TZM Tube
TZM Tube Manufacturer | Custom TZM Molybdenum Alloy Tubes
TZM Tube is a high-temperature molybdenum alloy tube manufactured from Titanium-Zirconium-Molybdenum (TZM) alloy.
TZM alloy offers higher recrystallization temperature, improved high-temperature strength and better creep resistance than commercially pure molybdenum, making TZM tubes suitable for demanding high-temperature applications.
We manufacture and supply custom TZM tubes with different outer diameters, inner diameters, wall thicknesses, lengths and tolerances according to customer drawings and technical requirements.
Custom TZM alloy tubes are available for vacuum furnaces, high-temperature equipment and specialized industrial applications.

TZM Alloy Tube
TZM is a molybdenum-based alloy containing small amounts of titanium, zirconium and carbon.
A typical TZM composition is:
ElementTypical ContentMoBalanceTi0.40–0.55%Zr0.06–0.12%C0.01–0.04%
The addition of titanium and zirconium improves the high-temperature mechanical performance of molybdenum.
TZM is therefore commonly selected for applications where higher strength and creep resistance are required compared with pure molybdenum.
