Molybdenum in different industries

Molybdenum is a precious and rare metal, which is related to the progress of many high-tech fields and, at the same time, involves many economic sectors, such as the iron and steel industry and the petrochemical industry. Due to its excellent properties, molybdenum is also widely used in the military, aerospace and nuclear industries and other defense and military industries. At present, most of the world's molybdenum is still used to make guns, armored vehicles and tanks and other weapons of war. As time progresses, the application of molybdenum will continue to expand, and in the future it will be highlighted as an important non-renewable strategic resource.

Molybdenum powder is an important raw material for the production of molybdenum alloys and molybdenum products, and the quality of its products directly affects the quality and performance of molybdenum processed products. Therefore, molybdenum powder preparation technology has become the key to the development of the molybdenum industry, molybdenum powder preparation process research has become a molybdenum powder manufacturers of hot spots.

Ultrafine and nanometer molybdenum powder preparation technology, mainly plasma reduction method, molybdenum chloride vapor hydrogen reduction method, molybdenum chloride pyrolysis method, molybdenum trioxide evaporation state reduction method, uniform precipitation - reduction method.

Molybdenum applications are mainly metallurgical industry, electronics industry, aerospace military industry, chemical industry and agriculture, is an important raw material and strategic materials in the national economy. In the metallurgical industry, molybdenum is mainly used as an additive for steel and non-ferrous metals. After adding molybdenum to steel, it can refine the grain, increase the grain coarsening temperature, and significantly improve the hardenability, toughness, high temperature strength and creep properties of steel. Molybdenum has stable processing performance, high melting point, high-temperature strength and hardness, better thermal conductivity and smaller coefficient of expansion, etc. It is suitable for use as a metal processing tool.

Applications of molybdenum in different industries

In the electronics industry, due to the molybdenum has good thermal and electrical conductivity, molybdenum at high temperatures with high mechanical properties, can be used to manufacture electronic tubes in the amplifier, transmitter tubes, high-voltage rectifiers and gas discharge appliances in a variety of components, cathode, cathode pillars, current leads and a variety of different shapes of electrodes, etc., can be used as a high-temperature furnace heaters, reflective panels, spacer plates, linings, trays, as well as other components, etc.; Due to the high hardness of molybdenum, in the electric power industry, it is suitable for metal processing tools. Molybdenum's high hardness, strong resistance to ablation under the action of the arc, lower prices, can be used as contact materials; molybdenum's coefficient of thermal expansion and silicon close to the rectifier can be used as a substrate material.

In the chemical industry, molybdenum can be used as operating parts and structural materials in harsh environments, as coatings and catalysts, pigments and lubricants.

In the glass ceramics industry, molybdenum can be used to replace certain uses of the platinum group of precious metals due to its high melting point and resistance to corrosion by molten glass.

Spraying industry, molybdenum powder and molybdenum alloy powder as spraying raw material powder has also been widely used.

In agriculture, ammonium molybdate, sodium molybdate, molybdenum trioxide after forging molybdenite and industrial wastes containing molybdenum can be used as fertilizers.
