- Molybdenum Metal & Molybdenum Powder Description:
A dark gray or black lustrous powder, molybdenum was confused with graphite and lead ore before being recognized as a new element. The metal, silvery-white, is very hard, but is softer and more ductile than tungsten. Molybdenum has a high melting point, good resistance to corrosion, excellent wear and abrasion resistance, good electrical and thermo conducting properties. It is valuable for alloying, as it improves harden-ability and toughness of quenched and tempered steels.

2) Outlook for Molybdenum to 2015:
Between August 2008 and March 2009, molybdenum prices, responding to the global economic downturn, fell from US$34/lbMo to US$8/lbMo. This followed a four-year period when supply limitations and growing demand, principally from low alloy and stainless steels, sustained an average price of US$30/lbMo. Stockpiling of imported roasted concentrates by Chinese traders and consumers resulted in prices rallying for a while in mid 2009. Through 2010 and 2011, market volatility is likely to continue but thereafter consumer demand for molybdenum in steel for process and power plant, as well as in oil and gas projects, will keep the market tight. The availability of project finance will remain a problem for potential new producers outside China. The consequent under-investment in molybdenum projects in 2009 and 2010 will have consequences for supply as far ahead as 2015. Source: Rosskill
