Molybdenum - found in various oxidation states in minerals, is widely used in high-pressure, high-temperature applications and as pigments and catalysts. Its ability to withstand extreme temperatures without expanding or softening makes it valuable in manufacturing aircraft parts, electrical contacts, and industrial motors. Molybdenum is also utilized for its high corrosion resistance and weldability in alloys, with over 43,000 tons used annually in stainless steels, tool steels, cast irons, and high-temperature superalloys.
