Molybdenum and Molybdenum‐Based Alloy Powder Description
Molybdenum‐based spray powders provide a low friction coefficient, resistance against wear and adequate ductility. They are used in the automotive industry for the manufacture of engine pistons and synchronising rings. The application of a molybdenum‐based coating reduces friction and wear in the cylinder bore generated by the reciprocating movement of the piston ring.

Applications of Molybdenum and Molybdenum‐Based Alloy Powders
Molybdenum and molybdenum‐based alloy powders demonstrate resistance to corrosion, oxidation and high temperatures, and reduce both abrasive and adhesive wear. They are employed in various processes, consequently:
- Oxyacetylene spraying or deposition
- HVOF/HAFA spraying
- Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) overlay
- Plasma spraying
- Laser cladding
- Induction melting overlay
- Centrifugal casting
- 3D printing and powder metallurgy processing
Molybdenum and Molybdenum‐Based Alloy Powder - Packaging
Molybdenum and molybdenum‐based alloy powders are typically packed in vacuum aluminium foil bags or filled with inert gas (Ar). They are supplied in the following packaging options:
- 500 g per bag
- 20 kg per metal can
- 100 kg and above per steel drum, or as specified by the customer
All packaging materials are approved for air, sea and road freight.
