MOLYBDENUM:

High purity molybdenum possesses unique properties that are suitable for use in a number of applications and industries.  For example, its high melting point, 2620 °C, drives its performance in high temperature environments. Elmet starts with the highest quality Mo powder to ensure our final product always meets our customer’s application needs. In addition, we will modify the manufacturing processes to meet even the most exacting application requirements that our customers have.

Fully Integrated Tungsten and Molybdenum Manufacturing:

When tungsten and molybdenum material characteristics and properties must be critically controlled for superior end product performance, companies rely on Elmet Technologies’ unmatched expertise in the field of powder metallurgy. Our advanced powder processing produces pure tungsten and molybdenum metal powders as well as specific metal alloys. By selectively influencing aspects of the metallurgical process, we can change characteristics like porosity, strength, and temperature resistance to meet our customers’ specific needs. At Elmet, our process is fully integrated and starts with the raw material, metal oxide, which is then purified to tungsten and molybdenum metal powder through a chemical reduction process. The powder is formed into semi-finished products through a series of advanced mixing, pressing, deformation and heating technologies.  Finished products are then carefully manufactured to customer specifications utilizing our state-of-the-art machining and fabrication techniques.  By controlling each step in the production process from metal powder to finished product we ensure that our products consistently deliver the performance and quality required by our customers.

Precision Machining, Fabrication & Assembly:

Elmet also offers precision tungsten and molybdenum machining and fabrication capabilities. We’ve honed our processes during our decades of successfully working with molybdenum and tungsten. At our United States facilities, Elmet operates more than 70 machines that are dedicated to supporting your precision machining and fabrication requirements for molybdenum and tungsten.
