Molybdenum Powder

Molybdenum Powder

01
Description
JSC POLEMA produces sintered and deformed semi-finished products (sheets, rods), plates, electrodes for melting glass, sputtering targets, trays and other parts, using oxide-reduced molybdenum powder with purity of 99.95-99.97% as the raw material.

Thanks to the low content of interstitial impurities and metallic impurities and the small-grain texture of the material, the finished products boast outstanding plastic properties.

Some of molybdenum's important features in terms of its industrial application include its high heat resistance, electric conductivity and heat conductivity, its relatively low thermal neutron capture cross-section with a volume weight almost twice lower than that of tungsten, etc. Molybdenum's resistance to creep and stress-rupture at high temperatures in a vacuum and in protective atmosphere (argon, hydrogen) is noticeably higher than the same properties of many metals used as the base for heat-resistant materials.

As a result of molybdenum's low temperature coefficient of linear expansion and its high melting point, it ensures the dependable functionality of structures made from molybdenum that operate at high temperatures.

Molybdenum's high thermal conductivity is several times greater than that of ordinarily used heat-resistant alloys, which prevents thermal stresses during rapid heating and cooling.

Molybdenum is resistant to the effects of acids, alkalis and resistive in many molten metals and liquid glasses.

specifications
JSC POLEMA produces:

1. Reduced molybdenum powder. Applies:

- in the production of sintered and deformable semi-finished products and items (bar, sheet, rod, electrode, crucible, sputtering target, molybdenum alloys);

- in the production of electrical contacts (mixed with copper) and electronic components;

- as a catalyst, for example, a complex highly efficient molybdenum catalyst for the epoxidation of olefins in the production of polypropylene.

2. Molybdenum powder for plasma spraying. Applies:

- plasma spraying of sublayer or working wear-resistant coatings in heavily loaded sliding bearings (for example, rolling mill bearings), on pump parts and pumping equipment, in ICE fuel injectors, on piston rings, cams, gearbox synchronizer rings, shaft seals, etc. 

The coatings have wear-resistant and antifriction properties under high loads; resistance to abrasion and erosion in an oxidizing environment (in air) at temperatures up to 340 ° C. 

Approximate hardness values of coatings are 25-34 HRC; production of sintered permeable products by powder metallurgy methods.
