Molybdenum (Mo)
- Description
Description
Molybdenum (Mo) is silver-gray refractory metal. Most molybdenum is used to make alloys such as steel alloys to increase strength, hardness, electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion and wear. These ‘moly steel’ alloys are used in parts of engines as well as used in heating elements, drills and saw blades.
It is also used as a catalyst in the refining of petroleum. It has used as a filament material in electronic and electrical applications. It is frequently used in the electronics industry for semiconductors and for thermal heat sinks as well as Chemical Vapor Deposition in semiconductor industry.
