Refractory Metals

Refractory Metals are a class of metal elements that possess exceptional thermal tolerance.

Refractory Metals Supplied

  • Tungsten (W) – Purity 90.00% – 99.99%
  • Tungsten Alloys
    • Tungsten Carbide (WC)
    • Tungsten Copper (WCu)
  • Molybdenum (Mo) – Purity 99.90% – 99.95%
  • Molybdenum Alloys
    • Molybdenum Lanthanum (MoLa)
    • Titanium Zirconium Molybdenum (TZM)
    • Molybdenum Tungsten (MoW20)
  • Titanium (Ti) – Purity 99.90% – 99.99%
  • Titanium Alloys (Ti)

Based on a broader definition of the class of Refractory Metals, this class of metals have similar properties, namely:

  • Excellent Wear / Abrasion Resistance
  • High Melting Points (>2000 °C), Strength and Hardness
  • Resistance to Thermal Shock
  • Chemically Inert
  • High Densities
  • Good Electrical and Heat Conductivity
  • Resistant to Creep Deformation when exposed to very high temperatures.

As such, Refractory Metals are typically used in Lighting and Production Tools.

Refractory Metals are available from a varied range of forms such as Rods, Plates, Sheets and Custom Designed Machined Parts with purities ranging from 90.00% – 99.99%.
