Moly LX tubing is a Molybdenum Alloy containing Lanthanum oxide. This composition provides extraordinary ductility after exposure to elevated temperatures. Moly LX has finely disbursed particles of Lanthanum Oxide which, when combined with elongated grain structures, leads to excellent high temperature properties. Operational temperatures of 2000°C are achievable and especially with creep properties. All standard tube sizes are available with Moly LX.

Advantages of Moly LX Vs Molybdenum Tubing:

• Higher stability against grain growth (reduced brittleness)
• Higher creep resistance (prevents deformation at high temp)
• Excellent welding properties especially in tube closed ends

Advantages of Moly LX Vs Moly TZM for temp. >1400 °C:

• Higher thermal stability
• Higher creep resistance (prevents deformation at high temp)
• Better ductility after use at high temperatures

Moly LX applications:

• Manufacturing of high temperature thermocouple sheaths
• Components for furnace construction

Also available in the compacted powdered metal or low carbon vacuum arc cast forms.

Molybdenum is a soft, ductile refractory metal that is ideal for thermocouple sheaths, especially when used in very high heat conditions. Molybdenum Tubing is also specified for electrical, electronic, and semiconductor applications.

Seamless Tubing That Sets The Industry Standards
Precision tubing that provides extreme high strength and rigidity at temperatures up to 3000˚ F (1648˚ C). Durability that withstands high stress, extended temperature ranges, sudden temperature changes and harsh environments.

Thin walls that deliver unmatched temperature accuracy.

All this, and more, in a broad range of tubing lengths and diameters with superb finishes – available in both powder metal and low carbon arc cast forms.

Seamless Molybdenum and Molybdenum-Rhenium Tubing ... only from Rhenium Alloys. Customized to meet exact specifications for the most demanding applications. Also available in the compacted powdered metal or low carbon vacuum arc cast forms.

Alloying Rhenium with Molybdenum adds both ductility and strength to these tubing products. Additionally, it allows the ability to make precise thin wall tubing that provides more accurate temperature readings - while still exhibiting unparalleled strength.

Molybdenum-Rhenium Tubing is manufactured in a standard alloy of 47.5% Rhenium. It is preferred for many nuclear and aerospace critical applications, advanced electronics, new solar thermal management technologies and select medical device applications.
