Molybdenum diboride:Crystal structure,Physical properties,Applications

Molybdenum diboride is a gray powder with high strength and hardness and has resistance to high temperatures, good electrical conductivity, and good oxidation resistance.

Crystal structure

The crystal structure of molybdenum diboride is rhombohedral.

Physical properties

Molybdenum diboride's density: 9.26 (g / ml, air = 1 ), melting point: 2280 ℃. it is a solid which is insoluble and difficult to fuse, having conductive.

Applications

Molybdenum diboride applications are widely, mainly as additives used in electron-tungsten, aluminum, and tantalum alloy production, and often as wear-resistant coating film and the semiconductor thin film raw material.

Hazards

The product may harm the environment, so do not discharge undiluted products to reach groundwater, watercourse, or sewage system. Besides, without government permission does not allow material discharge into the surrounding environment. In addition, it should be sealed and stored in a cool dry place.
