TZM Rod
Description
Description
TZM molybdenum rod made to ASTM B387, Molybdenum Alloy 364 (powder-metallurgy TZM).
TZM is molybdenum alloyed with small amounts of titanium and zirconium (titanium 0.40–0.55%, zirconium 0.06–0.12%). These additions make it stronger than pure molybdenum at high temperature, improve its creep resistance and raise its recrystallization temperature, while keeping molybdenum's density of about 10.2 g/cm³ and its 2623 °C melting point.
Typical uses: vacuum and high-temperature furnace hardware such as heating-element supports, fixtures, fasteners and heat shields; hot-work tooling and die-casting cores; and other parts that must keep their strength at temperatures where pure molybdenum softens.
Diameters from 0.125" to 2.5" in 12" lengths, with many smaller diameters also stocked in 36", 48" and 1 meter lengths. All material is lot controlled, and material certifications are available on request with purchase.

Frequently asked questions
What is TZM?
What is TZM?
TZM is a molybdenum alloy with small additions of titanium and zirconium. It keeps molybdenum's density of about 10.2 g/cm³ and its very high melting point of 2623 °C.
What rod sizes are available?
What rod sizes are available?
Diameters from 0.125 inch to 2.5 inches. All diameters come in 12 inch lengths; many of the smaller diameters are also stocked in 36 inch, 48 inch, or 1 meter lengths.
How heavy is TZM rod?
How heavy is TZM rod?
At about 10.2 g/cm³, a 0.5 inch diameter rod 12 inches long weighs about 0.9 lb, and a 1 inch diameter rod of the same length about 3.5 lb.
Is TZM magnetic?
Is TZM magnetic?
No. TZM is molybdenum-based and is not magnetic.
