Molybdenum sheet is a transition metal material with high melting point, high density, good thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. It is also a typical product of refractory metal molybdenum.
These characteristics make molybdenum sheet widely used in many fields and are an important industrial material. Its uses include:
- Vacuum furnace industry:
In vacuum furnaces, molybdenum flakes are used as heat insulation screens, heat shield, reflective screens, heating belts, connectors, etc.
- High temperature furnace industry:
It is used to make molybdenum boats, trays, carriers and molybdenum pushers for high-temperature furnaces.
- Sapphire crystal growth furnace industry:
Molybdenum sheets are used to produce reflective screens, cover plates and other components in sapphire crystal growth furnaces
- Plasma coating industry:
They are used to make sputtering targets
- Aerospace and military industry:
Due to its high melting point, high density, high strength, low thermal expansion coefficient, good mechanical strength and thermal shock resistance, molybdenum sheets can withstand extreme temperatures and environments, and are used as high temperature structural materials and heat shielding materials in the aerospace field.
It is often used to manufacture key components such as rocket engine parts and satellite antennas.
- Electronic industry:
Due to its high melting point and good electrical conductivity, molybdenum sheets are used as etching and deposition targets in the electronics industry, as well as to manufacture high temperature electronic devices such as electron tubes, transistors, rectifiers, etc.
- Steel industry:
Molybdenum sheets are used as alloy additives to improve the strength, toughness, heat resistance and corrosion resistance of steel. They are suitable for the manufacture of military equipment such as warships, tanks, guns and cannons, as well as high-end manufacturing fields such as oil pipelines, aircraft, and locomotives.
- Optics and sensors:
The excellent thermal conductivity and stable thermal expansion characteristics of molybdenum sheets make them suitable for precision optical components and sensors.
- Medical field:
The high density and radiation absorption capacity of molybdenum sheets make them target materials for X-ray and CT scanners.
These application areas of molybdenum sheets demonstrate their central role in high-tech and basic industries, as well as their potential important role in future technological development.
