IRVINE, Calif. - Feb. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- If you are planning to purchase molybdenum, you have to gather as much market information as possible besides a fundamental knowledge on the products. Here are some facts about this useful metal that you will definitely wish to know as a reference.

1.      Necessary for optimum health

All of us know very well that there are many minerals we need for the normal functioning of our body. Molybdenum is one such essential mineral. It is not possible to maintain optimum health in the absence of this valuable metal.

Before you make any decision to purchase molybdenum, it is useful to learn some historical information first. The history of molybdenum backdates to the year 1778 when Scheele discovered this precious metal. It is naturally present in the mineral form. It looks very much similar to lead. That is why it was given the name molybdenum. In Greek, molybdos is the word used for lead.

Molybdenum is applied to a great number of fields. Different applications use molybdenum for different purposes. This metal has some special properties that make it ideal for few applications. On the other hand, unique combination of properties makes it suitable for some other applications, for example,in material processing equipment, medical equipment, aircraft and defense components, electrical and electronic devices.

2.      Special properties

Stability and strength of molybdenum at high temperature is the key feature of this metal which is responsible for why people prefer it for many applications. However, high electrical conductivity, high electrical conductivity, high stiffness, thermal shock resistance and ability to resist against molten metal attack are some other useful properties of molybdenum. Moreover, it s compatible with almost every type of glass compositions and has the ability to form firm bonding with glass in electronic devices and lamps.

Why should we purchase molybdenum? This is a question that comes to the mind of any investor who plans to spend money on metals. The very first reason is that you need this precious metal because it is indispensable for life. Other precious metals like gold and silver do not have the property to support life. In addition, it is not available in earth crust in large quantity. The melting point of this metal is 4753 degree Celsius which is the highest among all life-giving elements.

When we think of human health, then molybdenum again is very valuable asset. The importance of this metal is obvious from the fact that lower quantity of molybdenum in China’s soil has resulted in higher occurrence of esophageal cancer. Molybdenum is also helpful in prevention of impotence happening to old people. Moreover, it increases the iron absorption thereby preventing us from the risk of anemia.

Use of this metal in nuclear power plants is another encouraging factor to purchase molybdenum. Its ability to prevent corrosion makes it suitable for oils and gas pipelines as well. The total production of molybdenum is 500 million pounds every year. This is not a big quantity against the demand for this valuable metal.
