Lanthanated Molybdenum ROD MATERIAL
Elmet is a leading global provider of high purity Lanthanated Molybdenum (MoLa) rod products and the only US owned and operated producer of pure, swaged tungsten, molybdenum, MoLa and TZM rod. Lanthanated molybdenum doped products have a higher recrystallization temperature than either pure molybdenum or HCT moly and normally exhibit better ductility characteristics after recrystallization. Application temperature limits for MoLa exceed those of HCT, and MoLa is utilized in those applications where the limits of HCT are reached.
We offer a range of standard lanthanated molybdenum (MoLa) rod diameters ranging from .030″ to over 1.0″ that can be cut to size to customer specified thickness, length, surface finish as well as other material properties. We also offer precision machining, threaded or gun-drilled rod. As with all of our materials, our rod begins as metal powder, pressed into ingots, sintered, and then swaged and drawn down. Our advanced drawing / swaging process enables us to tailor the product to meet specific customer material and performance requirements to ensure optimal performance in your application.
