What Are the Properties of Molybdenum at High Temperatures?

Molybdenum is a lustrous, silvery metal with a melting point of 2620°C (4748°F) and a boiling point of 5560°C (10,040°F). Molybdenum has high strength and stiffness and resists softening at increasing temperature, thus making molybdenum one of the highest performing metals in refractory conditions. These peak properties are enhanced by excellent thermal conductivity and a low degree of thermal expansion.
