What is Molybdenum used for?
A. The primary use for molybdenum (moly) is in Steel Alloys. From 1% to 4% is added to stainless steels for strength and corrosive resistance. Alloy Steels contain up to 1% which increases strength, weldability, toughness and heat resistance. Also very few people know or understand the fact that Moly is the catalyst to clean sulphur out of oil and natural gas. The use of moly as the catalyst has increased.
