TZM (Titanium-Zirconium-Molybdenum) is an alloy made of Titanium (Ti), Zirconium (Zr), and Molybdenum (Mo). It is known for its high strength, high temperature resistance, low thermal expansion, and excellent creep resistance.
These properties make it a popular material for use in high temperature and high stress applications, such as furnace linings, aerospace components, and mechanical seals. The alloy is also known for its low density, good thermal conductivity, and high dimensional stability.
TZM alloy is used in various high temperature and high stress applications because of its unique properties. Some common uses of TZM alloy include:
Aerospace industry: TZM alloy is used in components for aerospace and aircraft due to its high strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand high temperatures.
High-temperature furnace components: TZM alloy can withstand temperatures up to 1800°C, making it suitable for use in high-temperature furnace applications, such as heat exchangers and furnace linings.
