High Grade Molybdenum Flat

Molybdenum (Mo) is the first choice for managing challenging thermal applications because of high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion and mechanical strengths at elevated temperatures applied in vacuum/inert furnaces, as well as heat sinks for electronic chips. Additionally, molybdenuma s good electrical properties have resulted in application in microelectronics as thin film transistor in flat panel displays and electrode for photovoltaic. The largest worldwide application of molybdenum is as an alloying element for Tool Steels and High Strength Low Alloy steels, along with Stainless Steels for increasing anti-corrosive properties.Molybdenum is the most commonly used of the refractory metals, a class of elements known for their exceptional mechanical strength and very high melting points. Pure molybdenum is a dense silver-white metal with a melting point of 2622 C.1 As well as a high melting point, molybdenum boasts a number of other desirable properties including corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity and a useful linear expansion coefficient over a wide temperature range.

Molybdenum and its alloys are highly versatile and can be processed via a range of techniques, including additive manufacturing, powder metallurgy, arc melting, electron beam melting, extrusion, forging and hot and cold rolling.

This makes it a desirable engineering material. Molybdenum can be used in its pure form, and is also commonly combined with other materials such as copper and titanium to form a range of high-performance materials.
