Forging Blanks
Elmet Technologies manufactures premium forging blanks to meet precise requirements with optimum performance in demanding environments. These advanced forging solutions provide strength at extreme temperatures, while resisting erosion, friction, and wear. They exhibit high performance qualities under extreme stress, and in doing so, help to enable new and better finished products.
We often partner with customers to develop custom components and specialized materials to meet exact requirements. Specific to forging blanks, our refractory metal materials include: MHC alloys, TZM alloys, and custom molybdenum (Mo) alloys, among others.

Product Examples
Molybdenum-Based Alloys: MHC and TZM
Molybdenum-based alloys, such as Molybdenum-Hafnium-Carbine (MHC) and Titanium-Molybdenum-Zirconium (TZM), serve as an efficient solution for advanced forging applications that require high temperature strength, creep resistance, and excellent thermal conductivity.
Isothermal Forging
In isothermal forging, the dies are heated to the same temperature as the forged part. This is conducted on superalloys in a vacuum or in a highly controlled environment to prevent oxidation.
ELMET Capabilities
Elmet Technologies metallurgical and processing expertise, advanced technological processes, and deep applications knowledge ensures the highest quality molybdenum material.
Diffusion Bonding
Diffusion bonding utilizes a solid-state welding technique. It is typically employed by applying high pressure, in conjunction with necessarily high temperature, to the welded material.
Forging Blanks Manufactured in USA
Since 1929, Elmet Technologies has proudly served its customers with refractory metal products and materials with superior quality, high strength, and extreme precision. When you partner with Elmet, we provide high-quality USA-made forging blanks that support domestic industries, reduce delivery times, and ensure reliable performance for aerospace, defense, and other applications.
