Molybdenum Strip Description

Molybdenum is gray-metallic and has a high melting point. It is found in various oxidation states in minerals but does not occur naturally as a free metal. Molybdenum allows readily to form hard and stable carbides. For this reason, molybdenum is frequently used for making steel alloys, high-strength alloys, and superalloys.

Molybdenum strip & molybdenum ribbon are made of molybdenum metal. As a leading supplier of molybdenum products across the world, Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) enjoys over two decades of experience in the manufacture and sale of molybdenum strips & molybdenum ribbons, offering customers high-quality molybdenum strips & molybdenum ribbon at very competitive prices.

Molybdenum Strip Application

Molybdenum strips play a pivotal role in ensuring reliable electricity conduction to high-intensity discharge lamps (HID lamps). Their unique geometry is specifically designed to alleviate stress at the interface between the surrounding glass and the electrically conductive ribbon. This critical function not only enhances the overall performance of HID lamps but also extends their operational life. The molybdenum strips' precise engineering makes them indispensable in the lighting industry, where their conductivity and stress-reducing properties contribute significantly to the efficiency and longevity of high-intensity discharge lamps, ensuring a consistent and durable illumination source.

FAQs

Q1: How is the Molybdenum Strip produced?

A1: Molybdenum strips are produced by rolling molybdenum ingots into thin strips using high-temperature rolling mills. The molybdenum is first purified, then heated, and rolled to the desired thickness. After rolling, the strips are annealed to relieve stress and improve their properties. The final product is available in various thicknesses, widths, and lengths, depending on customer requirements.

Q2: Can the Molybdenum Strip be easily fabricated?

A2: Yes, the Molybdenum strip is highly versatile and can be easily fabricated into different shapes and sizes. It can be laser-cut, machined, punched, stamped, and bent to meet the specific requirements of your application. Molybdenum is a ductile material, and with the proper tools and techniques, it can be fabricated to tight tolerances.

Q3: How should the Molybdenum Strip be stored?

A3: Molybdenum strips should be stored in a dry, cool environment to prevent any corrosion or contamination. They should be kept away from moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Ideally, Molybdenum strips should be stored in sealed containers or protective packaging to maintain their quality.
