A Small Amount of Molybdenum Has a Big Impact

Molybdenum is an essential trace element for human, animal and plant life.  It is essential for nitrogen fixation in plants and for the metabolism of amino acids in humans and animals. Some soils require supplemental molybdenum to promote healthy plant life and, for some animals added dietary molybdenum stimulates growth.

Additions of only 0.1 per cent to 0.5 per cent of molybdenum are typically present in high strength low alloy steels, rising to 1 to 6 per cent in stainless steels.  Superalloys have higher contents of molybdenum, but from the trace amounts needed in biology to those needed to enhance the performance of alloys, it is clear that a little molybdenum goes a very long way.
