Chemical properties: silver white metal or gray black powder (body centered cubic crystal). Soluble in hot concentrated nitric acid, hot concentrated sulfuric acid and aqua regia, slightly soluble in hydrochloric acid, insoluble in cold water, hot water, hydrofluoric acid and liquid ammonia.
Uses: superhard materials, cemented carbide, high temperature resistant materials, alloy contacts, powder metallurgy, welding materials, diamond tools, tungsten molybdenum crucible.
Due to its unique mechanical and chemical properties, molybdenum has become an outstanding material that can meet the most stringent requirements. It has the advantages of high melting point, low coefficient of thermal expansion and good thermal conductivity, so it is widely used in many different industrial fields. Molybdenum can be called a "versatile hand" in special materials. Its wide applications include: the production of material strips and filaments for lighting industry, semiconductor soleplates for power electronics industry, glass melt electrodes and hot zones of high-temperature furnaces, and sputtered palladium materials for solar cells and flat panel displays.
