TZM Alloy Applications

1. Aerospace and Aviation

TZM alloy's high resistance to heat and corrosion makes it ideal for aerospace applications, including jet engines and critical components.

 

2. High-Temperature Vacuum Furnaces

Used in heating elements and insulation screens for high-temperature vacuum furnaces, TZM alloy ensures reliable performance in extreme conditions.

 

3. Metal Thermal Processing

TZM alloy is excellent for molds used in die casting, extrusion, and isothermal forging of light alloys and steel billets.

 

4. Electronics and Electrical Industry

TZM alloy is essential in electronics for electron tube cathodes, grids, high-voltage rectifiers, and semiconductor thin-film integrated circuits.

 

Manufacturing Processes for TZM Alloy (Reduction Method)

1. Powder Mixing

Mix ultra-fine molybdenum powder and other powders in the required proportions, then blend the mixture evenly in a drum-type mixer to obtain a uniform mixed powder.

2. Press Molding

The pressing process compresses powder using isostatic pressing equipment to form billets, ensuring uniform density. We utilize a full range of billet-making molds and equipment for high-volume production.

3. Sintering

In powder metallurgy, metal powders are pressed into billets using isostatic pressing and then heated, a process called sintering. Sintering creates a dense, polycrystalline material and significantly influences grain size, pore size, and the distribution of grain boundaries in the microstructure, playing a critical role in powder metallurgy.

4. Melting

Melt the rough ingots multiple times using a vacuum electron beam furnace or vacuum arc furnace to produce alloy ingots.

5. Improving Finished Ingot Properties

Place the alloy ingot blanks in a high-frequency furnace, heat and forge multiple times, and process the surface oxide layer to produce finished ingots.

6. Forging

The forging process enhances material density, improves mechanical properties, and strengthens the surface. Accurate control of processing rates and forging temperatures is crucial for achieving superior performance in our TZM alloy.

7. Rolling

Rolling processes subject metal materials to continuous plastic deformation under the pressure of rotating rolls, achieving desired shapes and properties. AEM Metal employs advanced cold and hot rolling technologies and equipment to ensure superior metal properties.

8. Annealing

After forging and rolling processes, materials undergo heat treatment to completely relieve internal stresses, optimizing their performance and enhancing machinability.

9. Machining and Polishing

After heat treatment, the materials are machined using processes like turning, milling, cutting, and grinding to fit specific sizes for customers. This ensures strong, smooth materials that meet different needs.

TZM Alloy: A Comprehensive Guide for Buyer

What is TZM Alloy? A Brief Overview

TZM (Titanium-Zirconium-Molybdenum) alloy is a high-strength, high-temperature molybdenum-based alloy. It consists primarily of molybdenum (Mo), with small additions of titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), and carbon (C), enhancing its mechanical properties and making it suitable for high-stress, high-temperature applications.

Advantages of TZM Alloy

Quality Control: TZM Alloy Testing

Making sure TZM alloy is of top quality is very important because it's used for important jobs in many industries. Quality checks and tests are a big part of making the alloy. Let's look at the main ways we test and control the quality of TZM alloy:

Visual Inspection:

Surface Check: Each product is visually inspected for any surface imperfections such as scratches, pits, or irregularities. Dimensional Accuracy: The thickness, width, and length of the alloy are measured to ensure they meet specified tolerances.

Chemical Analysis:

Purity Testing: To confirm the chemical composition and purity of the alloy, tests like X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) are conducted. Trace Elements Analysis: Identifying trace elements is crucial to ensure the alloy's suitability for sensitive applications, especially in electronics and medical fields.

Mechanical Property Testing:

Tensile Strength Test: Determines the alloy's strength by measuring its resistance to breaking under tension. Elongation Measurement: Assesses the ductility of the alloy, or how much it can stretch before breaking.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT):

Ultrasonic Testing: Ultrasonic waves are used to detect internal flaws or inhomogeneities. Radiographic Testing: X-rays or gamma rays are used to inspect the internal structure of the tubes, identifying any internal defects.

Corrosion Resistance Testing:

The product is exposed to various corrosive agents to ensure its resistance, a key property for its use in chemical processing and medical devices.

Thickness Measurement:

Using micrometers or other precise instruments, the exact thickness of the product is verified, as it is a critical factor in many applications.

Certification and Documentation:

After passing all tests, the product is certified. A report is provided to the buyer detailing the tests conducted and their results, ensuring traceability and quality assurance.
