With a high purity of ≥99.95% and a melting point of 2620°C, molybdenum plates serve as the industrial backbone in extreme environments—from nuclear reactors to aerospace engines, and from medical stents to semiconductor evaporation boats, their presence is ubiquitous. TZM alloys and Molybdenum-Lanthanum (MoLa) alloys push high-temperature performance to the absolute limit; with a tensile strength of 1400 MPa, they are capable of withstanding the hellish heat of 1600°C.
Molybdenum plates are metal sheets primarily composed of pure molybdenum or molybdenum alloys. Typically featuring a molybdenum content of ≥99.95%, they possess a high melting point (2620°C), exceptional high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and superior mechanical properties, making them an indispensable critical material in the fields of industrial manufacturing and cutting-edge technology.
Material Composition and Performance Characteristics
**High-Purity Foundation:** Pure molybdenum plates feature a molybdenum content of ≥99.95%, ensuring the material’s stability in high-temperature and corrosive environments.
**Alloy Reinforcement:** The addition of rare earth elements or other metal elements gives rise to a variety of high-performance alloys:
**Molybdenum-Lanthanum (MoLa) Alloy:** Doping with rare earth elements elevates the recrystallization temperature to 1500–1600°C and boosts tensile strength to 1400 MPa, making it specifically designed for extreme operating conditions exceeding 1000°C.
**TZM Alloy (Containing Titanium, Zirconium, and Carbon):** Its high-temperature strength significantly surpasses that of pure molybdenum, making it suitable for applications such as molds, high-temperature furnace components, and more.
Production Process and Specifications
Molybdenum plates are manufactured using a process that combines hot rolling for initial billet breakdown with cold rolling for final shaping. Following annealing and alkali washing to remove surface oxides, the material undergoes precision finishing. The final product can be customized according to specific requirements:
**Thickness Range:** 0.5 mm to 30 mm;
**Flexible Dimensions:** Width ranging from 20 mm to 700 mm, with lengths reaching up to 3000 mm;
**Surface Finishes:** Available in cold-rolled bright finish, hot-rolled black finish, alkali-washed finish, or polished finish, to suit diverse industrial needs.
