ASTM B387 Type 361 Bars & Rods

About ASTM B387 Type 361

ASTM B387 Type 361 is the unalloyed powder metallurgy molybdenum, which has good strength, as well as corrosion resistance. The advanced powder metallurgy techniques were used to produce Molybdenum 361 which guarantees consistency and uniformity of quality, mechanical properties, and high performance in high temperature conditions. It has an outstanding mechanical integrity at extreme temperatures, it has excellent resistance to chemical corrosion, and the thermal expansion is low, thereby providing dimensional stability.

ASTM B387 Type 361 molybdenum has a melting point of about 2,623 °C (4,753 °F) and is suitable in vacuum furnaces, heating elements, aerospace parts, high temperature laboratory facilities, research and development, machining, and precision tooling. All Molybdenum 361 rods and bars are lot-controlled and stress-relieved high high-temperature pressed and sintered, and each shipment is accompanied by a material certificate to ascertain traceability and compliance with international procedures. ASTM B387 Type 361 is the material of choice when industries need strength, stability and performance that can be relied upon even in the most extreme conditions, available in standard length of 1 meter and custom sizes available on request.

Manufacturing Process of ASTM B387 Type 361 Bars & Rods

The process of manufacturing ASTM B387 Type 361 bars and rods requires a number of procedures to ensure uniform quality, strength, and reliability. Molybdenum 361 billets are large and are heated and rolled or extruded to the required sizes. These are used to obtain good strength, smooth surfaces and correct dimensions. The inspection of the bars and the rods is particularly done during production to locate any defects that may influence the performance especially in the context of high temperature or corrosion conditions. Further forging and finishing enhance the strength, hardness and corrosion resistance of the material, so that Molybdneum 361 is robust enough to handle the demanding requirements of the aerospace and other high-performance industries.

There are also strict process and temperature regulations throughout. This assists in more retained natural properties of Molybdenum 361, producing ASTM B387 Type 361 rods and bars that are able to perform effectively even in harsh environments.
