2. Alloy steel it is the largest consumption of molybdenum, accounting for the world's molybdenum consumption of 44% of the total amount of molybdenum, accounting for the amount of molybdenum added to the iron and steel of more than half.
3. Stainless steel, which accounts for about 22% of the total consumption of molybdenum, usually add molybdenum amount of 4% to 5%, often used for anti-erosion, corrosion resistance.
4. For example, petroleum refining, natural gas wells and oil wells in the corrosion-prone places, aircraft engines, marine equipment, chemical equipment and so on.
5. Molybdenum and molybdenum-based alloys: they account for about 6% of the world's total molybdenum consumption.
6. Molybdenum melting point, boiling point, high temperature strength, good, anti-motor corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient is small, quenching and other advantages, so that it is widely used in the aerospace, weaponry, electronics, chemical industry and other areas of the recovery of satellites re-entry into the atmosphere, it is necessary to overcome the hot air flow scouring.
7. Therefore, it is required to be able to withstand vibration, shock, vacuum, radiation and temperature alternating environment, molybdenum-based alloys are commonly used to make the skin of the satellite recovery module stabilization skirt.
8. TZM molybdenum alloy is also used in the production of cosmic rockets or space shuttles, solid fuel rocket engine nozzle, rocket nose cone, the leading edge of the vehicle, rudder, anti-heat screen, honeycomb structure and so on.
9. Molybdenum chemical products: this accounted for about 10% of the total consumption of molybdenum, about half of which is used as a lubricant, and the second catalysts, pigments, corrosion inhibitors, reagents and so on.
