Application of molybdenum
Molybdenum is widely used in the downstream, and is currently used in iron and steel industry, machinery, electronics, mining, agriculture, medicine and other fields, is an important resource. In the field of alloy, the specific impedance, stress, corrosion resistance and other properties of sputtered films can be balanced by adding alloy elements such as tungsten, vanadium, niobium and tantalum into molybdenum target. In the electronic field, molybdenum is one of the preferred electronic packaging materials for high-power electronic components at home and abroad. It can match with BeO and Al2O3 ceramics, and is widely used in microwave, communication, radio frequency, aerospace, power electronics, high-power semiconductor laser, medical and other industries. In the field of microwave packaging and radio frequency packaging, it is widely used as heat sink. In military electronic equipment, it is often used as the base material of high reliability circuit board.
41% of the primary molybdenum products in China are mainly used in the production of alloy structural steel, with a small gap compared with foreign countries. The domestic alloy structural steel accounts for 41% of the primary product application field, while globally, the proportion of low-alloy structural steel reaches 39%. Compared with domestic alloy structural steel, the proportion of primary product structure is relatively similar to that of foreign countries.
Globally, the ultimate end application products of molybdenum are mainly concentrated in automobile and petrochemical fields. The ultimate terminal products of molybdenum in the global field are mainly concentrated in transportation, chemical industry and petrochemical industry, as well as oil and gas fields. Transportation, chemical and petrochemical, petroleum and natural gas and mechanical engineering accounted for more than 55%.
