Molybdenum and Tungsten Foil Material
Elmet is a leading global provider of high-quality molybdenum foil products and the only US producer. We offer standard molybdenum foil thicknesses ranging from .001″ to .005″ (and thicker) that can be cut to size or rolled to customer specified thickness, length, surface finish as well as other material properties. We also offer a full range of tungsten sheet sizes and are expanding our tungsten foil capabilities. Please call for tungsten foil availability and sizes. As with all of our materials, our sheet products begin as pure metal powder, are pressed into ingots, sintered, and then rolled flat. Our advanced Z-Mill foil process enables us to tailor the product to meet specific customer material and performance requirements to ensure optimal performance in your application.

About our Process:
Elmet starts with the highest quality Mo powder and follows ISO 9001 and AS9100C certified manufacturing process to ensure our final product always meets our customers application needs. 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.
- Made in the USA. Elmet is a fully integrated US source of pure molybdenum sheet material and products
- Designed to exceed ASTM specifications
- ISO 9001 and AS9100 certified manufacturing process
