Do you have a question about the application metals in your production process?
What is ASTM B386?
The standard ASTM B386 outlines the requirements for molybdenum and molybdenum alloys in the form of sheet, strip, foil, and ribbon. This specification includes provisions for chemical composition, mechanical properties, dimensions, density, and surface finish.
ASTM B386 is globally applied as a quality standard for molybdenum products that must perform in industrial environments under high temperatures and corrosive conditions. The standard ensures predictable material properties and reliable workability in applications where thermal and structural performance are essential.
Molybdenum alloy
What is AMS 5662 used for?
Material Properties
Molybdenum that meets ASTM B386 is characterized by a very high melting point, excellent thermal conductivity, and good structural stability at elevated temperatures. The material retains its mechanical properties under prolonged thermal stress and offers high resistance to oxidation in inert or reduced atmospheres. TZM variants enhance creep resistance, making the material suitable for more heavily loaded applications. The homogeneously distributed alloying elements and controlled microstructure ensure consistent performance and good workability.
Industrial Application
Materials compliant with ASTM B386 are widely used in sectors such as metal processing, semiconductor industry, aerospace engineering, and chemical process technology. Think of furnace components, heating elements, heat exchanger plates, sputter targets, and reactor linings. In demanding production environments where high temperatures, pressure loads, and chemical exposure converge, molybdenum according to ASTM B386 delivers reliable performance and long-lasting durability.
