Molybdenum Tube
Molybdenum pipe is a pipe made of molybdenum (Mo) or its alloy, which has a high melting point, good thermal stability and corrosion resistance. Because of these unique physical and chemical properties, molybdenum tubes are useful in many industrial applications, especially in high temperatures and corrosive environments.
Characteristics and applications of molybdenum tubes:
1. High melting point: Molybdenum has a very high melting point (approximately 2623°C or 4809°F), which allows molybdenum tubes to remain solid at temperatures where most other metals melt, making it ideal for use in smelting processes and applications at high temperatures.
2. Corrosion resistance: Molybdenum has good corrosion resistance to many chemicals, especially in reducing environments. Therefore, it can be used to treat substances that will corrode or react with ordinary metal pipe materials.
3. Thermal stability: Molybdenum has good thermal stability and can withstand rapid heating and cooling without cracking or deformation.
4. Electrical conductivity: Molybdenum has some electrical conductivity, which means it can be used for electric heating and other electrical applications.
5. Applications: Molybdenum tubes are commonly used in the electronics industry, high-temperature furnace components, heat shields and heat reflectors, vacuum furnaces and heat treatment equipment, melting electrodes in glass manufacturing, components of single crystal growth equipment, etc.
6. Production materials: Although pure molybdenum can be used to make pipes, in order to improve its strength and oxidation resistance, molybdenum alloys are usually used, or a layer of anti-oxidation coating is coated on the molybdenum surface.
Due to its unique high-temperature resistance, molybdenum tubes are valuable in areas such as processing refractory metals, advanced ceramics and special alloys. However, due to their higher cost and operational complexity, their use is usually limited to those specialized situations requiring extreme temperature conditions.
