Main elements
| Molybdenum (Mo) | ≥ 99.95 % (pure grade) |
|---|---|
| Molybdenum (Mo) – technical grade | ≥ 99.9 % |
| TZM alloy (R03630) | Ti 0.4 – 0.55 % · Zr 0.06 – 0.12 % |
| MoLa alloy (lanthanated) | La₂O₃ 0.3 – 0.7 % |
| Impurities (W, Fe, O, C) | traces |
Indicative values: distinguish between pure molybdenum, technical grades and alloys (TZM, MoLa). The quality is certified by analysis for each batch.
Physical and mechanical data
