Molybdenum Sheet Metal

We are the world advanced refractory metal supplier providing high quality tungsten and molybdenum metals for over 20 years.

Molybdenum sheet metal.

Molybdenum is a refractory metal that is commonly used as high temperature corrosion resistant metal that can withstand high stress high temperature ranges without greatly softening or expanding. However there are some ways that molybdenum differs from medium hard cast iron or cold rolled steel. Flammable in the form of dust or powder below 9 microns which may ignite during intensive mechanical treatment. Molybdenum metal is available as disc granules ingot pellets pieces powder rod wire sputtering target and in numerous other forms and custom shapes.

First of all compress molybdenum powder into plate shape with isostatic pressing technology sinter under high heat to make the production into molybdenum slab and then roll. Molybdenum metal can be machined with conventional tools and equipment. Our experience and state of the art equipment our experience and state of the art equipment mean that we can get the very most out of our metals. When heated to decomposition molybdenum may emit toxic metal oxide fumes.

Molybdenum oxidizes rapidly above 1000 of in air at sea level. The molybdenum sheet with the typical thickness from 0 3 mm to 4 mm is rolled by the cold rolling of a 6 rolls reversible mill. It has a tendency to break out on the edges when cutting tools become dull it is very abrasive. Molybdenum has a melting point of 2 623 c.

As with all of our materials our sheet begins as metal powder is pressed into ingots sintered and then rolled. May have a violent reaction with oxidizing agents. Molybdenum is used for its extremely high melting point and relative flexibility. There you also find an overview of all available sheet dimensions and qualities.

The molybdenum sheet needs to be cold rolled under a low rolling reduction and consequently become easier to deform in further working processes. Sheets made of molybdenum and its alloys can be ordered directly in our online shop. Our company produce molybdenum sheet by powder metallurgy process. Elmet is a leading global provider of high quality molybdenum sheet products and the only us owned and operated producer.
