Molybdenum Trioxide Powder Description
Molybdenum (Mo) is a metal with a gray color that has a very high melting point. Molybdenum occurs in numerous oxidation states in minerals but is not native as a free metal. Molybdenum is also renowned for its strength and stability in high-temperature conditions. Molybdenum is usually combined with other compounds with the aim of adding corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength. Molybdenum is thus widely used for manufacturing steel alloys, high-strength alloys, and superalloys. Molybdenum compounds are usually less soluble in water. Molybdenum compounds are used industrially for high-temperature and high-pressure applications like catalysts and pigments.
Molybdenum Trioxide Powder is alkaline-light yellow powder and it is soluble in more than alkali, while it is sparingly soluble in water. Molybdenum Trioxide Powder is used for producing molybdenum powder, additives, pigments, and catalysts.
