Molybdenum (Mo) Nanopowder General Description
A black powder composed of high surface area particles of molybdenum, ranging from 50 to 100 nanometers in diameter with a 1-5 m2/g surface area.
Molybdenum nanopowder can be acquired in a variety of diameters, in solvent suspensions, and in varying degrees of purity, as required by the
manufacturing or research endeavor at hand.
Molybdenum (Mo) Nanopowder Applications
- • Metallurgy. Adding Mo nanopowder to stainless steel and other alloys can result in anti-corrosive properties, hardening of the composite alloy,
and a host of other benefits to the final result.
- • Electronics. Molybdenum’s unique properties make molybdenum nanopowder a crucial material in the manufacture of various high-pressure
vacuum tubes, heat tubes, X-ray tubes, and the like.
- • Wood machining. Molybdenum nanoparticles have seen extensive use in wood machining to supplement catalysts.
- • Coatings. Molybdenum is well-known as a coating of choice in high-friction, heavy load environments, due to the extreme lubrication it offers.
Molybdenum nanoparticles offer a simple, effective way to apply such coatings with extreme precision.
- • High-temperature lubrication. In situations where a lubricant needs to withstand high temperatures, molybdenum-based synthetic greases work
remarkably well. Molybdenum nanoparticles can play a crucial role in the manufacturing of these high temperature lubricants.
