Product Introduction
In high-temperature furnaces, molybdenum wire is often coiled or formed into various shapes and used as a heating element to generate heat through electrical resistance. When an electric current is passed through the molybdenum wire, it heats up and radiates thermal energy, allowing the furnace to reach and maintain the desired high temperatures required for specific processes. Molybdenum has a very high melting point of approximately 2,623 degrees Celsius (4,753 degrees Fahrenheit). This property allows it to operate at temperatures well beyond those achievable with conventional heating elements like nichrome or Kanthal wires. Molybdenum wire used in heating elements is often manufactured with high purity, reducing the risk of contamination or reactions with the furnace atmosphere.
