Molybdenum is a silver-white, high-melting, brittle heavy metal with excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.

As a heavy metal, molybdenum belongs to the refractory metals due to its melting point of 2623 °C. It has high hardness and ductility. Molybdenum is very valuable as an alloying element because it can increase hot strength, tensile strength, or hardness in alloys.

It also increases fatigue strength, cutting edge retention, and through-hardening. At the same time, it reduces temper brittleness, ductility, and forgeability.

Pure molybdenum is very similar to tungsten and can be processed more easily due to its low hardness and density.

The industries in which molybdenum is frequently used are diverse. It is used as an alloy metal for electrodes, steel, X-ray and transmitter tubes, or wear layers. It is characterized by excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and a high melting point. In aerospace technology, molybdenum cannot be used.

Properties of molybdenum:

• high melting point
• good strength
• mechanical strength at high temperatures
• low thermal expansion

Main applications of molybdenum:

• high-temperature heating elements
• shields;
• filaments
• rocket propulsion systems
• heat protection tubes
• welding electrodes
