Custom Molybdenum-Lanthanum Products
Custom molybdenum-lanthanum material forms and thermal components. Specify the MoLa grade, oxide addition, delivered condition and component drawing for a tailored quotation.
Molybdenum-Lanthanum: material & procurement overview
MoLa is commonly used as a name for molybdenum containing a dispersed lanthanum-oxide addition. It is different from pure molybdenum and from carbide-strengthened TZM. The selected oxide content and manufacturing route influence the material structure and its high-temperature behaviour. Our materials include MoLa rods, wire and thermal applications.
Not the same as TZM
MoLa and TZM use different strengthening systems. Match the material to the equipment specification.
Custom forms and interfaces
A rod, wire and furnace part require different dimensional, surface and assembly inputs.
Material properties & grade reference
| Property / specification | Reference or selection | Procurement meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Material system | Molybdenum with dispersed lanthanum oxide | Specify oxide content and grade; do not assume a simple metallic La addition |
| Published oxide-content examples | 0.3 or 0.7 wt% La₂O₃ | General material examples, not the complete BOMO grade range |
| Delivered condition | Specified by order | Worked, stress-relieved or other requested state affects the material |
| Density / mechanical values | Grade and condition dependent | Use an agreed grade data sheet or required test report |
| Product dimensions | Drawing-based | Define section size, length, form and critical tolerances |
Reference basis: Published molybdenum-alloy reference. These values or composition examples describe the material family. They are not guaranteed values for every delivered grade or finished component.
Published oxide-content examples explain the material family. The final MoLa composition, condition and acceptance requirements are agreed for the project; the rod photograph illustrates form rather than proving a particular oxide content.
Applications & design inputs
Connect the material choice to the finished component: identify the process, contact surfaces, operating conditions and critical assembly interfaces.
Use the examples below to prepare a drawing-based enquiry. Final material suitability and achievable geometry are reviewed for your project.
Furnace hardware
Define shield, support, fixture or heating-component geometry and the thermal environment.
Wire & rod requirements
Specify diameter, length, straightness, delivered state and the finished component role.
Thermal-process assemblies
Provide load, joining details and atmosphere for a grade-specific review.
Tell us which surfaces contact the process, which dimensions control fit, and what documentation the project requires. An application example is a starting point for a specification; final suitability is reviewed against your actual conditions.
Custom product forms & specifications
| Order input | Custom scope | What to send |
|---|---|---|
| Material and grade | Rod, wire, sheet, plate and drawing-based thermal components | Exact grade, standard, chemistry and delivered condition |
| Dimensions and features | Length, width, thickness, diameter or part geometry | Drawing revision, critical tolerances, interfaces and machining allowance |
| Surface and fabrication | Finish, cleaning, cutting or machining requirements | Mark acceptance surfaces, joining details and any permitted process route |
| Duty and documentation | Operating conditions, quantity and required checks | Include material documents, dimensional inspection, destination and requested schedule |
From your drawing to an agreed manufacturing scope
01 · Define — Send the grade, drawing and function, with unknown details clearly marked.
02 · Review — Discuss geometry, processing, surface condition and critical inspection requirements.
03 · Agree — Confirm quotation scope, documentation, packaging and delivery requirements before production.
Our material range and manufacturing photographs support drawing-based project enquiries. Achievable dimensions, material properties and inspection scope are reviewed for the actual grade and part; the photographs do not define a fixed stock item.
Molybdenum-Lanthanum procurement questions
Does MoLa always contain the same lanthanum-oxide percentage?
No. Specify the required grade and oxide content, or send your design requirements for review. A generic MoLa name does not establish one chemistry or material state.
Can you quote non-standard forms and dimensions?
Send your drawing or initial dimensions, material grade, quantity and component function. We review the required geometry and finishing together. State whether you need a material blank or a finished component.
Do the reference values define the delivered specification?
No. Use the exact grade and agreed order requirements. Tell us which material tests and inspection records you need so their scope and acceptance criteria can be included in the quotation.
