Molybdenum Powder

Molybdenum is a silver-grey metal with a melting point of 2623 ℃ and a density of 10.2 g/cm³. It is one of the commercially available metals with the lowest coefficient of thermal expansion. Molybdenum Powder is commonly produced by reducing ammonium paramolybdate or calcined MoO3 with hydrogen. The oxygen content can be reduced to lower levels through specific reduction conditions. Shanghai Yuepeng can supply high-quality irregular and spherical molybdenum powder with particle sizes from coarse to ultra-fine.
