Molybdenum Wire Mesh

Molybdenum wire mesh is a type of woven wire mesh made from molybdenum wires. Molybdenum is a metallic element with high melting point, excellent strength at elevated temperatures, good thermal conductivity, and resistance to corrosion. These properties make molybdenum wire mesh suitable for various industrial applications, particularly in environments with high temperatures or corrosive conditions.

The mesh can be manufactured in various weave patterns, such as plain weave, twill weave, or Dutch weave, to meet specific requirements regarding filtration precision, strength, and durability. Additionally, molybdenum wire mesh can be further processed or coated to enhance its performance for specific applications.

Pure molybdenum wire or molybdenum alloy wire

Excellent high temperature resistance

It has a melting point of 2610℃. It stays stable in air below 600℃, and can be used long-term at up to 2000℃ under vacuum or inert gas. It won’t deform or soften at high heat. With a low thermal expansion rate, it also resists cracking during rapid temperature changes.

Good corrosion resistance

It works well against hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, dilute sulfuric acid, alkaline solutions and most organic solvents. Note that it is not suitable for strong oxidizing acids like nitric acid, or high-temperature gas containing oxygen and sulfur. Vacuum or protective atmosphere is required for such cases.

High strength and reliable performance at high temperatures

It maintains great tensile strength between 1200℃ and 1600℃, and features good creep resistance and vibration fatigue resistance. Tightly woven for solid structure, it is tough, wear-resistant and reusable.

Great conductivity & low thermal expansion

It delivers outstanding electrical and thermal conductivity for fast heat dissipation and stable resistance. Its low thermal expansion ensures high dimensional accuracy at high temperatures, ideal for precision applications.

Molybdenum wire mesh is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, chemical processing, and electronics. It can be utilized for filtration, sieving, heat treating, catalyst support, and other applications where its unique properties are advantageous.
