The price of Molybdenum has nearly doubled in the past 15 years. Molybdenum costs are also dependent on the purity of the metal.

This bar is pure .999 Molybdenum metal. Molybdenum is a silvery-white ductile metal with the atomic number 42 and atomic symbol Mo. It has one of the highest melting points of any pure element.

The metal is highly resistant to corrosion and is a micronutrient essential or all life. Molybdenum is a transition metal, which allows it to easily form compounds with other elements. Application Because of its high melting point, molybdenum is often produced and sold as a grey powder.

Many molybdenum items are formed by compressing the powder at a very high pressure. It is used in steel alloys to increase hardness, electrical conductivity, resistance to corrosion and wear, and strength. ‘Moly steel’ alloys are used in parts of engines. Other alloys are used in drills, saw blades, and heating elements. Molybdenum powders are used in microwaves devices and circuit inks for circuit boards. The iron and steel industries account for more than 75% of molybdenum consumption.

Although it is toxic in anything other than small quantities, molybdenum is an essential trace element for all life forms. Molybdenum-dependent enzymes are not only required for human health as well as the health of our ecosystem. Production The main molybdenum ore is molybdenite (molybdenum disulfide). Molybdenite is processed by roasting to form molybdenum oxide, and then reducing to the metal. Processing recovered ores occurs in five steps: Milling, floatation, roasting, ferromolybdenum smelting, and molybdenum metal production. It is often recovered a by-product of copper or tungsten mining.
