  • I thought this was a bit breif and missed the whole industrial side of this elements use (alloys of steel). When you do a second run of your videos could this be included?

  • Molybdenum is like my favourite element!!

  • Wasn't Crow T. Robot constructed from molybdenum?

  • The UK challenger tank uses mollibdenum as main component in body bulletproof shield.

  • The answer to the life, the universe and everything is 42. 1/3 confirmed.

  • Molybdenum is quite an interesting element. The main thing I know it from is Moly Grease used in the building and re-building of automotive engines. Grease made with moly is quite resistant to temperature and sticks quite well, making it a perfect grease to lubricate internal engine parts during a first run before motor oil can be brought up to the parts.

  • Pure (99%+) molybdenum is readily available in sheet form. It has many industrial uses, chiefly because of its ability to maintain structural integrity at high temp. Many industrial heat treating vacuum furnaces use moly as a cladding on the internal heat chamber, as temps in these furnaces can be over 2200 F. Molybdenum's high melting point allows it to maintain its shape without deformation, although it does become significantly embrittled after repeated heating and cooling cycles.

  • @disorganizedorg I didn't know that, cancer treatment?

  • @Samqdf Also its use in nuclear medicine as a source of Tc-99m...

  • Molybdenum the new gold....Carlo Biancardi, google me

  • @HamburgerExplosion mol-le-bp-den-um

  • @ketanovas i'd thumbs up you, if you weren't such a bitchface.
