Bright molybdenum sheet is dark brown, and it appears silver-gray metal luster if washed by alkali. The density of molybdenum sheet is basically close to the theoretical density of molybdenum after rolling and processing with the deformation reaching more than 60%. Therefore, molybdenum sheet has high strength, uniform internal structure and excellent resistance to high temperature creep, which is widely used in the production of sapphire crystal growth furnace reflection screen, cover plate, vacuum furnace reflection screen, hair belt, connectors, plasma coating sputtering target material, high temperature resistant boat dishes and other products. Molybdenum sheet is mainly used in the following industries.

Steel industry

Molybdenum is mainly used in the iron and steel industry, most of which are directly used for steelmaking or cast iron after pressing the industrial molybdenum oxide block, and a small part of which is smelted into ferromolybdenum and then used for steelmaking. Adding molybdenum to stainless steel can improve the corrosion resistance of steel while adding molybdenum to cast iron can improve the strength and wear resistance of iron.

Aerospace industry

Ni-based superalloy containing 18% molybdenum has the characteristics of high melting point, low density, and low thermal expansion coefficient, and is used for manufacturing various high-temperature components of aviation and aerospace. Molybdenum disulfide is an important lubricant used in aerospace and mechanical industries.

Electron industry

Molybdenum sheet is widely used in electronic devices such as electron tubes, transistors, and rectifiers.

Chemical industry

Molybdenum trioxide and molybdate are excellent catalysts in the chemical and petroleum industries.

Catalytic industry

Due to its unique sulfur resistance, molybdenum disulfide can catalyze the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide to produce alcohols under certain conditions. It is a promising chemical catalyst for C1.

Pharmaceuticals industry

Molybdenum is a component of many enzymes, and the lack of molybdenum can lead to dental caries, kidney stones, keshan disease, Kashin disease, esophageal cancer, and other diseases. It is mainly used in patients with chronic dependence on intravenous hypertrophy.
