Elmet Forging Dies
high performance Molybdenum Alloys
Elmet Technologies manufactures high-performance molybdenum alloys for advanced forging applications. Our specialty forging die materials include TZM, MHC, and several custom molybdenum alloys. We provide fully integrated manufacturing with innovative powder metallurgy techniques, enabling us to meet even the most demanding project requirements for our customers.
TZM Forging Dies
Elmet Technologies manufactures TZM forging dies for the defense and aerospace sectors, with large sizes in cylindrical or rectangular shapes that exceed current industry requirements.
Molybdenum Alloys
Our innovative molybdenum alloys offer improved forging performance in the production of isothermal forging dies, diffusion bonding dies, and associated components for aircraft jet engines.
MHC Forging Dies
The high recrystallization temperature, high strength, low thermal expansion, and high thermal conductivity of Elmet Technologies’ MHC Alloy make it an ideally suited material for die applications.
High Performance Forging Dies for Aircraft Jet Engines
Suppliers of aircraft jet engines trust in the applications knowledge, experience, and advanced technological processes that enables Elmet Technologies to customize its high-performance forging dies and advanced refractory metal alloys to meet even the most demanding of requirements.
Isothermal Forging
Isothermal forging is conducted on superalloys in a vacuum or highly controlled atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Operators heat the dies to the same temperature as the forged part. Special tool systems of nickel-based or Mo materials are used for this purpose.
Capabilities
Elmet Technologies has customized superior die alloys to improve the forging and diffusion bonding process. We have the unique ability to develop custom components and design various alloy materials to meet the demanding requirements of the aerospace industry.
Diffusion Bonding
Diffusion bonding is usually implemented by applying high pressure, in conjunction with necessarily high temperature, to the materials to be welded. Utilizing a solid-state welding technique, diffusion bonding can be used to fuse titanium or aluminum sheet metal to form fan blades.
Advanced Molybdenum Material Engineering & solutions
Our engineers design molybdenum alloys to perform in the most demanding forging environments, where elevated temperatures and intense mechanical loads push materials to their limits. Known for their exceptional strength, thermal conductivity, and resistance to deformation, molybdenum-based materials are ideal for forging dies that must maintain dimensional stability and durability.
Forging Blanks
We precision engineer forging blanks from molybdenum alloy materials. All blanks exhibit superior durability, consistency, and reliable operation in high performance applications.
Forging Billets
Elmet Technologies manufactures forging billets from high-quality alloy materials that deliver structural integrity, thermal stability, and reliable performance in demanding forging processes.
Forging Blocks
Our forging blocks are dense, high-strength materials designed and manufactured for maximum durability and stability in extreme, high-temperature forging and tooling environments.
