Material properties of molybdenum

　　High melting point:2620°C,suitable for high-temperature environments such as furnace components and rocket nozzles.

　　High strength and rigidity:maintaining good mechanical properties at high temperatures.

　　Corrosion resistance:resistant to molten metal and acid-base corrosion(used in chemical equipment).

　　Thermal/Electrical Conductivity:Suitable for electronic components such as semiconductor supports.

　　Processing difficulties:high hardness,high brittleness,requiring equipment and technology.

　　Typical application scenarios

　　Aerospace:engine blades,high-temperature structural components.

　　Semiconductor industry:wafer heaters,PVD sputtering targets.

　　Medical equipment:X-ray tube targets,radiotherapy collimators.

　　Energy sector:nuclear reactor components,thermocouple sheaths.

　　Industrial manufacturing:glass melting furnace electrodes,high-temperature molds.

　　Key points of processing technology

　　Molding technology:

　　Powder metallurgy:A commonly used sintering process for complex shapes(such as irregular parts).

　　Machining:Hard alloy or diamond cutting tools are required,with low speed and high feed to avoid cracks.

　　Wire cutting/EDM:high-precision contour machining.

　　Welding:Argon gas protection(TIG welding)is required,preheated to 300-500°C to reduce cracking.

　　Surface treatment:Nickel plating or coating enhances oxidation resistance(molybdenum is prone to oxidation above 600°C).
