Properties of molybdenum

Molybdenum is a refractory metal, usually used at high temperatures. Its operational properties include:

• Low coefficient of thermal expansion (5.1x10−6 m / m / ° C), which is about half that of most steels;

• Good thermal conductivity;

• Good electrical conductivity;

• Good stiffness, which is higher than that for steel (molybdenum modulus is 317 GPa);

• High melting point (2615 ° C);

• Good strength;

• Good strength and ductility at room temperature;

• High density (10,200 kg / m ³).

The ability of a given metal to withstand high temperatures and maintain strength under these conditions is the reason that molybdenum finds the predominant part of its applications at elevated temperatures. In fact, it can operate at temperatures above 1100 ° C (in non-oxidizing media), which is higher than the steel and most nickel-based alloys.

If the temperature rises above 760 ° C in air, rapid oxidation can occur. Under these conditions, the oxide layer and the base metal begin to form on the surface of the metal. Thus, molybdenum works best in an inert environment.

Supplier — the company AvecGlob — offers at affordable prices from the manufacturer in a wide range of brands and profiles. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer.

Industries of molybdenum application

• Alloying agent, which promotes hardening,

hardened / hardened steels. Molybdenum also improves the strength of steels at high temperatures (red hardness);

• In nickel-base alloys (such as Hastelloys®) and stainless steels, molybdenum imparts heat resistance and corrosion resistance to reactive media;

• Electrodes for glass furnaces with electric heating;

• Nuclear power engineering and rocket engineering (production of profile equipment, which, in its operation, requires increased heat resistance);

• As a catalyst in the refining of petroleum;

• As an incandescent material in electronic / electrical applications;

• As support elements in radio tubes and incandescent lamps;

• Arc-proof electrical contacts;

• Thermocouple shells;

• Fire-resistant and corrosion-resistant surface coatings for other metals;

Use of molybdenum in compounds

• Molybdenum sulphide because of its high thermal resistance is used as a high-temperature lubricant;

• Molybdate sodium (Na ₂ MoO ₄) in anhydrous form is used as a dry powdered fertilizer;

• Calcium molybdate (CaMoO ₄), prayer, molybdenum oxide, molybdenum chromium are used in metallurgical production.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers to purchase a wide range of brands of different types of molybdenum profiles. Products can be bought at a price formed on the basis of European and world standards of production. Implementation is possible in bulk and retail, for regular customers, a flexible system of discounts operates.
