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 also used as a diffusion barrier in microelectronics due to its thermal stability.

Another major application is in catalysts for petroleum refining and chemical synthesis, where it promotes desulfurization and hydrogenation reactions.

Molybdenum powder is also employed in powder metallurgy to manufacture furnace parts, electrical contacts, and wear-resistant components. Its high melting point and thermal conductivity make it suitable for high-temperature industrial equipment.

Additionally, it is used in coatings and additive manufacturing to improve wear and heat resistance in mechanical parts.
