Brief Introduction to Molybdenum Steel , 2013 - I

molybdenum steelMolybdenum steel is a high-strength alloy used across a variety of industries. Steel alloys made with molybdenum are not only stronger and harder, they also are highly resistant to heat and corrosion. Electronics, heavy machine parts, tools and aircraft parts are often made with steel alloys that contain molybdenum.

The unique properties of molybdenum make it useful in steel alloys. Molybdenum is highly heat resistant and can withstand extremely high temperatures, with an exceptionally high melting temperature, and it also is an excellent thermal conductor. Alloys of molybdenum steel retain their strength when heated and are less likely to expand, soften or become deformed. Tools and parts exposed to extreme friction are often made from these alloys.

Steel made with molybdenum have other advantages as well. Molybdenum steel is highly resistant to corrosion and is used in stainless steel alloys for greater protection. The alloy is also easy to weld, making it especially versatile. It is only slightly more dense than iron and much lighter than tungsten, meaning that molybdenum can provide strength without dramatic increases in weight.
