High-Temperature Metal with Excellent Formability

Molybdenum offers a high melting point and exceptional mechanical strength at extreme temperatures. Unlike tungsten, it can be formed more easily at lower temperatures, making it simpler to process. Its low thermal expansion ensures dimensional accuracy even in demanding environments.

Typical applications include the glass industry, furnace components, and high-temperature process technology where both dimensional stability and workability are critical.
