Molybdenum plates are flat materials made of metallic molybdenum, which play an important role in many high-tech and industrial fields due to their excellent properties. Molybdenum is a high-melting-point metal (melting point 2623°C) with a density of about 10.28g/cm³, and has excellent high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Molybdenum plates are made based on these excellent properties of molybdenum and are widely used in electronics, aerospace, energy, metallurgy and other industries.
Molybdenum plates can maintain stable physical and chemical properties under high temperature environments. The melting point of molybdenum is as high as 2623°C, which prevents molybdenum plates from deforming or melting under extremely high temperature conditions, which is particularly important in the manufacture of high-temperature heating elements and high-temperature containers.
Molybdenum plates have high strength and low thermal expansion coefficient, and are suitable for applications that require high precision and dimensional stability. For example, in the aerospace field, molybdenum plates are used to manufacture components for missiles and aircraft to ensure their reliability under high temperature and high pressure.
Molybdenum plates have good thermal and electrical conductivity. In some special applications, such as heat dissipation elements or electrical contacts of electronic devices, molybdenum plates can effectively conduct heat and current.
Molybdenum has strong corrosion resistance in certain acidic and alkaline environments, which makes molybdenum plates used in the chemical industry to manufacture corrosion-resistant equipment and containers.
Molybdenum ore is smelted and purified to obtain high-purity molybdenum powder.
Molybdenum powder is formed into molybdenum billets by pressing and high-temperature sintering.
The molybdenum billets are rolled or forged into molybdenum plates, and the required thickness and size are achieved through hot rolling and cold rolling processes.
To improve the mechanical properties of molybdenum plates, annealing treatment is performed to improve the toughness and plasticity of the material.
Application areas of molybdenum plates
Molybdenum plates are widely used in the electronics industry to manufacture electrodes and heat sinks for semiconductor devices. The good thermal conductivity of molybdenum plates helps dissipate heat from electronic devices and improves the stability and service life of equipment. In addition, molybdenum plates are also used in backlight modules and electrode materials for liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
Molybdenum plates are used to manufacture high-temperature components of aircraft engines, missile structural materials, and rocket nozzles due to their high-temperature properties. These parts require excellent durability under extreme temperatures and pressures.
In the metallurgical industry, molybdenum plates are used to manufacture high-temperature resistant parts for high-temperature furnace linings, crucibles, brackets and other equipment. Due to the high melting point and thermal shock resistance of molybdenum, these molybdenum products can be used for a long time in high temperature environments.
Molybdenum plates are also used as X-ray shielding materials for medical imaging equipment because molybdenum has good absorption properties for X-rays.
As a high-performance material, molybdenum plates play an important role in many fields. Its advantages of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength, and good thermal conductivity make it have a wide range of application prospects in industries such as electronics, aerospace, metallurgy, and medical care. With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the use of molybdenum plates will be further expanded and become one of the important materials in modern industry and high-tech fields.
