Molybdenum-Lanthanum Alloy (Mo-La Alloy)
Inquiry NowProduct Description
Molybdenum-Lanthanum Alloy (Mo-La), also known as Lanthanated Molybdenum, is a high-performance refractory metal alloy containing small amounts of lanthanum oxide (La₂O₃). This addition enhances the alloy’s strength, ductility, and resistance to recrystallization, making it ideal for high-temperature applications. Mo-La exhibits superior creep resistance, improved machinability, and excellent thermal stability compared to pure molybdenum. Due to its outstanding properties, this alloy is widely used in aerospace, furnace components, and high-temperature structural applications.
At M-Kube, we can offer Molybdenum-Lanthanum Alloy in the form of wires, sheets, rods, plates and other special shape products depending on the custom requirements of the customer.
Key Features
- Enhanced High-Temperature Strength – Maintains structural integrity under extreme heat.
- Excellent Creep Resistance – Reduces deformation under prolonged stress.
- Superior Ductility & Workability – Easier to machine and form than pure molybdenum.
- Improved Oxidation Resistance – Performs well in high-temperature oxidizing environments.
- High Thermal & Electrical Conductivity – Efficient heat dissipation and electrical performance.
- Low Thermal Expansion – Ensures dimensional stability in precision applications.
