Molybdenum Alloy forging Dies
Elmet Technologies manufactures molybdenum alloy forging dies that ensure high performance, strength, and durability at extreme temperatures. Our customized superior die alloys result in higher-quality forged products. Some advantages include: high strength and high creep resistance at elevated temperatures, in addition to high recrystallization temperature due to the alloys implemented.
We offer finite element modeling and provide various large sizes of forging dies in multiple shapes with the ability to customize alloys. These molybdenum-based materials are made with exceptional metallurgical and processing expertise. The result is superior molybdenum alloy forging dies that enable further creation of some of the most technologically advanced products in the world.
Molybdenum Alloy Forging Dies Experts
The team at Elmet Technologies offers unmatched technical engineering and advanced manufacturing of refractory metals. Since 1929, customers have relied on our significant experience in the application of molybdenum alloys for new, innovative markets and demanding applications.
MHC Alloy
Molybdenum-Hafnium-Carbide (MHC) alloy offers high recrystallization temperature, extreme strength, high thermal conductivity, and low thermal expansion. All of this makes MHC alloy ideally suited for die applications.
Mo Alloy
Molybdenum alloy forging dies are capable of withstanding intense heat and enormous compressive forces at the same time. These alloys have the ability to withstand high mechanical loads at high temperatures, also known as hot strength.
TZM Alloy
Titanium-Zirconium-Molybdenum (TZM) alloy enables higher service temperatures without loss of strength in comparison to pure Mo. The titanium and zirconium carbides increase strength and creep resistance at elevated temperatures.
