Molybdenum Powder
Molybdenum (Mo) is a silvery-white shiny metal, hard but at the same time softer and more flexible than tungsten. It has an excellent resistance to corrosion, good wear and resistance to abrasion, and superior thermal and electrical properties. It is an essential element when it comes to alloys, as it enhances hardenability and persistence of tempered and destroyed steels.

Molybdenum (Mo) is a silvery-white shiny metal, hard but at the same time softer and more flexible than tungsten. It has an excellent resistance to corrosion, good wear and resistance to abrasion, and superior thermal and electrical properties. It is an essential element when it comes to alloys, as it enhances hardenability and persistence of tempered and destroyed steels.
Molybdenum powder has a black or dark gray color and it is often confused with graphite. It is primarily used for hardening of iron and steel even though it has other important applications for enhancing the performance in high temperature and aggressive environments as well. It is used as a raw material in an extensive range of applications such as hightemperature furnace heaters, spray coating materials, wires for electronics use, glass melting electrodes, rods and plates, nuclear power paint materials, and much more.
