Non-Ferrous Molybdenum Rod Corrosion-Resistant
Molybdenum Rod Application
Lighting. molybdenum has been used extensively as the filament in traditional incandescent light bulbs. Due to low energy
efficiency, high heat generation, and short service life, these light bulbs have been gradually replaced by fluorescent and lately by LED lights.
Furnace parts and High-temperature alloys. Due to high melting points and high strength, molybdenum and its alloys are used in many high-temperature applications, such as arc-welding electrodes, heating elements and shields in high-temperature vacuum furnaces, and turbine blades in generators and aircraft engines.
X-ray targets. molybdenum is the most used target material in x-ray generation. Molybdenum has a high atomic number which increases the intensity of the x-rays at a set of voltage and current. Its high melting point also allows the x-ray anode to become white hot.

Properties of Molybdenum Rod
*If the diameter is <0.125”, please check our Molybdenum wire.
Molybdenum rod and molybdenum bar are formed by sintering molybdenum powder. Molybdenum rod has a high melting point, good thermal conductivity, and low thermal expansion performance. It can be used to manufacture electric vacuum devices and electric light source parts, and can also be used as high-temperature heating elements, high-temperature structural parts, electrodes, etc.
Please view the molybdenum rod to see our standard sizes of round bars. The above are most of the standard sizes of our molybdenum rectangular bars. If you do not see the size of the molybdenum bar that you require, please feel free to contact us.
Molybdenum Rod Surface
Cleaned: The surface is chemically cleaned to remove all lubricants and oxides.
Black: The surface is either as swaged or as drawn and retains a coating of processing lubricants and oxides.
