CHEMETAL USA is a leading molybdenum plate and molybdenum sheet supplier. We are now capable of machining molybdenum plates and sheets with a range of thickness from 12mm to less than 0.5mm. This is achieved by going through a series of processes including hot rolling, warm rolling, cold rolling and others. Our molybdenum sheet and molybdenum plate are initially rolled out from molybdenum ingot. Before that, the molybdenum ingot is generally made by isostatic pressing and then sintering the pure molybdenum powders under a high temperature. Finally, the Molybdenum metal needs to go through several processes, such as a cross rolling process, vacuum annealing and leveling, depending on which conditions the customer requires. As a refractory metals manufacturer, CHEMETAL USA is capable of offering various types of Molybdenum plate, TZM plate and Lanthanated Molybdenum plate that all meet a consistently high standard of flatness, roughness and machinability. We are also able to provide a fast lead time and handle large-volume contracts. CONTACT US and download our PRODUCT CATALOG to learn more about our Molybdenum products.

Properties And Applications Molybdenum Plate
Molybdenum plate is the most common material chosen out of all the various molybdenum products. Many high temperature and electronic industries require molybdenum flat materials to produce furnace boats, hot zones, heat shielding, target materials
etc. The reason is that molybdenum material has a variety of valuable properties, which include high strength, hardness and heat conductivity in high-temperature atmosphere. It also has a low coefficient of expansion and excellent resistance to heat and corrosion. Some rapidly developing industries such as aerospace, electronics, and thermal treatment use a large amount of molybdenum plates products, especially in large size.
Take the example of the molybdenum plate used to produce the electronic and vacuum components. An ideal material for electronic and vacuum components needs to have high strength, a homogenous structure, precise dimensions, and excellent machinability. Molybdenum plate can meet all these requirements. At the same time, it can also ensure perfect control in the range of yield strength, elongation and machining tolerance.

TZM Alloy Plate Applications
High temperature TZM sheet is a popular molybdenum-based alloy utilized in the furnace and in heat-treating structural components such as shielding and supporting parts since it has a high creep resistance. What is more, TZM molybdenum sheet is very suited to make high temperature and high strength TZM moly forging dies for isothermal forging, ferrous and non-ferrous metals casting and Molybdenum TZM piercing plugs. In addition, TZM sheet is an excellent choice as a high-recrystallization and weldable temperature material for the aerospace application.
