Molybdenum and TZM (molybdenum alloy) offer high melting point, excellent thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion, and reliable strength at elevated temperatures.
Molybdenum / TZM Machining
Material Overview
-
-
They are commonly used in semiconductor equipment, high-temperature furnaces, and vacuum environments.
-
Machining molybdenum and TZM requires rigid workholding, sharp carbide tools, and controlled cutting parameters because thin or unsupported features can chip or crack. Careful process control helps maintain tight tolerances and clean surface finishes.
