Product Overview

This Puratronic™ molybdenum rod offers exceptional purity at 99.97% (metals basis), making it a premium choice for applications requiring high thermal stability and corrosion resistance. The 5mm diameter rod is manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring consistent performance in demanding environments. Molybdenum’s high melting point (2623°C) and low thermal expansion make it ideal for use in vacuum furnaces, semiconductor processing, and glass-melting electrodes. The Puratronic™ grade guarantees minimal impurity levels, reducing contamination risks in sensitive processes. Its excellent mechanical strength at elevated temperatures ensures durability, while its machinability allows for custom fabrication. The rod’s smooth surface finish minimizes particle generation, critical for cleanroom applications. Whether used in research or industrial settings, this molybdenum rod delivers reliable performance in extreme conditions.

FAQs

1. What is the maximum operating temperature for this molybdenum rod?

The rod maintains structural integrity up to 1900°C in inert or vacuum environments, though oxidation resistance decreases above 600°C in air.

2. Is this rod compatible with glass-to-metal sealing applications?

Yes, molybdenum’s thermal expansion coefficient closely matches certain borosilicate glasses, making it suitable for hermetic seals when properly processed.

3. How does Puratronic™ grade differ from standard molybdenum?

Puratronic™ undergoes additional refining to achieve 99.97% purity, reducing trace elements like carbon, oxygen, and iron that could affect performance in sensitive applications.
