TZM Alloy Scrap Value — What It's Worth and How to Identify It

TZM (Titanium-Zirconium-Molybdenum) is a premium molybdenum alloy that commands the highest prices in the moly scrap market. Here's everything you need to know.

What Is TZM?

TZM is a molybdenum alloy containing approximately 0.5% titanium and 0.08% zirconium. These small additions dramatically improve the alloy's strength at elevated temperatures compared to pure molybdenum.

TZM Applications That Generate Scrap

Hot forging dies: TZM is widely used for forging dies for titanium and nickel superalloy components. Worn dies are a major source of TZM scrap.

Aerospace tooling: TZM tooling from aerospace manufacturing operations generates high-value scrap.

Nuclear applications: TZM is used in some nuclear reactor components and research applications.
