Molybdenum Lanthanum Application
Molybdenum Lanthanum (MoLa) alloy is widely used in high-temperature and high-stress applications due to its excellent thermal stability, ductility, and wear resistance. Key applications include:
- High-Temperature Furnace Components – Molybdenum Lanthanum are used in heating elements, shields, and structural parts for vacuum and hydrogen furnaces.
- Aerospace & Defense – Applied in rocket nozzles, heat shields, and other high-temperature aerospace components.
- Metal Processing & Glass Industry – Used in Molybdenum Lanthanum crucibles, molds, and components for high-temperature glass melting and metal casting.
- Medical & Energy Applications – Applied in medical imaging devices, nuclear energy components, and radiation shielding.
MoLa’s enhanced creep resistance and high recrystallization temperature make it ideal for extreme environments where standard molybdenum would degrade.
