Subject field(s)
  • Steel
DEF

Steel containing 10-15% molybdenum.

OBS

[When] molybdenum is added to even small steel concentrations, the result is an ultra-high-strength steel that will maintain structural stability when placed under pressures reaching as high as 300,000 lbs/sq. in. These massive levels of strength do not deteriorate in high temperatures, making steel molybdenum alloys viable materials for missile and aircraft parts.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Acier

L'addition d'une faible quantité de molybdène durcit l'acier. Plus des deux tiers de la production de molybdène est utilisé dans les alliages. [...] Le molybdène est utilisé dans certaines parties d'avions et de missiles, et également comme filament.
