Molybdenum and Tungsten Products

Molybdenum Products and Typical Specifications

Molybdenum can withstand extreme temperatures and keep its strength and stiffness at high temperatures. The melting point of Molybdenum is 2623°C.

The ability of molybdenum to withstand extreme temperatures without significantly expanding or softening makes it useful in applications that involve intense heat, including the manufacture of aircraft parts, electrical contacts, industrial motors, and filaments. Molybdenum is also used in alloys for its high corrosion resistance and weld ability. Most high-strength steel alloys are .25% to 8% molybdenum. Despite being used in such small portions, more than 43 million kg of molybdenum is used as an alloying agent each year in stainless steels, tool steels, cast irons, and high-temperature superalloys.
