    To customize your molybdenum foam, please provide the following details:

    1. Porosity
    2. Cell Size (PPI)
    3. Density
    4. Thickness
    5. Size and Shape
    6. Purity (Specify the purity of material required.)
    7. Quantity of the products you need
    8. Alternatively, you can provide a drawing with your specifications.

    Once we have these details, we can provide you with a quote within 24 hours.

    We carry a wide variety of molybdenum and molybdenum alloy products in stock, and for these, there is generally no minimum order requirement. However, for custom orders, we typically set a minimum order value of $200. The lead time for stock items is usually 1-2 weeks, while custom orders usually take 3-4 weeks, depending on the specifics of the order.

    DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) compliance is primarily concerned with the sourcing of materials for defense-related applications in the United States. According to DFARS, certain materials used in defense must be sourced from the United States or qualifying countries.

    If you have specific molybdenum materials that are subject to DFARS, please let us know in advance and we will confirm.

    At Shanghai Yuepeng Tech, we take this responsibility seriously. We adhere to all applicable laws and regulations, including Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Our company operates with a strict code of ethics and is committed to only partnering with suppliers who share our dedication to responsible sourcing. We support the initiatives and programs aimed at promoting “conflict-free” supply chains and work diligently to ensure that our products meet these standards.

    Its key properties include: extremely high temperature resistance (melting point 2622°C), excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, high structural strength, light weight, and a very large surface area. These advantages make it highly promising for applications like high-temperature insulation, catalyst supports, and aerospace.

    The core difference is temperature resistance. Molybdenum foam has a much higher melting point and maximum service temperature than nickel foam, making it suitable for extreme environments. However, nickel foam is less expensive and more common in room-temperature applications like battery electrodes.

    Shanghai Yuepeng Tech, established in 2022 in Shanghai, China, is a specialized supplier and manufacturer of molybdenum and molybdenum alloys. With extensive expertise in supply and export, we offer competitive pricing and customized solutions tailored to specific requirements, ensuring outstanding quality and customer satisfaction. As a professional provider of refractory metals, specialty alloys, spherical powders, and various advanced materials, we serve the research, development, and large-scale industrial production needs of the scientific and industrial sectors.
