Plansee charge carreiers from refractory metals are dimensionally stable at high temperatures and in contrast to graphite parts they are also suited for high-vacuum furnaces. MLR with its superior creep resistance and retained ductility after high temperature operations is the ideal material for mechanically loaded furnace parts. Plansee designs and fabricates furnace fixtures to customer specifications, e.g. for aeronautics, glass industry, Metal Injection Molding (MIM), commercial heat treatment and various other thermal processes.
Alongside molybdenum and tungsten, we primarily manufacture our charge equipment from TZM and ML. The creep resistance of these alloys is ten times better than that of pure molybdenum and they are also exceptionally ductile. As a result, our charge systems are perfectly equipped to cope with frequent changes between high and low temperatures.
