Molybdenum alloys have excellent strength and mechanical stability at high temperatures (up to 1900°C). Their high ductility and toughness provide a greater tolerance for imperfections and brittle fracture than ceramics.

The unique properties of molybdenum alloys are utilised in many applications:

• High temperature heating elements, radiation shields, extrusions, forging dies, etc;
• Rotating X-ray anodes used in clinical diagnostics;
• Glass melting furnace electrodes and components that are resistant to molten glass;
• Heat sinks with thermal expansivity matching silicon for semiconductor chip mounts;
• Sputtered layers, only Ångstroms (10-7 mm) thick, for gates and interconnects on integrated circuit chips;
• Sprayed coatings on automotive piston rings and machine components to reduce friction and improve wear.

For specialised applications, Mo is alloyed with many other metals:

• Mo-tungsten alloys are noted for exceptional resistance to molten zinc;
• Mo is clad with copper to provide low expansion and high conductivity electronic circuit boards;
• Mo-25% rhenium alloys are used for rocket engine components and liquid metal heat exchangers which must be ductile at room temperature.
