MU0082 Molybdenum Disc

Molybdenum Disc Description

Molybdenum Discs and molybdenum squares are engineered molybdenum products. Possessing a gray hue and an exceptionally high melting point, molybdenum is not found naturally as a free metal but exists in various oxidation states in minerals. Its propensity to readily form robust and stable carbides makes it a preferred choice for crafting steel alloys, high-strength alloys, and superalloys. Molybdenum compounds typically exhibit low solubility in water and find industrial applications in high-pressure and high-temperature settings, such as pigments and catalysts.

Molybdenum Discs and Molybdenum Squares provided by Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) share a similar low coefficient of thermal expansion to silicon and boast high-performance machining properties. We provide options with both polished and lapped surfaces.

Molybdenum Disc Applications

Utilized as a critical electronic component in high-power and high-reliability semiconductors, molybdenum serves the crucial purpose of efficiently dissipating heat. Its application extends to serving as contact materials in silicon-controlled rectifiers, diodes, transistors, and thyristors (GTOs). Additionally, molybdenum finds essential use as heat sink bases in integrated circuits (ICs), large-scale integrated circuits (LSIs), and hybrid circuits, contributing to effective thermal management in electronic devices.

Molybdenum Disc FAQs

Q1: How are molybdenum discs packaged?

A1: Molybdenum discs are carefully packaged to ensure safe transportation and protection from contamination:

Foam packaging or vacuum-sealed bags to avoid exposure to moisture or air

Custom packaging can be arranged based on size, quantity, and shipping requirements

Q2: How should molybdenum discs be handled and stored?

A2: To ensure the longevity and quality of molybdenum discs:

Handle with care to avoid physical damage or contamination

Store in a dry, cool, and clean environment to prevent oxidation

Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock

Use gloves when handling to avoid oils, dust, or other contaminants from affecting the surface

Q3: Can molybdenum discs be used in high-temperature environments?

A3: Yes, molybdenum discs are highly suited for high-temperature applications. Their melting point of 2,623°C (4,753°F) makes them ideal for use in furnaces, reactors, aerospace, and other extreme-temperature environments.
