Molybdenum

The high melting point of 2620 °C as well as its high-temperature strength allow the application of Molybdenum at temperatures up to 1900 °C. Depending on its level of deformation, the recrystallization of molybdenum starts between 800 and 1200 °C. Between 1600 and 1800 °C a spontaneous grain growth takes place with a significant decrease in strength and hardness. Molybdenum and its alloys are mainly used because of their outstanding properties at high temperatures.
Advantages of Mo for high temperature applications:
 - High melting-point 
 - High hot-strength
 - Low thermal expansion
 - Low heat capacity
 - High thermal conductivity
