What is Molybdenum Carbide?
Molybdenum Carbide is a gray hexagonal crystal. It has a high melting point and hardness, good thermal and mechanical stability, and good corrosion resistance. The melting point is 2692℃. It is insoluble in water and lye, slightly soluble in nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrofluoric acid. The molecular formula of molybdenum carbide is Mo2C, the molecular weight is 203.88, and the carbon content is 5.89%. As a new type of functional material, it has been widely used in high-temperature resistance, wear-resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance field.
