Introduction The glass industry is always looking for ways to make glass in cleaner, more efficient, and cheaper ways. Recently, using molybdenum electrodes in electric furnaces has become a big deal. It’s a new method that’s quite different from the old ways of making glass using gas furnaces. Let’s break down the differences between these
Understanding the role of molybdenum electrodes in the glass melting process is pivotal for industries relying on high-quality glass production. Molybdenum, a refractory metal known for its high melting point, superior strength, and excellent thermal conductivity, has become increasingly vital in the glass manufacturing sector. This article delves into the nuances of molybdenum electrodes
What Are Molybdenum Electrodes? Molybdenum electrodes are formed by balanced pressing, forging to various of types after sintering with medium frequency furnace and then turning, rolling, planning and milling. It is used as electro-heat equipment of the glass fiber kiln. The main component of the molybdenum electrode is molybdenum and prepared by powder metallurgy. The
Molybdenum electrode, as the best electrode, has been used in full electric melting furnaces for more than 30 years. Molybdenum electrodes can be divided into molybdenum electrode plates and molybdenum electrode bars according to different shapes and specifications. As a conductive material, the conductive area of the molybdenum electrode plate is larger than that of
Molybdenum alloy is a nonferrous alloy composed of molybdenum matrix and other elements, which are nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), titanium (Ti), and zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), tungsten (W) and rare earth elements. The addition of alloying elements can not only strengthen molybdenum alloy in solid solution and maintain its low-temperature plasticity but also form a
Molybdenum electrode The main component of the molybdenum electrode is molybdenum and is prepared by powder metallurgy. The internationally used molybdenum electrode contains 99.95% of the components and has a density greater than 10.15g/cm3 to guarantee the quality of the glass and the service life of the electrode. The commonly used molybdenum electrode size ranges
