Is molybdenum stronger than steel?
Molybdenum has higher strength than steel
Molybdenum has higher strength than steel. Molybdenum is a metal material with special properties such as high strength and high temperature, and its tensile strength, yield strength, and hardness are superior to ordinary steel. The tensile strength of molybdenum can usually reach 638MPa, the yield strength can reach about 385MPa, and the hardness can reach 220-260HB
In contrast, the strength of ordinary steel is lower and cannot be compared to molybdenum.
In addition, molybdenum performs well in high-temperature environments and is commonly used in fields such as aviation, aerospace, chemical engineering, and machinery. Compared with other high-strength alloys, molybdenum alloy exhibits excellent performance in high temperature environments, while titanium alloy and stainless steel do not perform as well as molybdenum alloy in high temperature environments.
The application of molybdenum in stainless steel can significantly improve its high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance, especially in terms of resistance to reducing media, pitting corrosion, and crevice corrosion.
