Functions of Molybdenum in Other Uses

Besides making steel alloys, molybdenum is used in the chemical and lubricant industries. The element functions as a catalyst. It is used in paint pigments, smoke and flame retardants, and as corrosion inhibitors. It serves as a dry lubricant in the form of molybdenum disulfide on space vehicles, because it is resistant to high loads and temperatures.

Because of its high melting temperature, molybdenum is used in making light bulb filaments, metal-working dies, and furnace parts. For some special electrical applications, molybdenum cathodes are used. It also functions as a catalyst in certain chemical applications.
