Molybdenum

Molybdenum is a chemical element with the symbol Mo. 

Molybdenum material is a silvery metal with a grey cast which has a very high melting point. Because molybdenum possesses a very high melting point, a low coefficient of thermal expansion and a high level of thermal conductivity, it is used in many different industries.

Most molybdenum compounds have low solubility in water, but when molybdenum-bearing minerals contact oxygen and water.

The following industries use Molybdenum:

  • Vacuum Furnaces
  • Electronics
  • Aerospace
