Molybdenum is a high-strength, high-melting transition metal belonging to the group of refractory metals. In the form of pieces, briquettes or granules, the material has a silvery-gray appearance with a characteristic metallic luster. With a melting point of 2623 °C and a boiling point of 4639 °C, molybdenum is one of the most temperature-resistant industrial metals.
Molybdenum metal combines a very low coefficient of thermal expansion with high thermal conductivity. It is resistant to many chemical environments, including hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids, but can be attacked by strongly oxidizing acids such as hot concentrated sulfuric acid and nitric acid.
Molybdenum briquettes and granules are primarily produced using powder-metallurgical processes. High-purity molybdenum powder is compacted and subsequently sintered under a protective atmosphere or in vacuum. This process provides high material density, a uniform structure and a practical form for precise dosing into molten metals.
The element molybdenum is particularly important in the steel and alloy industry. Adding molybdenum can improve strength, toughness and high-temperature performance in stainless steels, tool steels and specialty alloys. Molybdenum is also widely used in nickel- and cobalt-based superalloys, foundry technology, vacuum coating and electronics.
