Ready-To-Press Molybdenum Powder
Elmet Technologies provides ready-to-press molybdenum powder, known as RTP, for uniform mold filling and high pressed and sintered density. RTP is a uniformly agglomerated Mo powder with organic binder. The agglomerates are porous spheres and are free flowing. As a leading manufacturer of high-performance refractory metal powders, Elmet Technologies offers one of the most comprehensive powder metallurgy product portfolios ever assembled.
Our ready-to-press molybdenum powder is enhanced with wax, providing a streamlined, high-quality solution for industries requiring consistent density and strength. Its easy-to-use, flowable formulation and high green strength enables manufacturers to simplify production processes, achieving more precise results, all while minimize material waste. These benefits make RTP Powder an ideal choice for high-performance applications, even those with challenging environments.
Key Characteristics of Ready-to-press POwder
RTP Powder is spheroidized through spray drying, utilizing a suspension composed of fine pure molybdenum (Mo) powders and an organic binder (wax). Key features and uses include:
- High purity of 99.95%
- High sintered density
- Uniform mold filling
- Ready-to-press
Our team of experts is available to discuss custom materials and unique requirements.
