Description

The National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland (NMIS) is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced suppliers with the capability and capacity to supply and deliver a high temperature material. The high temperature material is required for the manufacture of an isothermal die stack, capable of operating within an isothermal forging vacuum chamber at a temperature of 1200⁰C and loads of up to 2000 tons. The material is required to take the form of a molybdenum based alloy which can withstand and operate up to 1200⁰C in a vacuum or inert gas atmosphere. Approximate dimensions are in the range of 400mm in diameter and 200mm in height.The University is specifically interested in suppliers who can provide Titanium-Zirconium-Molybdenum (TZM) to conform to the requirements.

Total Quantity or Scope

The National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland (NMIS) is seeking suitably qualified and experienced suppliers with the capability and capacity to supply and deliver a high temperature material. The high temperature material is required for the manufacture of an isothermal die stack, capable of operating within an isothermal forging vacuum chamber at a temperature of 1200⁰C and loads of up to 2000 tons. - The material is required to take the form of a molybdenum based alloy which can withstand and operate within the temperate range of 1080⁰C and 1200⁰C in a vacuum or inert gas atmosphere. Approximate dimensions are in the range of 400mm in diameter and 200mm in height. - The proposed material is required to have strong thermal and creep resistance characteristics and should also be capable of withstanding extreme thermal and mechanical loads in service. - The Material shall be supplied in the as-wrought and stress relieved condition (not recrystallized). - The final material will require Non-destructive ultrasonic testing. There must be no presence of cracks and surface defects upon delivery to site. - The supplier's solution will include the delivery of the material to the AFRC, based in Inchinnan Scotland.
