MU0088 Molybdenum (Mo) Fastener (Screws, Nuts, Bolts)

Description of Molybdenum Fasteners

Pure molybdenum fasteners (Moly Fasteners) feature a melting point of 2 623°C. This property ensures operational stability in high-temperature conditions. Stanford Advanced Materials has an established record in manufacturing customisable molybdenum fasteners (including molybdenum screws, molybdenum nuts and molybdenum bolts) at competitive prices.

Properties:

1. High melting point: Molybdenum exhibits an elevated melting temperature. Consequently, molybdenum fasteners retain their structural integrity in high-temperature environments.

2. High strength: Molybdenum possesses significant strength, enabling its fasteners to perform under critical loads and stresses.

3. Corrosion resistance: Molybdenum demonstrates stability against corrosion. Consequently, its fasteners attain extended service life when used in corrosive environments.

4. High temperature resistance: Given its elevated melting point and thermal stability, molybdenum fasteners are suitable for use in high-temperature operational environments, for example in aerospace and oil refining.

5. Chemical resistance: Molybdenum retains stability in many chemical environments. Consequently, its fasteners are utilsed in the chemical industry and in specific manufacturing processes.

Specification of Molybdenum Fasteners

SAM offers a range of molybdenum fasteners that are available as molybdenum screws, molybdenum nuts and molybdenum bolts.

Molybdenum Threaded Rod

Molybdenum threaded rods withstand high temperatures and thermal evaporation in vacuum. They can be cut to various sizes and combined with washers/nuts to form customisable screws.

Molybdenum Screws

Molybdenum screws withstand high temperatures and thermal evaporation in vacuum. SAM supplies these screws in both ANSI and metric sizes, including versions with internal hex, flat and countersunk heads. Typically, screws are manufactured in standard lengths; custom lengths can be produced upon request.

Molybdenum Nut

Fire-resistant molybdenum nuts withstand high temperatures and thermal evaporation in vacuum. They are available in imperial or metric sizes and produced in various forms. Hexagonal is the most common configuration.

Molybdenum Washer

Washers made of fire-resistant molybdenum withstand high temperatures and thermal evaporation in vacuum. They are available in imperial or metric sizes and in various shapes. Their purpose is to distribute the load of threaded fasteners.

Applications of Molybdenum Fasteners

1. Aerospace industry: Given its high melting point and thermal stability, molybdenum fasteners are employed in aerospace applications, for example in engine components and other structural parts operating in high-temperature environments.

2. Electronics industry: Molybdenum fasteners are utilsed in various electronic devices, particularly in high-temperature settings during the manufacture and assembly of electronic components.

3. Chemical industry: Owing to its corrosion resistance, molybdenum fasteners are used in the chemical industry, particularly in corrosive environments to ensure stable performance and extended service life.

4. Nuclear industry: Molybdenum fasteners are also utilsed in nuclear applications, for example in power reactors, because molybdenum is resistant to radiation.

5. Manufacturing: Molybdenum fasteners are employed in production facilities and industrial machinery where materials that withstand high temperatures and corrosive conditions are required.

Packaging of Molybdenum Fasteners

The molybdenum fasteners are wrapped in foam and packaged in wooden crates. This method of packaging ensures secure storage and transport.
