Uses of molybdenum

Molybdenum is a silvery-white metal that is hard and tough. It is an essential trace element for humans, plants and animals. Various tissues of the human body contain molybdenum, the total amount in the adult body is 9mg, and the content in the liver and kidney is the highest.

1, used in the iron and steel industry, most of which is industrial molybdenum oxide briquettes directly used in steelmaking or cast iron, a small portion of molybdenum melted into iron; molybdenum added to cast iron, can improve the strength of iron and wear resistance.

2, containing molybdenum 18% of nickel-based superalloys with high melting point, low density and thermal expansion coefficient of small and other characteristics, used in the manufacture of aviation and aerospace of various high-temperature components.

3,Molybdenum metal is widely used in electronic devices such as electronic tubes, transistors and rectifiers.

4,Molybdenum is one of the essential trace elements for plants and is used as a trace element fertilizer in agriculture.

5, molybdenum in the electronics industry has the potential to replace graphene:

California Nanotechnology Institute (referred to as CNSI) successfully used MoS2 (molybdenum pyroxene, molybdenum disulfide) to create a molybdenum pyroxene-based flexible microprocessor chip, this MoS2-based microchip is only equivalent to the size of the silicon-based chip of 20%, power consumption is extremely low, molybdenum pyroxene made of transistors in standby mode for the silicon transistor of one hundred thousand percent of the power consumption, and cheaper than the same size of graphene circuits! ! And the biggest change is that its circuit has a strong flexibility, extremely thin, can be attached to the human skin above.

5, pure molybdenum wire is used in high-temperature furnaces and EDM and wire-cutting processing.

6, molybdenum sheet used to manufacture radio equipment and X-ray equipment

7, used in the manufacture of weapons and equipment, modern high-precision, sophisticated equipment on the material requirements, such as molybdenum and tungsten, chromium, vanadium alloys used in the manufacture of warships, rockets, satellites, alloy components and parts.

8, molybdenum in the thin film solar energy and other coating industry, as a substrate for different film surfaces are also widely used.
