What is Molybdenum ?

Molybdenum is gray-metallic and has the third-highest melting point of any element next to tungsten and tantalum. It is found in various oxidation states in minerals but does not occur naturally as a free metal. Molybdenum allows readily to form hard and stable carbides. For this reason, Molybdenum is frequently used for making steel alloys, high strength alloys, and superalloys. Molybdenum compounds usually have a low solubility in water. Industrially, they are used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications such as pigments and catalysts. Molybdenum is the most commonly used of all refractory metals, in part because it is the least expensive refractory metal.

Like tungsten, molybdenum is used in the medical field. However, because molybdenum is less dense than tungsten, it is not used as often in radiation shielding applications. But its higher thermal conductivity, lower thermal expansion coefficient and lower overall density make it an ideal material for use in rotating x-ray anodes and CT imaging systems. Molybdenum is better suited to diagnostic imaging than shielding applications, but this refractory metal is just as indispensible to the medical field and its emerging technologies.


Application of Molybdenum


Molybdenum tube (pipe) can be used at service temperature up to 1,800 degrees.
Used in components of electron tube, heaters of high-temperature furnaces, thermocouple retainers.
Defense
High Purity Materials
Metals
Nuclear Energy
Refractory Metals & Alloys
Research and Laboratory
Space
Solar Industry


Why Use Molybdenum ?


Molybdenum is generally alloying element with steel in order to make that steel stronger. In fact, when molybdenum is added to even small steel concentrations, the result is an ultra-high-strength steel that will maintain structural stability when placed under pressures reaching as high as 300,000 lbs/sq. in.
