Knowledge about TZM Alloy
TZM material is an alloy of 0.50% Titanium, 0.08% Zirconium and 0.02% Carbon with the balance Molybdenum and is typically manufactured by powder metallurgy or arc-casting processes. It has a higher recrystallization temperature, higher creep strength & hardness, and higher tensile strength than pure molybdenum. In addition, TZM exhibits good thermal conductivity, low vapor pressure, good corrosion resistance and is machinable. TZM Molybdenum Physical Properties: Density: 10.22g/cc, 0.37lb/in3 Melting Point: 2623°C, 4753°F Thermal Conductivity: 0.48 Cal/cm2/cm°C/sec Specific Heat: 0.073 Cal/gm/°C Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion: 2.50 micro-in/°F x 10-6 Electrical Resistivity: 6.85 micro-ohm-cm The molybdenum TZM is a normally utilized constructional material for high-temperature applications. These microstructural aspects significantly affect quality at raised temperatures. By methods for carbide-reinforcing TZM features impro...
