Custom Metal Alloys & Tungsten Composites

MoLa, TZM, tungsten–molybdenum, tungsten–copper and tungsten heavy alloy options for custom material forms and finished components. Select a defined material system, then review its grade, processing route and application requirements for quotation.

Identify the material system in your specification

Our product brochure includes the following alloy and composite families. Their names describe different compositions and structures, rather than interchangeable grades. Specify an exact designation or share your operating requirements if material selection is still open.
Material familyWhat the name meansCustom project inputs
MoLaMolybdenum-lanthanum material; distinct from pure molybdenum and TZMRequired grade, form, thermal cycle and mechanical duty
TZMTitanium-zirconium-molybdenum alloyMaterial standard, geometry, load and service environment
W–MoTungsten–molybdenum alloy systemRequested composition or grade and intended application
W–CuTungsten–copper composite materialComposition or grade, thermal/electrical duty and interfaces
Tungsten heavy alloysHigh-tungsten-content alloy systems; distinct from pure tungstenNamed grade, density requirement if specified, part geometry and function
Molybdenum lanthanum rod examples from the product brochure
MoLa rod examples; composition and dimensions are confirmed for the selected grade.

Material forms and drawing-based parts

Discuss plates, rods, blanks and custom components in the selected material. Not every form or manufacturing route applies to every alloy. Define the final dimensions, critical features, surface requirements and intended further processing, so the appropriate route can be assessed.

Choose by service conditions, not only by a material name

For thermal parts, identify temperature, atmosphere, thermal cycling and load. For electrical or heat-management components, state the required duty and interface details. For a counterweight or shielding component, supply the assembly drawing and your engineering material requirements; a material category alone does not establish a certified shielding performance.
Tungsten–copper is commonly described as a composite, so this page does not treat it as a homogeneous alloy. Tungsten heavy alloy is also distinct from cemented carbide. If your drawing uses a trade name, add the corresponding material standard or composition specification where available.

Inspection follows the agreed grade and part requirements

State whether you need material identification, composition documentation, dimensional inspection or other agreed checks. Required properties, tolerances and documents are part of the quotation review rather than an assumed capability for every grade.

Questions before you order

Can I enquire about TZM or MoLa without specifying dimensions yet?

Yes. Describe the application and approximate product form to start a discussion. The grade, dimensions and required conditions must then be defined for a concrete quotation.

Is tungsten–copper the same as tungsten heavy alloy?

No. They are different material systems. W–Cu combines tungsten and copper as a composite; tungsten heavy alloys use other alloy systems. Send the exact designation required by your drawing.

Can an alloy be substituted for pure tungsten or molybdenum?

Treat substitution as an engineering decision. Composition, service environment, mechanical duty and processing differ. We review an enquiry against the material you specify rather than assuming that an alloy is a direct replacement.

Tell us what you need to make

Email your drawing, sketch or application description to sales@bomometals.com. An incomplete specification is a starting point for discussion.
  • Material or grade, if already specified; otherwise describe the application.
  • Exact alloy or composite grade, required form, drawing, dimensions and any specified material properties.
  • Quantity for the first order and expected repeat demand.
  • Operating conditions and any required inspection or material documents.
  • Destination country, delivery location and requested schedule.
Dimensions, achievable tolerances, documentation, lead time and quotation terms are reviewed for the individual project.
