VMR Metals produces specialty and refractory metals & alloys, each processed to customer-specific requirements:
Molybdenum is essential for creating high-strength alloys used in aerospace engines, industrial turbines, and electrical contacts. Our molybdenum products undergo stringent purification processes ensuring consistent performance in demanding applications.
Tungsten's exceptional hardness and high melting point make it invaluable for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. VMR supplies high-purity tungsten for precision alloy production and specialized components.
Tantalum's corrosion resistance and biocompatibility make it critical for capacitors, surgical implants, and chemical processing equipment. Our tantalum products meet strict purity requirements for electronics manufacturers.
Niobium enhances steel strength while reducing weight—critical for automotive and pipeline applications. VMR supplies high-quality niobium for aerospace and energy sectors.
Nickel Niobium 60% finds its main application in the production of nickel based superalloys and special nickel steels. Niobium improves the mechanical properties, the weldability as well as the creep resistance of super alloys and steels. The large difference in melting point between the base metal and niobium makes it difficult to add pure niobium to the bath. Added as a master alloy, Nickel Niobium dissolves very easily. Its melting temperature is similar to or even lower than the normal operating temperature. The master alloy is also being used for adding niobium to copper nickel alloys to improve the mechanical properties, for example in cryogenic applications.
