Molybdenum Thermal Spray Powder
Elmet Technologies specializes in high-quality molybdenum thermal spray powder, engineered to boost surface performance and durability. Our spherical, flowable powders create uniform coatings that offer superior protection and restoration for diverse applications. We offer several types of molybdenum thermal spray powders, each known for exceptional wear resistance, heat resistance, and bonding capabilities, making them ideal for challenging environments. They are widely used in applications from large-area protective coatings to the refurbishment of small, precision-engineered metal components.

Our advanced powder metallurgy process ensures all thermal spray powders deposit evenly on substrates. This forms robust, contiguous layers that shield against harsh operating conditions, maintaining structural integrity and functionality in demanding environments. We deliver molybdenum thermal spray powders tailored to meet the technical requirements of industries like aerospace, automotive, and heavy equipment manufacturing.
