125” molybdenum rods are primarily used in high-temperature applications. They are common in industries like aerospace, electronics, and manufacturing, where durability and heat resistance are crucial.
A 125” molybdenum rod is made of molybdenum, a high-density metal that can withstand significant heat without deforming.
These rods are produced through processes like powder metallurgy or extrusion. The molybdenum powder is compacted and sintered to create the solid rod.
Molybdenum rods offer excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, high melting points, and resistance to corrosion and wear, making them ideal for extreme conditions.
The melting point of molybdenum is around 2,623°C (4,753°F), one of the highest for any metal, which is why it's used in high-temperature environments.
Molybdenum rods can be machined, but they require special tools and conditions due to their hardness. It’s essential to use appropriate cutting speeds and feeds.
Yes, alternatives include tungsten rods and other refractory metals, although they may not offer the same balance of properties as molybdenum.
Applications include components in electrical contacts, semiconductor fabrication, and as supports in furnaces and other high-temperature equipment.
Molybdenum rods should be stored in a dry environment to prevent oxidation. Ideally, they should be kept in protective cases to minimize physical damage.
When handling molybdenum rods, wear gloves to protect against cuts, use safety goggles to safeguard against metal filings during machining, and ensure proper ventilation to avoid inhaling fine particles.
