About Molybdenum (Mo)

Symbol: Mo
Atomic number: 42
Atomic weight: 95.95
Element category: transition metal
Molybdenum metal is a silvery white, very hard transition metal, but it is softer and more ductile than tungsten. Molybdenum exhibits excellent creep resistance, low resistivity, high corrosion resistance, high thermal conductivity, and low thermal expansion.
Molybdenum (Mo) is primarily used as an alloying agent in steel, cast iron, and super alloys to enhance hardenability, strength, toughness, and wear and corrosion resistance. Molybdenum is also widely employed in the furnace industry for radiation screens, elements, and sintering trays.
Other applications of molybdenum include its compounds in chemical processes. For instance, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) functions as a solid lubricant and a high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) antiwear agent. Molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) is utilised as an adhesive between enamels and metals.
