Molybdenum wire adopts advanced hot-cold drawing to process high-quality molybdenum raw materials into filaments. It is used as an electrode for WEDM machine tool ,processing workpieces. Molybdenum wire mainly refers to a kind of consumable material ,which is made of precious metals such as molybdenum when WEDM is processed with high voltage electric field ,moving continuously to cut the workpiece. It can remove the workpiece by pulse spark discharge and cut the metal into shape.
The advantages and characteristics of white molybdenum wire are as follows:
1. Clean surface, no graphite layer and molybdenum oxide layer, is conducive to maintaining a good working condition of discharge channel, reducing wire breakage, patches and other phenomena, and improving the stability of wire cutting.
2. With high tensile strength and low elongation, it can adapt to high tension and discharge impact in WEDM, reduce wire vibration, improve cutting quality, and reduce tightening operation and wire breakage.
3. Internal stress is small, straight or curved ring, not twisted, easy to operate.
4. Work starts quickly and can work quickly after wire loading, which is beneficial to improve the utilization rate of WEDM working hours.
5. Prolonging the service life of working fluid is beneficial to reducing the cost of wire cutting and also reducing the discharge of waste liquid.
Molybdenum is less abundant on the earth, and its content is only 0.001% of the crust weight. Molybdenum has good conductivity and high temperature resistance, and its thermal expansion coefficient is similar to that of glass. It is widely used to manufacture core wires, lead wires and hooks of spiral filaments.In addition, molybdenum wire is also an ideal electrode wire for WEDM machine tools. It can cut all kinds of steel and cemented carbide. Its discharge machining is stable and can effectively improve the accuracy of dies. The application of molybdenum in iron and steel industry is the most important, accounting for about 80% of the total consumption of molybdenum.As an alloying element of steel, molybdenum can improve the strength, especially the high temperature strength and toughness of steel; improve the corrosion resistance of steel in acid-base solution and liquid metal; improve the wear resistance and hardenability, weldability and heat resistance of steel. Molybdenum is a good element for carbide formation. It is not oxidized during steelmaking. It can be used alone or in conjunction with other alloying elements.
Molybdenum has high purity, high temperature resistance, low vapor pressure and other characteristics, which make it often used to manufacture high temperature furnace heaters and structural materials.
