Today we will learn about basic knowledge about molybdenum from the following several aspects: molybdenum definition, molybdenum applications, molybdenum storage volume and molybdenum ore deposit.

What is molybdenum:

Molybdenum is a metallic element and usually be used as additives for alloy and stainless steel. Molybdenum not only can enhance intensity, hardness, weldability and toughness of alloys, but also can enhance high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of alloys.

Molybdenum applications:
Molybdenum is mainly applied to iron and steel field. Because of molybdenum itself having multiple characteristics, which makes molybdenum is widely applied in other alloy field and chemical field.
Molybdenum compound owns low toxicity, which is one of striking features that molybdenum has.

Molybdenum storage volume:
Molybdenum never exists as natural element and it is always together  with other elements. Molybdenite (MoS2) - a natural molybdenum sulfide has the only industrial exploitation value.
In the world, molybdenum resources are mainly distributed in western mountainous area of North and South America. The United States is the world's largest country that reserves and products molybdenum. Its molybdenum storage volume accounts for almost half of the total global molybdenum reserves.

Molybdenum ore deposit:
Molybdenum ore deposit can be divided into the following three types:
Molybdenum ore, and it is mainly from molybdenite concentrate;

Secondary molybdenum ore, and it is separated from copper;

Symbiosis molybdenum ore, and molybdenum and copper have the same mining industry value in this molybdenum ore.
We learn the basic knowledge about molybdenum from 4 aspects and hope you obtain useful knowledge from these information.

Zhengzhou Sanhui Co., Ltd provides various molybdenum products, like molybdenum nozzle. We hope to cooperate with more customers for mutual development and benefits.
