TZM Extrusion
Elmet Technologies specializes in TZM (Titanium-Zirconium-Molybdenum) extrusion, a high-performance refractory alloy engineered for the most demanding applications. Composed of 0.5% titanium, 0.08% zirconium, 0.03% carbon, and molybdenum as the balance, TZM delivers exceptional strength, thermal stability, and resistance to wear and oxidation.
Our advanced extrusion process transforms this specialized material into precision components that thrive in extreme temperatures. In applications where standard materials often fail, TZM is the ideal material for aerospace, energy, and high-temperature industrial environments.
TZM Extrusion Material Properties
- Exceptional High-Temperature Performance
- TZM maintains structural integrity and strength at temperatures where other materials soften or fail, making it ideal for components operating in extreme heat.
- Enhanced Creep Resistance
- The balanced titanium and zirconium additions improve TZM’s resistance to deformation under sustained high-temperature loads, ensuring long-term stability.
- Superior Thermal Conductivity
- TZM transfers heat efficiently while maintaining integrity, making it perfect for heat sinks, thermoelectric coolers, and thermal management applications.
- Outstanding Mechanical Strength
- It provides excellent properties under heavy loads and mechanical stress, delivering durability that extends component life in demanding environments.
