Molybdenum is a rare and valuable metal that has become increasingly important in modern manufacturing. With its unique properties, molybdenum has found its way into various industries, including construction, automotive, aerospace, power generation, and chemical processing. This versatile metal is commonly used as an alloying agent in steel production, where its high melting point, high
Molybdenum is a transition metal element and is an essential trace element for the human body, animals, and plants. Molybdenum is a silver-white metal, hard and tough. A major application of molybdenum has to mention its importance in stainless steel. The common name stainless steel refers to a large class of iron-based alloys that contain
Nowadays, molybdenum metal occupies an increasingly important position in the deep processing industry. For example, molybdenum wire has been widely used in modern mold processing. At present, the molybdenum wires used in wire electric discharge cutting on the market mainly include pure molybdenum wires and molybdenum-lanthanum alloy wires. If you want to know how molybdenum
Molybdenum and molybdenum alloy products, such as molybdenum plate, molybdenum rod, molybdenum wire, molybdenum tube, molybdenum foil, etc., are prepared by powder metallurgy and subsequent deformation processing technology. The mixed molybdenum and molybdenum alloy powders are first made into green compacts by conventional pressing or isostatic pressing techniques. The compacts are then sintered in a
As is known to all, molybdenum is mainly consumed in the iron and steel industry, most of which are directly used for steelmaking or cast iron after pressing molybdenum oxide blocks, and a few are smelted into ferromolybdenum and molybdenum foil before being used for steelmaking. The content of molybdenum in low alloy steel is
Properties of Molybdenum Molybdenum is a silver-white refractory metal with a melting point of 2615°C and a density of 10.2 g/cm3. Its coefficient of expansion is small, almost the same as that of the special glass for electron tubes, about 4.8 µm·m−1·K−1 (25 °C). Molybdenum is very stable at room temperature. When it is higher
