The application of molybdenum crucibles in the metallurgical industry
Molybdenum crucibles, with their outstanding performance, have become powerful tools for the metallurgical industry to handle extreme conditions. Its melting point is as high as 2620°C, far exceeding that of traditional metal crucibles. When smelting refractory metals such as tungsten and tantalum, it can operate stably at high temperatures close to its own melting point. Meanwhile, molybdenum crucibles have excellent chemical inertness and corrosion resistance. In processes such as single crystal growth and high-temperature alloy preparation, they can effectively prevent reactions with substances in the melt, ensuring the purity and performance of the products.
From the perspective of cost and benefit, molybdenum crucibles demonstrate significant advantages. In metallurgical environments with long-term high temperatures and strong corrosion, molybdenum crucibles, with their long service life and stable performance, reduce the cost and time loss caused by frequent crucible replacement. Compared with ordinary crucibles that are prone to react with the melt and lead to a decrease in product purity, the use of molybdenum crucibles can avoid raw material waste and product quality defects, and improve production efficiency and economic benefits.
Molybdenum crucibles are widely used and cover multiple metallurgical fields. In vacuum metallurgy, it can assist in the stable production of high-purity metals in an inert gas or vacuum environment. In scenarios involving the treatment of corrosive media such as molten salt electrolysis and rare earth metal extraction, it plays an irreplaceable role due to its high corrosion resistance to molten salts. In the preparation of coatings and composite materials, it provides a uniform heating environment for the melting of raw materials, prevents component segregation, and ensures the performance of the materials.
Mosten Alloy can produce molybdenum sheet, molybdenum block, molybdenum foil, molybdenum rod, molybdenum wire, molybdenum processing workpiece according to customer demand.
