Molybdenum Metal and Alloys

Molybdenum (Mo) is used principally as an alloying agent in steel, cast iron, and superalloys to reinforce hardenability, strength, toughness, and wear and corrosion resistance. To realize desired metallurgical properties, molybdenum, primarily within the sort of molybdic oxide or ferromolybdenum, is usually utilized in combination with or added to chromium, niobium, nickel, tungsten, manganese, niobium, nickel, tungsten, or other alloy metals. The flexibility of molybdenum in enhancing a spread of alloy properties has ensured a big role in contemporary industrial technology, which increasingly requires materials that are serviceable under high stress, expanded temperature ranges, and highly corrosive environments. Besides, as a refractory metal, molybdenum also finds significant usage in many chemical applications, including lubricants, catalysts, and pigments.

Molybdenum Mechanical Properties

Molybdenum distinguishes itself with those unique properties: high melting point, high creep resistance, and low thermal expansion. The properties of the pure molybdenum could also be improved by alloying.

Molybdenum Chemical Properties

Molybdenum has extremely good resistance to corrosion by numerous acids, liquid metals, and molten glass, provided oxidizing agents are not present. Molybdenum is relatively inert in hydrogen, ammonia, and nitrogen up to about 1100°C.
