Is Molybdenum Stronger Than Steel?

Molybdenum is not stronger than steel in all cases. The strength of molybdenum and steel depends on the specific grade of each material and the intended use. Generally, steel is stronger than pure molybdenum, but molybdenum can be added to steel alloys to increase their strength, hardness, and toughness at high temperatures. TZM alloy, which is a molybdenum-based alloy containing titanium and zirconium, is known for its high strength and excellent high-temperature performance.
