Carbon steel is widely used around the globe for the construction of bridges of sizes ranging from the very large to the very small, but now many bridges around the world are approaching the end of their useful life because carbon steel bridges do not have the corrosion resistance benefits offered by chromium, molybdenum and other alloying elements. The forward-looking design of the Soderstrom Bridge with duplex stainless steel highlights the benefits of building bridges from structural stainless steel in…

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a naturally occurring black solid compound that is slippery to the touch. It transfers easily and adheres to other solid surfaces it comes in contact with. Its mineral form — called molybdenite — was often confused with graphite until the late 1700s. Both have been used for lubricating and writing materials for centuries. So, what are the excellent properties of MoS2 in high temperature grease? 1)it can improve the bearing capacity of the grease and make…
According to the customs data collated through China Tungsten online survey, the import volume of molybdenum products in China from January to May 2022 totaled 12806.91 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 62.59%; The accumulated import amount was 1503621200 CNY, a year-on-year decrease of 38.62%. From January to May, China imported 980.00 tons of roasted molybdenum ore and its concentrate, a year-on-year decrease of 86.03%; Other molybdenum ores and concentrates were 9588.12 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 57.71%; Molybdenum oxide and…
What is molybdenum foil? Normally, a plate with thickness less than 0.1mm will be called foil. It is lightweight and flexible, and is produced by powder metallurgy with purity more than 99.95%. Chinatungsten Online has sophisticated production equipment, which can produce moly foil according to the thickness, surface condition and tolerance required by customers. Mo foil applications Molybdenum can withstand extremely high temperatures without significantly changing, expanding or softening. This ability makes its engagement in high temperature situations very useful.…
Crystal growth is the foundation of many cutting-edge technologies such as sapphire touchscreens, LED lighting components, solar cells and high-power lasers. Corrosion resistance, creep resistance and high temperature properties enable tungsten and molybdenum crucibles to be used for high temperature sapphire crystal growth processes. Crucibles made of tungsten and molybdenum materials perform well in the heat exchanger method (HEM) process for melting and solidification of single crystals. Better sapphire yield and quality can be achieved when the sapphire is easy…
Molybdenum is a refractory metal known for its excellent strength at high temperatures, high melting point of 2610 ℃, and high corrosion resistance. This high melting point makes molybdenum ideal for use as evaporation boats or crucibles, and for processing nuclear fuel pellets at temperatures up to 1650°C. products made of molybdenum are durable enough to withstand repeated rough handling. Molybdenum will not oxidize to any significant degree below 400 ℃ in air or an oxygen-containing atmosphere. At 400 ℃…
Molybdenum foil means thickness ranging from 0.002mm to 0.1mm, which is manufactured by cold rolling molybdenum sheet to a lower thickness. The typical thickness is 0.03mm to 0.1mm which is cold rolled by 20 rolls reversible mill. Normally, 0.01mm thickness is rarely found in the market and the MOQ for customized size is 3kgs. Molybdenum has a melting point of 2,623 °C, and has high modulus of elasticity. It is very popular because of its extremely high melting point and…
Molybdenum is a lustrous silver metal found in the earth’s crust at 1.5 ppm. In many cases, it is very similar to tungsten, which is often paired with tungsten in the transition series of the periodic table, but their chemistry often exhibits more pronounced differences than expected. The metal can withstand extremely high temperatures without significantly changing, expanding or softening. This ability makes its engagement in high temperature situations very useful. Typical applications of molybdenum are various, such as crucibles,…
What are applications of plastic in daily life? 1,General purpose plastics: large output, wide application, good formability and low price. Widely used in daily necessities, packaging materials and small mechanical parts. Its output accounts for about 90% of the world’s total plastics, also known as bulk plastics, most of which are thermoplastics. 2,Special plastics: plastics with special properties in a certain aspect used in special environments, also known as dingal plastics, such as medical plastics, magnetically conductive plastics, thermally conductive…
Controlling heat dissipation in sealed equipment housing electronic components is a major challenge in the electronics industry. Molybdenum copper and tungsten copper composite materials are engineered through wrought powder technology to provide higher thermal conductivity and highly controllable thermal expansion, so as to meet the requirements of the applications. Key applications for molybdenum copper materials include heat sink materials, bases, substrates, heat sinks, machined components and material blanks. Among them, molybdenum copper heat sinks are widely used in microwave carriers,…
