Molybdenum

Molybdenum is a chemical element with symbol Mo. Molybdenum does not occur naturally as a free metal on Earth, but rather in various oxidation states in minerals. Molybdenum is one of the Copper paragenesis. The most important application of Molybdenum is in steel alloys. Alloys that are made by Molybdenum have strategic uses in aviation industries. Cathodic Copper production of Iran exceeds 200000 ton in year. So Iran has a great potential to produce Molybdenum as byproduct of Copper. Major raw materials for production of Molybdenum are separated from Copper with leaching. According to the published statistics by United States Geological Survey (USGS), Iran has 2.33 percent of Molybdenum production in 2012. So Iran is one of the best Molybdenum Supplier in the world. Marjan Mineral Company honorably can provide suitable conditions for Molybdenum Exporting. Read more . . .


Molybdenum Usages:
  • Molybdenum has a very high melting point so it is produced and sold as a grey powder. Many Molybdenum items are formed by compressing the powder at a very high pressure.
  • Most Molybdenum is used to make alloys. It is used in steel alloys to increase strength, hardness, electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion and wear. These ‘moly steel’ alloys are used in parts of engines. Other alloys are used in heating elements, drills and saw blades. Read more . . .
