Can Molybdenum Rods Withstand High Energy Discharges?

Molybdenum rods are able to withstand high energy discharges. Due to molybdenum’s high melting point, excellent electrical conductivity and high thermal conductivity, it is very resistant to high energy discharges.

In electrical discharge machining (EDM), a high energy discharge is achieved by arcing between the electrode and the workpiece. This discharge creates a high temperature and high pressure environment, which puts high demands on the electrode materials. Due to its unique material properties, molybdenum rods have the following advantages to withstand high energy discharges:

High Melting Point: Molybdenum has a very high melting point of about 2620°C, allowing it to maintain stability in high temperature environments and prevent melting.

Good conductivity: Molybdenum is an excellent conductive material with low resistance and good current conduction ability, and can withstand high-energy arc discharge.

Good thermal conductivity: Molybdenum has a high thermal conductivity, which can effectively disperse the heat generated during the discharge process and prevent overheating and damage.

High hardness and wear resistance: Molybdenum rods have high hardness and wear resistance, which can resist impact and wear during arc discharge and prolong the service life.
