Pure Molybdenum – Recycling and Scrub Overview

Pure Molybdenum (Mo) is a critical refractory metal and high-strength alloying element widely used in steelmaking, superalloy production, and high-temperature industrial applications. Known for its high melting point (2623°C), excellent strength-to-weight ratio, and superior corrosion resistance, molybdenum enhances mechanical, thermal, and chemical stability in the world’s most demanding environments.

Key Industrial Applications

Alloying Agent in Steel Production

Molybdenum is essential in the manufacture of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels, tool steels, and stainless steels (e.g., 316L, 317L, duplex grades). It improves hardenability, creep resistance, and corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-rich and acidic environments.

Superalloys and High-Temperature Alloys

Used in aerospace, power generation, and chemical reactors, molybdenum enhances high-temperature strength, fatigue resistance, and oxidation stability in alloys such as Inconel, Hastelloy, and Rene® series.

Thermal and Electrical Applications

Due to its high thermal conductivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion, and electrical stability, molybdenum is used in electronic components, furnace parts, and glass melting electrodes.

Nuclear and Defense Applications

Its radiation shielding properties and dimensional stability make it suitable for nuclear fuel assemblies, military-grade alloys, and plasma-facing components.

SSM’s Role in Molybdenum Supply

At Shams Al Sajaa Metal Scrap Tr. (SSM), we offer high-purity molybdenum materials for alloy producers, foundries, and industrial consumers. Our offerings include:

• Pure molybdenum solids, turnings, and rods
• Molybdenum alloy scrap and revert materials
• Verified chemical composition with spectrometric analysis
• Custom melting blends and re-alloying support

We ensure all molybdenum feedstock is segregated, certified, and ready for furnace use, meeting the rigorous demands of specialty steelmakers, superalloy producers, and advanced component manufacturers.

Why Choose Pure Molybdenum?

• High strength at elevated temperatures
• Superior corrosion and wear resistance
• Enhances alloy toughness and longevity
• Supports clean, controlled steelmaking and alloy performance

Driving Sustainability Through Reuse

Recycling molybdenum-rich scrap reduces the environmental impact of primary mining and supports a circular economy. At SSM, we recover, process, and redistribute molybdenum in forms ready for re-alloying and melting, helping manufacturers lower costs and reduce carbon intensity.
