Description:
Molybdenum wires are thin, flexible strands made from pure molybdenum metal. Molybdenum is a refractory metal known for its unique properties and wide range of applications. Here are some descriptions of molybdenum wires:
High melting point: Molybdenum wires have an exceptionally high melting point of approximately 2,620 degrees Celsius (4,748 degrees Fahrenheit). This property allows them to withstand extreme temperatures without melting or deforming, making them suitable for high-temperature applications.
Excellent strength and ductility: Molybdenum wires exhibit excellent tensile strength and ductility. They can be drawn into very fine diameters while maintaining their structural integrity, making them ideal for applications that require thin and flexible components, such as in lighting filaments, electrical contacts, and heating elements.
Good thermal and electrical conductivity: Molybdenum wires have good thermal and electrical conductivity. They can efficiently conduct heat and electricity, making them suitable for applications that require both thermal and electrical performance, such as in electronic devices, furnace heating elements, and high-temperature thermocouples.
