Molybdenum Powder Description
Molybdenum (Mo) is a gray metal known for its extremely high melting point. It occurs in various oxidation states within minerals but is not found naturally as a free metal. Molybdenum is renowned for its strength and stability under high-heat conditions. It is commonly alloyed with other elements to enhance corrosion resistance and maintain strength at elevated temperatures. Therefore, molybdenum is widely used in the production of steel alloys, high-strength alloys, and superalloys.
Molybdenum powder, characterized by its uniform gray color and lack of visible mechanical impurities, is typically produced using ammonium paramolybdate or calcined MoO3 as raw materials, which are then reduced with hydrogen. This powder serves as the primary material for producing advanced molybdenum products through powder metallurgy.
