High-Purity Molybdenum Metal Powder Applications
At Elmet Technologies, we engineer high-purity molybdenum metal powder to enhance manufacturing capabilities in pressing and sintering applications across a wide range of industries. MoMP is specifically designed to deliver exceptional performance in:
- Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP) and sintering ingot production.
- Diamond drill bits as a matrix powder.
- Hardening alloys as an alloying addition.
With decades of expertise in powder metallurgy and refractory metal manufacturing, Elmet Technologies leverages the unique properties of molybdenum to produce high-performance components with superior heat resistance, strength, and durability.
Advanced Press and Sinter Process
Elmet’s press and sinter process ensures precision and performance at every step:
- Powder Compaction: We compact molybdenum powder into a mold to form a “green” component, adding adhesives as needed for extra integrity.
- Stabilization: We stabilize the green component to preserve its shape and structure.
- Sintering: We use molybdenum’s high melting point and thermal conductivity to sinter the component, achieving optimal density and strength.
- Final Product: We produce a durable, high-performance component tailored to meet demanding applications.
