Micro Molybdenum Powder Description
Micro Molybdenum Powder is a fine, metallic powder composed primarily of molybdenum, known for its exceptional properties and versatility in various applications. This powder exhibits high melting points, typically above 2,600°C, which makes it suitable for high-temperature applications. Its excellent electrical conductivity and thermal resistance allow it to be used in electrical contacts and heating elements.
In addition, Micro Molybdenum Powder has notable strength and hardness, which enhance its performance in structural applications, particularly in the aerospace and automotive industries. Its resistance to corrosion and oxidation further extends its lifespan in harsh environments. The fine particle size of this powder also allows for improved sintering and densification, making it ideal for manufacturing advanced materials, including superalloys and composite materials. Micro Molybdenum Powder is crucial in many high-performance applications, contributing to enhanced durability and efficiency.

FAQs
Q1: How is Micro Molybdenum Powder produced?
A1: Micro Molybdenum powder is produced through several processes, including atomization and hydrogen reduction of molybdenum trioxide (MoO₃). These processes result in a fine, high-purity powder that can be used in various applications. The powder is then classified by particle size and purity for different uses.
Q2: Is Micro Molybdenum Powder toxic?
A2: Micro Molybdenum powder is not classified as highly toxic; however, as with any fine powder, inhaling dust particles should be avoided. It is recommended to handle the powder with proper protective equipment, such as gloves and dust masks. Ensure proper ventilation when handling larger quantities of powder.
Q3: How should Micro Molybdenum Powder be stored?
A3: Micro Molybdenum powder should be stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated environment. It should be kept in airtight containers to prevent contamination and oxidation. Avoid exposure to moisture, as this can degrade the powder's performance.
