Molybdenum and molybdenum-based alloys

They account for about 6% of the world's total molybdenum consumption. Molybdenum's high melting and boiling points, good high-temperature strength, resistance to friction and corrosion, large thermal conductivity, small coefficient of thermal expansion, and good hardenability make it widely used in the fields of aerospace, weaponry, electronics, and chemicals.

Recovery of satellite re-entry into the atmosphere, must overcome the hot air flow wash. Therefore, it is required to withstand vibration, shock, vacuum, radiation and temperature alternating environment, molybdenum-based alloys are commonly used to make the satellite recovery capsule stabilizing skirt skin. tzm molybdenum alloy is also used in the production of cosmic rockets or space shuttles, solid fuel rocket engine nozzle, the rocket nose cone, the front edge of the vehicle, the rudder, the anti-heat screen, honeycomb structure, and so on.
