LANTHANATED MOLYBDENUM MILL PRODUCTS & COMPONENTS
MoLa Lanthanated Molybdenum — Technical Sourcing
Global sourcing for lanthanated molybdenum sheet, plate, foil, rod, bar, wire and high-temperature components.
MNK-G.S.A treats MoLa as a manufacturer- and specification-controlled family. Lanthana content, product form, dimensions, condition, properties and documentation are verified before any equivalence or performance claim is accepted.
MoLa Chemistry Must Be Stated Explicitly
“MoLa” can describe different lanthana-doped molybdenum variants. Published specialist datasheets include, for example, rod with nominal 0.3 wt.% La₂O₃ and flat products with nominal 0.7 wt.% La₂O₃. These are not automatically interchangeable, so the customer requirement and manufacturer datasheet govern the supply.
Material Definition and Supply Scope
MoLa Rod and Bar
Lanthana-doped molybdenum long products sourced by the exact manufacturer grade, nominal La₂O₃ content, diameter, length, surface condition and tolerance.
MoLa Sheet and Foil
Cold- or hot-rolled flat products sourced by grade, thickness, width, length, condition, surface finish and grain-direction requirements.
MoLa Plate
Plate availability is source- and chemistry-specific. Thickness, maximum format, production route and required condition are confirmed as one combination.
Wire
Fine and larger-diameter MoLa wire is sourced under manufacturer specifications unless the customer provides a governing product standard.
High-Temperature Parts
Furnace racks, trays, boats, heat shields, heating elements and custom components are reviewed against temperature, atmosphere, load and fabrication route.
No Automatic Equivalence
MoLa, HCT potassium-doped molybdenum, pure molybdenum and TZM are separate material families. Similar high-temperature use does not establish grade equivalence.
Typical Global Sourcing Range
The ranges below represent typical global sourcing and manufacturing capability across specialist sources. They are not MNK stock and do not describe one universal factory envelope.
| Product Form | Typical Global Sourcing Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wire | Approximately Ø0.20–3.17 mm | Exact grade, La2O3 level, condition and finish are confirmed together. |
| Sheet / Plate | Approximately 0.25–50 mm thickness | Width and length depend on thickness, rolling condition and source. |
| Rod / Bar | Subject to manufacturer grade | Diameter, length and finish are confirmed for the selected MoLa composition. |
| Custom Parts | According to drawing | High-temperature performance requirements must be stated in the inquiry. |
MoLa 0.3, MoLa 0.6 and MoLa 1.1 are not assumed to be available from every source.
Actual availability depends on grade, specification, quantity, tolerances, certification requirements and manufacturing source. Diameter, thickness, width and length must be confirmed as one complete combination.
Standards and Documentation
Manufacturer Grade Controls
MoLa composition and product condition are normally governed by the selected manufacturer datasheet or customer specification, including the declared La₂O₃ level.
ASTM Scope Check
ASTM B386/B386M and B387/B387M list pure molybdenum, TZM and Mo-30W grades; they do not automatically designate every commercial MoLa variant.
Customer Specifications
A customer drawing or technical specification may define chemistry, recrystallization behavior, mechanical properties, grain structure and inspection requirements.
EN 10204:2004
European inspection documents can be requested by type, such as 3.1 or 3.2, subject to the selected manufacturer and agreed test scope.
European Product Standards
No generic EN or DIN designation is presented as a universal MoLa equivalent. Any requested European product standard is checked by exact document number, edition and applicability.
Certificate Review
The certificate is checked for declared grade, chemistry, heat or lot traceability, dimensions and the tests required by the purchase specification.
Application Context
Vacuum Furnaces
MoLa is used for selected hot-zone components such as trays, racks, boats, shields and supports where recrystallization behavior and fabrication route matter.
Heating Components
Heating elements and supports require review of electrical loading, operating atmosphere, geometry, joints and the exact MoLa grade.
Engineered Parts
Cut, formed, machined and assembled components are developed from compatible starting material after drawing and process review.
Capability Note
Published dimensional ranges describe demonstrated manufacturing capability across specialist sources, not guaranteed stock and not one universal mill envelope. Diameter, thickness, width, length, condition, tolerance and quantity must be confirmed as one complete combination for each inquiry.
