Description of Molybdenum Strip, Foil and Ribbon
Molybdenum strip is a high-performance material made from molybdenum (Mo), known for its exceptional melting point of approximately 2,623°C and outstanding mechanical strength. It is produced through powder metallurgy, where molybdenum powder is sintered and then rolled into strips of various thicknesses for precise applications. Commonly used in electronics, aerospace, and chemical processing, molybdenum strips offer excellent corrosion resistance and thermal stability, making them suitable for demanding environments.

Effect of annealing temperature on microstructure, texture and properties of molybdenum foil
The microstructure, texture and mechanical properties of 0.06 mm thick molybdenum foil after annealing at different temperatures were studied by micrograph and EBSD analysis. The results show that the grains of the cold-rolled molybdenum foil along the rolling direction are fibrous. As the annealing temperature increasing from 750 °C to 1000 °C, the average layer thickness of these fibrous grains gradually grows. And the relative frequency of low-angle grain boundaries increases, while the relative frequency of high-angle grain boundaries decreases.
