Who uses Molybdenum?
Almost everyone depends on molybdenum, even though they may not realize it. Molybdenum looks like many other grey metals, but is not used in an easily recognized form like, for example, copper or aluminum are used. Instead, Moly is used as an addition to steels, irons and non-ferrous alloys or other ways in which the Moly itself is never seen. Everyone knows what copper and aluminum look like and can immediately identify a copper cable or aluminum can. But not many can look at a light bulb or a TV tube and tell which parts are made of molybdenum. On the other hand, the increasing popularity of lubricants containing Molysulfide© has extended from heavy industry to service stations and home workshops. The black color and the inclusion of the term ‘Moly’ in the lubricant manufacturer’s trademark can identify these products.
