Due to its high abrasion and wear resistance, molybdenum has become an indispensable material for metal spraying technology. Thin layers of molybdenum are sprayed thermically on surfaces of mechanically strongly stressed automobile parts, such as piston rings, synchronizer rings, shift elements, to increase their abrasion resistance.Furthermore, molybdenum spray wire is applied as an intermediate layer in the case of repairs of machine parts, such as bearing shells and shafts, because of the lacking adhesion of steel layers to steel without intermediate molybdenum layers.

The advantages of molybdenum

Because of its high wear resistance, low abrasion on any mating parts and exceptional compatibility with oils molybdenum is the ideal material for highly mechanically stressed coatings. With a constant coefficient of friction, good adhesive properties and high safeguard against overloading molybdenum coatings are widely used in the automotive industry and mechanical engineering.

Advantages of PLANSEE molybdenum spray wire

PLANSEE quality standards guarantee maximum productivity and reliability, providing optimum support to uninterrupted operations. Tight tolerances and absolute freedom from cracks are consistently achieved, ensured by 100% eddy current inspection. In addition high strength and good bending properties make an important contribution to an effective coating process. We supply both bright and graphite-coated wire with optimum handling and feeding
properties. Our spray wire has a guaranteed minimum purity of 99.97 %.
