Molybdenum By Zoom Welddaids

These Molybdenum is a refractory metal typically used in high temperature applications. Key properties include:
Low co-efficient of thermal expansion (5.1x10-6 m/m/A C) which is about half that of most steels
Good thermal conductivity
Good electrical conductivity
Good stiffness, greater then that of steel (Younga s Modulus 317MPa)
High melting point (2615A C)
Good hot strength
Good strength and ductility at room temperature
High density (10.2 g/cm3)
Its ability to withstand high temperatures and maintain strength under these conditions are responsible for the fact that molybdenum finds most of its application at elevated temperatures. In fact, it can work at temperatures above 1100A C (in non-oxidising conditions), which is higher than steels and nickel-based super alloys.
