Molybdenum – the heat-resistant metal
High strength, tough and hard
Molybdenum is a chemical element with the symbol Mo and the atomic number 42. This transition metal has a melting point of around 2,600°C and is a metal with a somewhat lower melting point than tungsten, but its properties are very similar. In practice, the sintered material cannot be cold formed and is brittle at normal temperatures.
