Molybdenum
ISO-Certified Molybdenum Etching
Molybdenum (or moly) is a refractory metal with an extremely high melting point of 2,623° C and a very low coefficient of thermal expansion. These features make it an ideal material for high-temperature applications such as cauterizing elements, grids for electron-beam devices, heating elements, and ceramic-to-metal joining. Elcon provides unmatched capability in molybdenum etching, and is the only etching manufacturer on the west coast that is ISO9001-2015, AS9100D, and ITAR-certified.
