Applications in the paper-making industry Molybdenum powder used in the paper-making industry can make paper bright and easy to drain moisture, as well as a solid structure, uniform coating, and low friction. Since the beginning of the 1980s, the world paper industry has successfully changed from an acidic process to an alkaline process, which has revolutionized the use 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
