Molybdenum Sheet&Plate

The melting point of molybdenum is 2620°C. Because of the strong bonding force between atoms, it has high strength at room temperature and high temperature. It has a small expansion coefficient, high electrical conductivity, and good thermal conductivity. It does not react with alkali solutions at room temperature, and only dissolves in nitric acid or concentrated sulfuric acid. It is also suitable and stable for most liquid metals, non-metal slags, and molten glass. Therefore, molybdenum and its alloys have a wide range of applications and outstanding prospects in important parts of metallurgy, agriculture, the electrical, chemical industry, environmental protection, and aerospace.

Pressure processing for producing molybdenum rods, molybdenum wires, and molybdenum strips from sintered dense molybdenum bars is a typical process consisting of swaging and drawing. In order to improve the quality and productivity of molybdenum processed materials, expand product varieties and specifications, and reduce processing costs, rolling has been used instead of swaging. In order to improve the pressure processing type of molybdenum, dense molybdenum strips require high purity, high density, and fine and uniform grain size. Molybdenum bars produced by powder metallurgy generally have these conditions, while molybdenum products produced by vacuum melting have high purity, but generally have a coarse-grained structure, which needs to be extruded at 1400-1700°C to make the grains finer. After that, forging, wire drawing, and rolling are performed. The dense molybdenum rods (rods) obtained by powder metallurgy or after vacuum melting and extrusion are processed into various specifications of rods or wires, strips, and dense ingots by rotary forging (or rolling) and drawing. Or the slab can be rolled and processed into various specifications of molybdenum plates, foils, and other products.

Molybdenum plates because of their high temperature, and corrosion-resistant characteristics, have the following purposes: sapphire growth lid plate, heating zone, a high-temperature furnace heating element, and a high-temperature furnace insulation core layer. Furthermore, molybdenum also has good electrical conductivity, making it a suitable reflector material (halogen car) and molybdenum electrodes. Molybdenum sheets/plates there are other common uses, such as in the medical industry, crystal production, aviation, aerospace, nuclear, and missiles.
