CTIA’s TZM Alloy in Glass Stirrers

CTIA’s TZM alloy (Titanium Zirconium Molybdenum) is used for high-temperature components in glass stirrers, including stirring shafts, stirring rods, and stirring blades. Manufactured through powder metallurgy processes, TZM uses high-purity molybdenum powder as the matrix with titanium (Ti: 0.40–0.55%), zirconium (Zr: 0.06–0.12%), and carbon (C: 0.01–0.04%) additions to form TiC and ZrC strengthening phases. It provides good high-temperature strength, creep resistance, and dimensional stability, meeting the long-term operating requirements of glass stirrers under molten glass, rotary loads, and thermal cycling conditions. CTIA’s TZM alloy is widely used in photovoltaic glass, electronic glass, optical glass, and specialty glass manufacturing.

Advantages of CTIA’s TZM Alloy in Glass Stirrers
(1) Stable High-Temperature Mechanical Performance
Maintains high strength under elevated temperatures, withstands torsional loads and thermal stresses generated during stirring, and reduces the risk of component failure.
(2) Excellent Deformation Resistance
Provides excellent creep resistance to reduce bending and dimensional changes during long-term high-temperature operation, maintaining stirring structure stability.
(3) Good Microstructural Stability
TiC and ZrC strengthening phases improve high-temperature microstructural stability, delay grain coarsening, and enhance long-term service performance.
(4) Thermal Cycling Resistance
A low coefficient of thermal expansion (approximately 5.5–5.9×10⁻⁶/K) helps reduce thermal stress during repeated heating and cooling cycles, improving component reliability.
(5) High Precision Machining Capability
Supports precision machining according to stirrer designs, meeting dimensional accuracy requirements for stirring shafts, blades, and connecting components.

Applications of CTIA’s TZM Alloy in Glass Stirrers
(1) Glass Melt Stirring Shafts
Used for transmitting rotational power and maintaining structural stability during long-term high-temperature operation.
(2) Stirring Blade Assemblies
Used for mixing molten glass to improve composition uniformity and product quality consistency.
(3) Stirring Rods and Connecting Components
Used for connecting and securing stirring structures while withstanding mechanical loads during operation.
(4) Continuous Glass Production Equipment
Used in high-temperature stirring systems for photovoltaic glass, electronic glass, and specialty glass production lines.
