The most important uses of molybdenum
The most important use of molybdenum is to refine alloy steel.
Because molybdenum can reduce the eutectic decomposition temperature of steel and expand the quenching temperature range of steel, it will never affect the quenching and hardening depth of steel.
Molybdenum is often used in conjunction with other elements such as chromium, nickel, vanadium, etc. to give steel a uniform crystal structure and improve the strength, elasticity, wear resistance and impact strength of steel.
Molybdenum is widely used in refining structural steel, spring steel, bearing steel, tool steel, stainless steel, heat-resistant steel and magnetic steel.
In addition, molybdenum is used in alloy cast iron to reduce the particle size of gray cast iron, improve the high-temperature properties of gray cast iron, and improve its wear resistance.
