Molybdenum wire

Molybdenum Wire Manufacturer & Supplier

We are engaged in offering a broad array of high-quality Molybdenum wire. We produce molybdenum wire for several applications. The word “molybdenum” comes from the Ancient Greek word molybdos, which means “molybdenum.” The ability of molybdenum to endure high temperatures without expanding or melting is helpful in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
Molybdenum wire is occasionally used instead of tungsten wire due to its lower density. Molybdenum wire, on the other hand, has a high weight-to-strength ratio.
Molybdenum Wire
Molybdenum wire is widely used to make structural support parts, even at very high temperatures. It’s commonly used for furnace components, including heating elements, outlets, and windings, for example. Molybdenum wire is suited for high-temperature furnaces with hydrogen or vacuum atmospheres due to its high melting point.

Molybdenum wire is also utilized in light bulbs as a component. It can be used to make filament supports for tungsten lamps, halogen lamp bulb leads, and electrodes for gas discharge lamps and tubes. This type of wire is also seen in airplane windshields, where it acts as a defrosting heating source. Molybdenum wire is also used to make electron tubes and power tube grids.
The wire’s surface could be uncoated or coated. Coated wire is black because it is covered with oxides and lubricants. The tensile strength of wire is essential in manufacturing, and it also affects the appearance of the wire: the higher the tensile strength, the less straight the wire will be. This silvery metal has the sixth-highest melting point of all metals. The melting points of tungsten and rhenium, for example, are higher. Molybdenum, sometimes known as moly, is a chemical element with the symbol Mo and the atomic number 42. Copper wire has around a third of the electrical and thermal conductivity of molybdenum wire.

Molybdenum Wire Uses

  • Molybdenum wire is utilized in airplane windshields as a heating element for defrosting purposes; it is also used to manufacture electron tubes and power tube grids.
  • Molybdenum wire is used in wire cutting to cut virtually all conductive materials, including steel, aluminum, brass, titanium, and other alloys and superalloys.
  • Pure molybdenum wire is extremely pure and has a black-gray surface. It turns white molybdenum wire after alkaline washing.
  • High-temperature molybdenum wire incorporates the rare earth element lanthanum based on pure molybdenum. When molybdenum is heated above its recrystallization temperature and treated, the alloy develops an interlocking grain structure that aids in sagging resistance and structural stability.
  • Molybdenum wire sprayed on the surface is mainly utilized for wear-prone automotive components such as piston rings, gearbox synchronization components, and gear selector forks. A thin coating layer is created on the work surface, which provides excellent lubrication and wears resistance for vehicles and parts subjected to high mechanical stresses.
  • Due to its high electrical conductivity, it is frequently utilized as a component in light bulbs. It can be used to make tungsten filament holders, lead wires for halogen bulbs, and electrodes for gas discharge lamps and tubes, among other things.
  • As a result, it is frequently used in high-temperature structural materials such as printing pins, nuts, screws, halogen lamp holders, high-temperature furnace heating components, and lead wires for quartz and high-temperature ceramics.
