Molybdenum is a metallic element and is a silvery-white, soft substance. The primary uses of molybdenum are as an addition to construction steels and irons, as a catalyst, as a pigment and as a flame retardant. When molybdenum is alloyed with steel, it makes the steel stronger and more heat-resistant. It is derived from the mineral molybdenite, which is mined in the southwestern United States, China, Chile, Russia and Mongolia.
The most significant of the uses of molybdenum is as an additive in steel and iron alloys. The addition of molybdenum improves the strength of steel and iron, reduces cracking and enables the metals to better withstand higher temperatures. In the early 21st century, about half of all mined molybdenum was used for iron and steel alloys in construction, tools, auto parts and steam turbines.
