Materials and processing
Plansee molybdenum and tungsten components are manufactured from the purest refractory metals and compacted to virtually 100% density using specialized forming technologies. The high material purity and density reduce bubble formation and prevent glass discoloration, ensuring consistent optical and chemical properties in the final product.
