Titnaium-Zirconium-Molybdenum Alloy
TZM Alloy
TZM is a particle-strengthened molybdenum based alloy containing titanium, zirconium and carbon. TZM is widely used in the aerospace, aviation and other industries. It could be used as nozzle material, valve body, gas piping materials, tubes in the gate material, die casting molds, extrusion dies and high temperature furnace heating element and heat shield etc.
Advantages of TZM compared to pure molybdenum:
> Above 1100°C tensile strength is about twice that of unalloyed molybdenum
> Better creep resistance
> Higher recrystallization temperature
> Better welding properties.
Titanium zirconium molybdenum rod (TZM rod) produced by powder metallurgy. It has good high temperature performance, mechanical property, which can be widely applied in many fields. Because of its excellent high temperature performance and corrosion resistance, TZM rods are often made into hot runner and hot runner nozzle used in hot runner systems.
