Molybdenum Wire

Luma Metall has over 50 years experience in molybdenum wires and gold plating tungsten. The name molybdenum comes from Ancient greek, molybdos. The silvery metal has the sixth highest melting point of all metals, for example tungsten and rhenium has higher melting points.

Molybdenum’s ability to resist high temperatures without expanding or softening makes it useful in high pressure and high temperature applications.

The material is also used in steel alloy for its high corrosion resistance and weld ability. Sometimes molybdenum is used instead of tungsten due to its lower density.

Examples of applications; Antennas, Electronic tubes, Spark erosion, Lightning and Mesh
