Look Beyond 2013 for Moly Market Recovery, Analysts Say

Further confirmation that molybdenum prices likely will not recover until after the end of 2013 was recently provided by analysts interviewed by Metal-Stephan Ioannou, an analyst at Haywood Securities, told the publication that lack of steel demand from China continues to dampen the molybdenum market. “In terms of moly price strengthening, it’s hard to anticipate. At the very earliest it will be late this year, but probably it’s a 2014 to 2015 story,” he explained.

【Know Molybdenum】What Is Riveted TZM Tube?

Riveted TZM tube is a type of pipe product made from an alloy of titanium, zirconium, and molybdenum. With a wall thickness of only 0.6 millimeters, it is challenging to produce as a single piece and is typically manufactured using riveting. This alloy boasts excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance and mechanical strength, making it widely utilized in high-temperature and high-pressure environments such as aerospace, aircraft engines, and the nuclear industry.

【Know Molybdenum】What Is Molybdenum-Rhenium Block?

Molybdenum-rhenium alloy is a type of alloy formed by adding 14% to 47.5% rhenium to molybdenum, greatly improving the ductility, weldability, and formability of the alloy after adding rhenium. Even after high-temperature use, molybdenum-rhenium alloy can still maintain good ductility.

Molybdenum-rhenium block contains 47.5% rhenium and has dimensions of 8x8x6 millimeters. Due to its excellent high-temperature performance and corrosion resistance, it is commonly used in aerospace, aviation engines, nuclear industry, and chemical industry.

especially in applications under high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosive environments. The outstanding mechanical properties and chemical stability of molybdenum-rhenium alloy make it an ideal material for various extreme conditions.

【Know Molybdenum】TZM Alloy Properties

TZM alloy has many good properties, such as physical property, chemical property and mechanical property, including high temperature oxidation resistance, room temperature and high temperature tensile mechanical properties, high temperature bending and creep properties, high temperature fatigue resistance, so it is widely used in various fields.
