strength, creep resistance at elevated temperatures. The recommended temperatures of use are up to 1400 °C.

Advantages of TZM than pure Molybdenum

●  Higher recrystallization temperature
