Molybdenum powder is widely used in the production of alloys, especially in the steel industry. It enhances strength, hardness, and resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. It is a key component in stainless steels, tool steels, and superalloys used in aerospace, automotive, and energy applications.

In the electronics industry, molybdenum powder serves as a conductive material in semiconductor devices and thin-film transistors. It is used in the manufacture of electrodes, interconnects, and diffusion barriers in integrated circuits.

It also finds use in powder metallurgy for producing molybdenum metal parts and components through pressing and sintering. These parts are valued in high-temperature environments such as furnace components, glass melting equipment, and heat shields.

Additionally, molybdenum powder acts as a catalyst in the petroleum and chemical industries, particularly in desulfurization processes. It is also used in coatings to improve wear resistance and in additive form in lubricants for high-load and high-temperature applications.
