Molybdenum-rare earth oxide alloy
Molybdenum-rare earth oxide alloy (Mo-REO), also called rare earth molybdenum, is an alloy of molybdenum and rare earth element oxides, which is an oxide dispersion-strengthened alloy, similar to rare earth tungsten. Commonly used rare earth element oxides are Y2O3, La2O3, CeO2, and Nd2O3, Sm2O3, Gd2O3, and Sc2O3. They are usually added in the alloy in an amount of 0.5% -3.0% (mass fraction). The rare earth oxide doped molybdenum is a new material that has been systematically researched since the late 1980s. The addition of rare earth oxides can not only significantly increase the strength of molybdenum, improve the high temperature resistance of molybdenum, but also significantly increase the recrystallization temperature of molybdenum and reduce the brittleness of molybdenum restructure. It is an excellent high temperature structural material. The overall performance is better than the high-temperature molybdenum (Mo-ASK) and TZM molybdenum alloy originally considered to be the best...
