Refractory Metals are defined as metals that have a melting temperature above 2000 deg C. Refractory Metals maintain strength at elevated temperatures in a controlled atmosphere or vacuum. These metals include:
- Molybdenum
- TZM
- Tungsten
- Tungsten Alloy
- Niobium
- Tantalum
- Chromium
Important properties making Refractory Metals commercially important are low vapor pressure, low coefficient of thermal expansion, good electric and thermal conductivity, resistance to creep necessary for dimensional stability, as well as strength at elevated temperature and high melting temperature. All of these properties contribute to the importance of Precision Refractory Metal Machining and applications in the Electronics, Semiconductor, Medical, Lighting, Aerospace and Defense Industries.

SEMICONDUCTOR and ELECTRONICS
All Refractory Metals including Pure Tungsten, Tungsten Alloys, Molybdenum, TZM Alloys, Tantalum, Niobium, and Chromium are precision machined and fabricated to tight tolerance features, difficult by most standards to obtain. These Refractory Metals are best suited for use in Semiconductor and Electronic high energy applications because of their strength and dimensional stability at extremely high operating temperatures without contaminating the process. Sylhan is best able to provide these engineered products to your specifications because of our experience with all Refractory Metal Machining Manufacturing.
