Molybdenum is the 54th most abundant element in the earth’s crust, it is a soft lustrous, silvery metal in its pure form. Molybdenum has the 6th highest melting point (2617°C) of all the elements and is also one of the best thermal conductors.
These properties lead Molybdenum to a majoring element added to steels and alloys of many forms, with 75% of the worlds Molybdenum is consumed in the manufacture of stainless steels, tool and high-speed steel, HSLA and carbon steels.
