Short answer: Molybdenum is a refractory metal with a melting point of about 2623 C and high strength retained at temperature, so it serves furnace parts, electrodes, dies and as an alloy addition to steel and superalloys, usually supplied as pure molybdenum or TZM alloy with certificate, and it complements the tungsten and cobalt guides for high-heat duty.
At a Glance
What Molybdenum Is
Molybdenum keeps strength at heat, with the refractory basis in our Nickel Alloy Grades Guide; the strength basis is in our Metal Strength Comparison.
Properties and Use
Molybdenum serves furnaces, electrodes and dies and TZM adds strength, with hardness detail in our Hardness Comparison and the tool context in our Alloy Steel Supplier; corrosion notes are in our Corrosion Resistance Guide.
Fabrication
Molybdenum is machined and can be welded in inert gas, with machining in our Machining Guide and joining in our Welding Joining Guide; finish is in our Surface Treatment Guide.
Quality and Sourcing
Refractory stock is checked by inspection, with methods in our Quality Inspection Guide; buyers confirm grade via our Mill Test Certificate Guide and pack per our Export Packing Guide.
