The molybdenum content in TZM is 99.2-99.5%, the content of titanium is 0.50%, the content of zirconium is 0.08%, and a little carbon. At high temperature above 1300 °C, the strength of TZM is twice as high as that of pure molybdenum. The recrystallization temperature of TZM is about 250 °C higher than that of pure molybdenum, and the weldability of TZM is better than that of pure molybdenum.
The price of TZM is about 25% higher than that of pure molybdenum, and the maching fee is about 5-10% higher than that of pure molybdenum. For high-strength applications such as rocket nozzle, furnace structure, forging die, TZM has good value.
