What are the use for the molybdenum wire?
Molybdenum is a metal silver color with properties that make it one of the most valuable industrial metals. It is melted at 4,753 degrees Fahrenheit (2,623 degrees Celsius) - one of the highest melting points of any metal - and has the ability to withstand very high pressure and temperature without softening or expanding. These properties cause the molybdenum wire to be useful in various products, such as automotive and aircraft components, electric vacuum devices, bulbs, heating elements and high -temperature furnaces. Molybdenum wire can also be used for printer needles and other parts of the printer. Depending on what the molybdenum wire should be used, it can be made of pure molybdenum, a mixture of molybdenum and other materials such as potassium silicate, or molybdenum alloys and other metals, such as high temperature. For example, various furnace components such as heating elements, outlets and windings are commonly used. Its high melting point causes a molybdenum wire suitable for specializationNo, high -temperature furnaces with atmosphere of hydrogen or vacuum atmosphere.
Another common use for molybdem wire is as part of bulbs. For example, it can be used in the production of support fibers made of tungsten, for the production of wires for halogen lamp bulbs and the production of electrodes for drain lamps and tubes. This type of wire is also used in the aircraft lesses, where it acts as a heating element and provides thawing. The molybdenum wire is also used in the production of electron tubes and a power tube grid.
The wire surface can be clean or coated. The coated wire is black because it is covered with oxides and lubricants. The wire tensile strength is often an important aspect in manufactory and also affects the appearance of the wire: the more tensile strength, the less straight the wire.
Molybdenum wire usually comes in sizes from a diameter of 0.001 inch (0.025 mm) to 0.25 inches (6, 35 mm) in diameter. Its size can be measured either in inches or in Miles, with 1 miles equal to a thousandth of the thumb. For very thin wire, the size is expressed in the form of a weight of a certain length of the wire, rather than the diameter. Molybdenum has a similar appearance and even received its name from the Greek word for lead, molybdos, because it was often wrong under antiquity.
