Molded article made of a molybdenum-aluminum-titanium alloy

A method for producing a molded article from a molybdenum-based alloy consisting of 4 wt. % to 8 wt. % aluminum, 3 wt. % to 6 wt. % titanium and, as the remainder, molybdenum and impurities associated therewith, the method comprising the following chronologically successive steps:

• A) producing a melt consisting of 4 wt. % to 8 wt. % aluminum, 3 wt. % to 6 wt. % titanium and, as the remainder, molybdenum and impurities associated therewith,
• B) pouring the melt into a casting mold and solidifying the melt in the casting mold to form a molded article in the casting mold, and
• C) releasing the molded article thus obtained from the casting mold.

A molded article consisting of a metallic molybdenum-based alloy, the metallic molybdenum-based alloy consisting of at least 4 wt. % up to a maximum of 8 wt. % aluminum, at least 3 wt. % up to a maximum of 6 wt. % titanium and, as the remainder, molybdenum and impurities associated therewith, wherein

• the molded article is a crucible, a rod, a rod having a point for use as a crystal nucleus for crystal growing, a sheet, a plate, a pipe, a heating coil or a heater rod;
• and
• the molded article is produced directly or indirectly by means of solidification from a melt.
