MOLYBDENUM ROD

A molybdenum rod is a cylindrical component made from the refractory metal molybdenum, a silvery-gray material known for its extremely high melting point (2623 C). Its exceptional strength and thermal stability make it ideal for high-temperature applications, such as heating elements in vacuum furnaces. Molybdenum rods also offer excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, low thermal expansion, and resistance to corrosion. They are used in lighting, electronics, aerospace, and medical fields for components like electrodes, supports, and shields. Molybdenum rods are available in various purities and surface finishes, including black, cleaned, and polished.A shiny, silvery metal. Molybdenum has a very high melting point so it is produced and sold as a grey powder. Many molybdenum items are formed by compressing the powder at a very high pressure.
