Molybdenum Powder
Elmet Technologies is a leading US-based manufacturer specializing in advanced molybdenum powder metallurgy solutions. With decades of expertise and a fully integrated production process, we custom-formulate molybdenum powders to meet the unique requirements of our customers. By optimizing particle sizes, adjusting green strengths, and crafting diverse agglomerated grain structures, we ensure our powders are tailored per each unique application requirement.
Our molybdenum powders are produced with exceptional purity, exceeding 99.95%, and are available in various forms, including thermal spray powders, blended alloy powders, and oxide dispersion-strengthened alloys. Serving industries such as aerospace, defense, electronics, medical, and industrial processing, Elmet Technologies is committed to delivering high-performance solutions that meet stringent specifications and exceed customer expectations.
High Purity Molybdenum powder
Elmet Technologies has extensive molybdenum powder production capabilities to meet stringent specifications for our customers. We produce Mo powders from molybdenum trioxide and ammonium molybdates using hydrogen reduction. We control input materials and reduction parameters to achieve purity above 99.95% with low residual oxygen and carbon content.
Particle size can be controlled through screening and other techniques from coarse fractions of -5 mesh (4 mm) to -325 mesh (-45 µm). Additional molybdenum alloy powders are available, such as TZM (Mo-0.5Ti-0.1Zr) and MHC (Mo-1.2Hf-0.1C), or oxide dispersion strengthened alloys, such as MoLa (Mo-1.0La2O3). Custom alloys are available per customer request.
