Niobium alloys - Import export

Metallic hot zones are made for very high temperatures between 1000 °C (1 832°F) and 2 800 °C (5 072 °F). As a specialist in refractory metals Plansee delivers molybdenum and tungsten hot zones with an excellent form stability and lifetime. Plansee designs and produces hot zones for various types of furnaces (vacuum, protective gas atmosphere, HIP etc) and thermal processes such as sintering, brazing or annealing. Hot zones consist of countless individual parts such as heating elements, shield packs and hearth assemblies and charge carriers. You can find all of these components at Plansee. - Hot zones made from molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, niobium and their alloys - Full metal or hybrid hot zones with graphite or ceramic fiber insulation - From very small (a few cm³) through to very large (several m³) hot zones - For temperatures of between 1000°C (1832°F) and 2800°C (5072°F) - Tailor-made design: round, rectangular, vertical, horizontal or special geometries

Plansee supplies sintering and annealing boats made of molybdenum, tantalum, niobium, tungsten and various alloys such as ML or TZM. They are dimensionally stable, corrosion resistant against many chemicals and have a very good creep resistance. Whether is is continuous or batch furnaces - Plansee has the right solution at hand. For best quality surfaces we supply sintering and annealing boats with coatings made of aluminum and zirconium. Plansee produces its boats according to the customer's drawing in different sizes and shapes.

HPM® 625 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy with niobium which is well suited for a wide range of severe corrosive environments. The alloy composition provides a product which performs well at elevated temperatures up to 1800°F. The strength can be increased by cold working. The alloy is readily formed in the annealed temper, and can be joined by the standard welding and brazing processes. Available Sizes: HPM® 625 is available from Hamilton Precision Metals as strip product in thicknesses from 0.001” to 0.025” (0.0254 mm to 0.635 mm) in widths up to 12.0” (304.8 mm). The material conforms to ASTM B443, AMS 5599 and UNS N06625.** **Hamilton Precision Metals can also supply product to AMS 5879 (UNS N06626) for demanding fatigue applications, which incorporates double melting, and restrictive limits for Carbon and Nitrogen.
