As the alloy element, pure molybdenum rod can enhance high-temperature intensity and toughness. In addition, molybdenum can increase corrosion resistance in the acid-based solutions and liquid metals, thus improve its wear resistance, hardenability, weldability, and heat resistance. 

   At the same time can be as the raw material for some thermal spray powder and alloy powder, especially Cobalt alloy powder, like Co06,Co12 etc.
