This article, we will talk about properties and applications of molybdenum.

The properties of molybdenum is similar to that of tungsten. Molybdenum has outstanding boiling point and electrical conductivity and small coefficient of linear thermal expansion. Molybdenum is easier to be processed than tungsten. While the high temperature oxidation resistance is bad and ductility in room temperature is not good.

From the world consumption structure, molybdenum is often used with iron. The 80% demand of molybdenum in the western developed countries comes from iron and steel. The other 20%
molybdenum is used in molybdenum chemical products, molybdenum lubricants and petroleum refining, etc..

In additon, molybdenum alloy has been widely used in electronic, metal processing and aerospace industry. For example, TZM alloy is one of molybdenum alloys. TZM alloy is used for jet tube of flying vehicle and a variety of components of high inlet temperature, high pressure turbine engine, such as hot gas seals and valves, turbine wheels or wheel blades.
Nowadays, molybdenum also has many other usages some new applications.

All above are some properties and applications of molybdenum.
