MOLYBDENUM PLATE AS PER ASTM B386
Materials from .090 inches to 3 inches in thickness is classified as a plate. It is widely used in the construction of furnace tooling and parts and as a feedstock for fabricating parts in the electronics and semiconductor industries. Standard availability is described below. Other sizes and tolerances are available.
Pure Molybdenum, TZM Molybdenum, Lanthanated Molybdenum, Rhenium Molybdenum, and Tungsten Molybdenum materials are available.
| Thickness | Max. Width | Max. Length |
| .090″ | 24″ | 110″ |
| .125″ | 24″ | 80″ |
| .250″ | 24″ | 40″ |
| .500″ | 24″ | 24″ |
| >.500″ | 24″ |
For thicknesses greater than .500”, plate products are normally limited to 40 kilograms maximum weight per piece.
Molybdenum Plate Standard Thickness Tolerance
| Thickness | .25″ to 6″ | 6″ to 12″ | 12″ to 24″ |
| .090″ | ± .005″ | ± .005″ | ± .005″ |
| > .125 | ± 4% | ± 4% | ± 4% |
Molybdenum Plate Standard Width Tolerance
| Thickness | .25″ to 6″ | 6″ to 12″ | 12″ to 24″ |
| .090″ | ± .031″ | ± .031″ | ± .031″ |
| > .125 | ± .062″ | ± 062″ | ± 062″ |
Surface Condition
Plate surfaces can be supplied in a shiny, matte, or as-rolled condition; dependent upon thickness and width parameters.
Heat Treatment
Molybdenum flat products are rolled and annealed to provide the optimum condition for the desired end-use.
