TZM Forging Blocks: Material Specifications
Elmet Technologies’ advanced TZM (Titanium-Zirconium-Molybdenum) forging blocks are manufactured using either our powder metallurgy process or a unique vacuum arc-casting process. When combined, Molybdenum (Mo), Titanium (Ti) and Zirconium (Zr) carbides are capable of increasing creep resistance and strength at higher temperatures. Characteristics for our TZM alloys include:
Min. Density (based on 10.2 g/cc)
| Pressed and Sintered Billet | 94% |
| Forged Blank | > 99.5% |
Max. Product Dimensions
| Pressed and Sintered Billet | 29 inch diameter (74 centimeters)/ 10,000 lbs. (4536 kg) |
| Forged Blank | 55 inch diameter (140 centimeters) |
