Molybdenum price

The element molybdenum is often used in iron and nickel alloys to make them stronger. Often, when customers visit us to drop off molybdenum scrap, they bring a molybdenum alloy instead of pure molybdenum scrap. The name “molybdenum” comes from the Greek word *molybdos*, which translates to “resembling lead.”

Properties of Molybdenum

Molybdenum is known for its high melting point and good mechanical properties at high temperatures. As a result, the material is often used in alloys that must withstand extreme conditions.

In addition, molybdenum has good resistance to wear and corrosion. Because of these properties, the metal is used in industries where materials are exposed to high temperatures or heavy loads over long periods of time.
