Molybdenum Lanthanum MoLa Alloy Sheets

MoLa alloys have great formability at all grade levels when compared to pure molybdenum in the same condition. Pure molybdenum recrystallizes at approximately 1200 °C and becomes very brittle with less than 1% elongation, which makes it not formable in this condition.

MoLa alloys in plate and sheet forms perform better than pure molybdenum and TZM for high temperature applications. That is above 1100 °C for molybdenum and above 1500 °C for TZM. The maximum advisable temperature for MoLa is 1900 °C, due to the release of lanthana particles from the surface at higher than 1900 °C temperature.

The "best value" MoLa alloy is the one containing 0.6 wt % lanthana. It exhibits the best combination of properties. Low lanthana MoLa alloy is an equivalent substitute for pure Mo in the temperature range of 1100 °C – 1900 °C. The advantages of high lanthana MoLa, like superior creep resistance, are only realized, if the material is recrystallized prior to use at high temperatures.

High-Temperature Stability: MoLa alloy has a recrystallization temperature above 1500°C and maintains excellent performance at temperatures up to 2000°C, making it ideal for extreme high-temperature environments.

Creep Resistance: Compared to pure molybdenum, MoLa alloy exhibits significantly enhanced creep resistance. For example, MoLa with 1.1% La₂O₃ has five times the strength of pure molybdenum at 1500°C.

Ductility & Workability: MoLa alloy offers excellent ductility and can be processed into various shapes. Its thin sheets demonstrate consistent bending performance in both longitudinal and transverse directions, facilitating the fabrication of complex components.

Oxidation Resistance: The addition of lanthanum oxide improves oxidation resistance, enabling superior performance in high-temperature oxidizing environments.

High Strength: At room temperature, MoLa alloy achieves a tensile strength of up to 1400 MPa, far exceeding that of pure molybdenum, making it advantageous for high-strength applications.

MoLa (Molybdenum Lanthanum) alloy sheets are widely used due to their excellent high-temperature properties. They are ideal for aerospace components like rocket nozzles, furnace heating elements, semiconductor parts, and medical devices, offering high strength and thermal stability.

Aerospace Industry: Used in rocket nozzles, heat shields, and high-temperature structural components due to its exceptional strength and thermal stability.

High-Temperature Furnaces & Heat Treatment Equipment: Ideal for heating elements, crucibles, and support structures in industrial furnaces, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures.

Electronics & Semiconductor Industry: Applied in high-thermal-stability components such as high-temperature electrodes and support parts.

Glass & Metal Processing: Utilized in glass fiber production tools, glass-forming equipment, and high-temperature metalworking molds.

Medical Industry: Suitable for high-temperature, high-strength medical devices, including sterilization equipment and surgical instruments.

FAQ

Are you a factory or manufacturer?

A: Yes, we are a factory but generally, we use our trading company to handle the business abroad. It will be convenient to receive the remittance and arrange the shipment.

What is the delivery method?

A: Generally, we send cargo by UPS, DHL or FedEx. Also, we can send by sea to seaport or by air to the closest airport.

Why is your product so cost-effective?

A: We cut out the middlemen in the end-to-end manufacturing process. Rather than obtaining semi-finished goods from other suppliers, we obtain our raw material of APT powder directly from its source.

Do you do spot quality inspection or full inspection?

A: 100% full inspection. Inspectors will check the finished product individually, to ensure they adhere to all parameters. All unqualified products are discarded.

How do you ensure your lead time?

A: We have an efficient Order Management System, from material preparation to machining, and finally to a full inspection. Every stage of production is strictly monitored and controlled to give you an accurate delivery time.

What is the MOQ of Molybdenum Lanthanum MoLa Alloy Sheets?

A: Depends on quantity, generally, no MOQ limit.

How to pay for it?

A: A bank transfer (T/T) will be acceptable.

What is the delivery time?

A: around 7-20 days which depends on the quantity and production.

What is kind of the package?

A: Generally, we use a carton case or plywood case with protective material inside to ensure the save of cargo

What is the lead time?

A: from order placed to cargo receiving will take around 10-25 days.

How does MoLa compare to pure molybdenum and TZM alloy?

Strength: MoLa (1.1% La₂O₃) has 5× higher strength than pure Mo at 1500°C.

Creep Resistance: Outperforms both pure Mo and TZM, especially above 1800°C.

Oxidation Resistance: La₂O₃ doping significantly improves high-temperature oxidation resistance.

Can MoLa alloy be machined into complex shapes?

Yes! MoLa's balanced ductility allows machining into sheets, rods, wires, and custom geometries with consistent bendability (longitudinal/transverse).

What's the maximum operating temperature for MoLa?

MoLa retains stable performance up to 2000°C, thanks to its high recrystallization temperature (>1500°C).

Is MoLa alloy corrosion-resistant?

While not inherently corrosion-proof, its La₂O₃ content enhances high-temperature oxidation resistance in air or aggressive environments.
