Category: Molybdenum

Molybdenum metal is a silvery white, very hard transition metal, but is softer and more ductile than tungsten. Its main characteristics are durability, strength, and resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. Molybdenum is a metal used as a raw material in order to obtain alloys, among which more resistant steel stands out. Approximately two-thirds of this metal is used for this purpose, also known as inox, with contents up to 6%.

Advanced Refractory Metals is a leading supplier of molybdenum products. We offer low pricing and great lead times on all our materials, and we’re capable of supplying custom materials per any specs/drawings you provide us with.

Applications of Molybdenum Rhenium Alloys

0 Comment

Applications of Molybdenum Rhenium Alloys So far, rhenium is the most effective element to improve the properties of molybdenum alloys. The addition of rhenium greatly reduces the plastic-brittle transition temperature of the molybdenum alloy, so that the molybdenum-rhenium alloy has good room temperature performance. At the same time, it can increase the recrystallization temperature of […]
