How Do We Use Molybdenum?

0 Comment

How Do We Use Molybdenum? Molybdenum, whose chemical symbol is Mo, was first recognized as an element in 1778. Until that time, the mineral molybdenite—the most important source of molybdenum—was believed to be a lead mineral because of its metallic gray color, greasy feel, and softness. In the late 19th century, French metallurgists discovered that […]

The Role of Niobium in Superalloys

0 Comment

The Role of Niobium in Superalloys Refractory elements are important alloying additions in both nickel-base and iron-nickel-base superalloys. They are responsible for the increased high-temperature mechanical properties present in current superalloy systems. In this article, we’ll take a look at the role of niobium in superalloys. It has long been established that nickel-base and iron-nickel-base […]

How Titanium Is Used Today?

0 Comment

How Titanium Is Used Today? In today’s article, we’ll take a look at how titanium is used today. Titanium is a hard, shiny, and strong metal. It is as strong as steel but much less dense. It is therefore important as an alloying agent with many metals including molybdenum, aluminum, and iron. Titanium metal connects well with […]

What Is the Industrial Diamond?

0 Comment

What Is the Industrial Diamond? Tungsten is a metal element with an atomic number of 74 and an atomic weight of 183.84. It’s usually steel gray or silver-white with high hardness and high melting point. It has air corrosion resistance at room temperature. The main application of tungsten is manufacturing filament, high-speed cutting alloy steel, and super-hard mold. […]
