Molybdenum Wire

Molybdenum wire is a type of wire made from the chemical element molybdenum. Molybdenum is a silvery-white metal with a high melting point, making it an ideal material for use in high-temperature applications. Molybdenum wire is typically made through a process called drawing, where a molybdenum rod is pulled through a die to create a thin, uniform wire. Molybdenum wire is known for its high strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand high temperatures. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of filaments for lamps, electrical contacts, heating elements, and in the aerospace and defense industries.
