What Is the Processing Difficulty of TZM Alloy Rods?

The processing difficulty of TZM alloy rod is relatively high, mainly due to the following factors:

High hardness: TZM alloy rod has high hardness, which puts forward higher requirements on cutting tools and processing equipment during its processing. During the machining process, it is necessary to select appropriate carbide tools to ensure the cutting effect and the life of the tool.

High melting point: One of the main components of TZM alloy rod is molybdenum, which has a high melting point, about 2610°C. During the processing, high-temperature tools and equipment, such as high-temperature furnaces, electron beam welding equipment, etc., are required to ensure the processing temperature and process requirements of the material.

High density: TZM alloy rod has a high density, about 10.2 g/cm³, which makes it require the stability and strength of equipment and tools during its processing.

High plastic deformation temperature: TZM alloy rods have a high plastic deformation temperature, which may require higher temperatures and professional equipment for some processing methods, such as forging, stretching, etc.

Chemical reactivity: TZM alloy rods may undergo chemical reactions under high temperature and certain environmental conditions, such as reactions with oxygen, water vapor, etc. During the processing, attention should be paid to controlling the processing environment to avoid oxidation and corrosion of materials.
