- Molybdenum has a very high melting temperature and is used in the lighting industry.
- Mo is predominantly produced powder metallurgically.
- The main application of molybdenum is the steel industry as an additive, and especially in the production of stainless steel.
- In rocket production, Mo is used for the production of the nozzle elements, and other high-temperature-loaded construction elements, thermal shields, etc.
- In electronics, Mo is used in the production of X-ray tubes, as catodes and as a sealing element between glass and metal. In high-temperature furnaces,
- Mo is used as heating coils.
- Mo is also used as fastener screws and nuts in high-temperature applications.
