Molybdenum Lanthanum Oxide (0.7% La2O3) Sheets Sizes
Recrystallized (MLR) Sheets
Our inventory of Molybdenum Lanthanum Oxide, MLR, is shipped in recrystallized condition and provides advanced creep resistant strength. MLR sheets are stocked in a thicker gauge than MLS sheets ranging from 0.040” up to 0.125”.
| Material | Form | Size Inches | SKU Number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Molybdenum Lanthanum Oxide | Recrystallized Sheet | 0.040” | ML-SH-040 |
| Molybdenum Lanthanum Oxide | Recrystallized Sheet | 0.060” | ML-SH-060 |
| Molybdenum Lanthanum Oxide | Recrystallized Sheet | 0.080” | ML-SH-080 |
| Molybdenum Lanthanum Oxide | Recrystallized Sheet | 0.100” | ML-SH-100 |
| Molybdenum Lanthanum Oxide | Recrystallized Sheet | 0.125” | ML-SH-125 |
Stress Relieved (MLS) Sheets
Molybdenum Lanthanum Oxide stress relieved sheets, MLS, are run through additional stress relieving heat treatments. Ed Fagan stocks these thinner gauge sheets in a range from 0.010” to 0.030” which is fitting for applications requiring ductility.
| Material | Form | Size Inches | SKU Number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Molybdenum Lanthanum Oxide | Stress Relieved Sheet | 0.010” | ML-SH-010 |
| Molybdenum Lanthanum Oxide | Stress Relieved Sheet | 0.015” | ML-SH-015 |
| Molybdenum Lanthanum Oxide | Stress Relieved Sheet | 0.020” | ML-SH-020 |
| Molybdenum Lanthanum Oxide | Stress Relieved Sheet | 0.030” | ML-SH-030 |
Molybdenum Lanthanum Oxide Description
Molybdenum Lanthanum Oxide is pure Molybdenum doped with small amounts of Lanthanum Oxide particles (0.3-0.7%) during the manufacturing process resulting in an enhanced properties profile. The addition of Lanthanum Oxide creates a special stacked fiber microstructure that is stable at temperatures up to 2000°C. After recrystallization the elongated grain structure with jagged grain boundaries provides a measurable increase in ductility over pure Molybdenum. ML/MLR/MLS is used where embrittlement after recrystallization must be avoided and is ideal for applications where pure Mo will not provide the increased ductility, creep resistant strength and other properties this material delivers.
Molybdenum Oxide Properties
- Good Ductility
- High Temperature Stability and Strength
- Stacked Fiber Microstructure
- Higher Recrystallization Temperature than Pure Mo
- Increased Creep Resistance Over Pure Mo
