INTRODUCTION
Long considered a rare metal, molybdenum only really attracted interest during the First World War as a substitute for tungsten in steels.
Its applications and those of its alloys benefit from all its properties, such as high melting temperature, high modulus of elasticity, high mechanical strength at high temperatures, good electrical and thermal conductivity, good coefficients of expansion and friction, and excellent corrosion resistance in a wide range of environments.
The main industries using molybdenum are the electrical and electronics industries, the glass industry, furnace construction, the chemical industry, metallization coatings, military applications...
