Molybdenum
Foil, Wire, Strips, Bars, Rods, and Tubes
Molybdenum is a silver, shiny, metal, which like tungsten is located in the transition section of our periodic table with the Atomic number of 42.
Molybdenum has a high melting point (2617oC) which makes it an excellent metal for furnace heating elements, electric lamp filaments and electrodes for mercury vapor lamps.
