Molybdenum rod & bar can be manufactured into wire, electrode, steel-making additives, electric vacuum parts, gas pipes, lead-wire, pole, sidebars, daily-use glass, optical glass, insulation material, and glass fiber. Small crucibles and tubes are machined from Moly rods.
Molybdenum rods and bars offer high strength, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance. Ideal for furnace parts, electrodes, aerospace components, and machining, they perform reliably in extreme temperatures and demanding industrial environments.
Available in various diameters and lengths, molybdenum rods and bars are typically produced through powder metallurgy or vacuum arc melting processes, ensuring high density and purity. The material's unique combination of properties - including low thermal expansion, good electrical conductivity, and resistance to molten metals - makes it indispensable for critical applications across multiple industries.
Surface finishes range from forged black to ground/polished, with optional machining into custom shapes and sizes.
We carry a full line of standard rods and bars. Apart from this, our moly bars and moly rods are available in various dimensions upon your request.

High-Temperature Furnaces - Used as heating components and supports in extremely high-temperature service.
Aerospace - Needed for rocket nozzle and turbine hardware due to heat resistance.
Glass Production - Used as durable electrodes and stirrers in molten glass processing.
Semiconductors - Provides high-purity sputtering targets for thin-film deposition.
Medical Devices - Used in X-ray tubes and radiation shielding for reliable operation.
Nuclear Applications - Ideal for reactor hardware due to low neutron absorption.
Types and Uses of Molybdenum Rod
Molybdenum rods come in various forms, including:
Pure molybdenum rods – for general high-temperature use.
TZM alloy rods (Titanium-Zirconium-Molybdenum) – offer higher strength and creep resistance.
Mo-La rods (Molybdenum-Lanthanum) – enhanced ductility and performance in extreme environments.
Our moly rods and moly bars are carefully handled to minimize damage during storage and transportation and to preserve the quality of our products in their original condition.
