Can Molybdenum Rods Be Used in High Oxygen Environments?

Molybdenum rods can be used in high oxygen environments, but their performance is affected by oxygen concentration and temperature. Under proper conditions, molybdenum rods can exhibit good oxidation resistance. The following are some considerations for molybdenum rods in high oxygen environments:

Oxide layer formation: When molybdenum rods are exposed to a high oxygen environment, a dense oxide layer will be formed, which can prevent oxygen from further eroding the surface of molybdenum rods.

Oxidation Rate: Oxidation rate depends on oxygen concentration, temperature and time. The oxidation rate of molybdenum rod increases in high oxygen atmosphere, but the oxidation rate of molybdenum is lower compared to other materials.

Effect of temperature: Temperature is a key factor affecting the performance of molybdenum rods in high oxygen environments. At lower temperatures, the oxidation rate of molybdenum rods is relatively slow. But at very high temperatures, such as over 1000 degrees Celsius (1832 degrees Fahrenheit), the oxidation resistance of molybdenum rods may be limited.
