What are Molybdenum Rods & Bars?
Molybdenum rod, also known as moly rod, is made in various molybdenum grades. Its unique physical and mechanical characteristics help it to be applied in special, high-need situations. Lakshya Steel is a top molybdenum rod manufacturer, which supplies & exports molybdenum rod and molybdenum bar of different grades and types. These products are provided with specifications and standards that regulate quality and size. When the natural properties of molybdenum are demanded then commercially pure versions are also found.
ASTM B387 Type 361 is a commercially pure form that consists of approximately 99.9 molybdenum. There are trace levels of potassium, aluminium, silicon, iron, nickel, copper, chromium, sodium and tungsten in order to fine-tune the performance. This grade has a melting point of approximately 2610°C. Another specified grade of molybdenum bar is Grade 364/365 round bar, which normally provides tensile strength of at least 580 MPa and yield strength of at least 350 MPa.
In low-voltage X-ray systems, molybdenum may replace tungsten as an anode material based on the design, though a pure molybdenum bar is used as an anode material. The grades vary in terms of composition and service profile. This line of molybdenum round bar (up to approximately 99.95% Mo) is designed to be used at high temperatures, and has a melting point of one of the highest of the commercial metals. There are various types of chromium molybdenum round bars (chrome-moly bars), as well as other molybdenum alloys available, such as TZM rods. Contact Lakshya Steel to get the current molybdenum rod price, molybdenum bar price, stock of molybdenum bar available, molybdenum bar size and lead times.
Molybdenum Rod Suppliers & Manufacturers in India
Lakshya Steel is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of molybdenum rods and bars, with a huge stock of products of different sizes, dimensions, and length so as to deliver the required product in time according to your project needs.
We have molybdenum rods of 0.125 inch to 8 inch diameter, and up to 20 feet long. Where ultra-fine is needed, molybdenum wire can be purchased as small as 0.0007 1/2 inch in diameter. In case your size is not available, then our sales department will be happy to help. You may also have a look at or print our entire stock list which includes all sizes and capabilities. We offer more than a commercially pure molybdenum; TZM rods, molybdenum-copper (MoCu), copper-clad molybdenum, and molybdenum-rhenium (Mo-Re). Our rods are produced in Type 360, 361, 363, 364 and 365, and are produced in compliance to ASTM B387 or ASTM B386 standards. Precautionary Chemistries and grades can be requested to fulfill special needs. Molybdenium material is selected because it is hard, and its hardness is only surpassed by tungsten and tantalum. Molybdenum bars have been extensively utilized as pipes connector and plugs in pressure valves to overcome the high pressure. They are required in large quantities in numerous industrial applications involving large-scale production because they are very strong and durable.
At high temperatures, e.g. furnaces and aerospace parts, one of the major applications of molybdenum bars is due to its good strength at high temperatures. Besides this, molybdenum is a good thermal and electrical conductor with low coefficient of expansion and therefore can be used in electronic and electrical applications, such as in glass-to-metal sealing. Molybdenum bars can also be used in the nuclear power industry and are used as catalysts in the petroleum refining industry.
