Description of Molybdenum Wire

Thermal spray molybdenum wire is made from molybdenum (Mo), a transition metal known for its high melting point of approximately 2,623°C and excellent corrosion resistance. The wire is designed for thermal spraying applications, where it is melted and sprayed onto surfaces to create protective coatings. Molybdenum’s properties, such as high strength and wear resistance, make it ideal for enhancing the durability of components exposed to harsh environments. Common applications include aerospace, automotive, and industrial machinery, where it helps to protect surfaces from wear and oxidation. The use of thermal spray molybdenum wire improves the lifespan and performance of critical components in demanding conditions.
