Molybdenum Rod

Appearance: Divided forging molybdenum rod and polished molybdenum rod; forging molybdenum rod surface is allowed to have oxidize film and slight forging hammer mark; polished molybdenum rod surface presents metallic luster and has no oxidized phenomenon notably; The two surfaces have no defects, such as divided layer, crackle, burr and vertical crackle, etc.

Purity: Mo 99.95%

Specification: Dia. (<20mm) x L (no less than 5000mm). Dia. (20-80mm) x L (<2000mm)

Applications: Used for making electric vacuum device and electric light source parts

Molybdenum rod is manufactured as random length pieces or cut to customers' desired lengths. In addition, there are three different surface processes or finishes which are provided, depending on the desired end use of the molybdenum rod.

SMC produces pure and lanthanum doped molybdenum rod. The lanthanum doped molybdenum rods are targeted for use in higher temperature applications where ductility is retained after recrystallization for material with smaller cross sections

Molybdenum rod Surface Finish

Black - Surface is "as swaged" or "as drawn"; retaining a coating of processing lubricants and oxides.

Cleaned - Surface is chemically cleaned to remove all lubricants and oxides.

Ground - Surface is center-less ground to remove all coating and to achieve precise diameter control.
