Short answer: HXSCO supplies refractory metals — tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum and niobium — the ultra-high-melting, high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials behind furnace parts, aerospace and chemical plant where conventional metals melt or corrode.
At a Glance
Why Refractory Metals
Refractory metals melt above 2000 °C and keep strength and corrosion resistance where steel, nickel and even cobalt alloys fail. They sit far beyond our Nickel Alloy Supplier and Cobalt Alloy Supplier ranges for the most extreme duty. Tungsten leads on melting point and density; molybdenum on high-temperature strength; tantalum on corrosion; niobium on superconductivity.
Grades We Stock
We supply tungsten rod, sheet and heavy alloy; molybdenum plate, rod and TZM; tantalum sheet, rod and wire for chemical and capacitor use; and niobium for superconducting and alloying duty. Selection follows the service exactly as in Metal Surface Treatment Guide and Galvanic Corrosion Guide.
Processing & Quality
Refractory metals are hard, dense and reactive at temperature, so they need dedicated tooling, vacuum or inert-atmosphere processing and strict cleanliness. We finish parts by our Forging Supplier and Cnc Machining Supplier programmes and ship every lot with a mill certificate per Mill Test Certificate Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Refractory metals are high-melting metals (tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, niobium, rhenium) that keep strength and resist corrosion far beyond steel and nickel alloys.
Tungsten is used for lamp filaments, electrical contacts, electrodes, counterweights and cutting tools because of its highest melting point and density.
Yes. Tantalum is one of the most corrosion-resistant metals, used in aggressive chemical plant, capacitors and medical implants.
Yes. HXSCO supplies tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum and niobium in rod, plate, sheet and wire with mill certificates.
