I-Molybdenum, into enezakhiwo ezihlukile, idlala indima ebalulekile emikhakheni eminingi yezimboni. Isebenza embonini yensimbi, i-electronics, ukupenda kwezimoto, kanye{1}}nokukhiqiza izingxenye ezisezingeni lokushisa eliphezulu.
Embonini yensimbi, i-molybdenum, njenge-alloying element, ithuthukisa kakhulu amandla ensimbi, ikakhulukazi amandla ayo aphezulu-ezinga lokushisa nokuqina, kuyilapho ithuthukisa ukumelana nokugqwala kwayo ezixazululweni ezine-asidi ne-alkaline nezinsimbi eziwuketshezi. I-Molybdenum iphinde ithuthukise ukumelana nokugqokwa kwensimbi, ukuqina, ukushisela, nokumelana nokushisa, futhi iyisici esihle kakhulu sokwakheka kwe-carbide{2}}.
Ezindaweni zama-elekthronikhi nezikagesi, i-molybdenum, ngenxa yokuhamba kahle kukagesi kanye nezakhiwo-zezinga lokushisa eliphezulu, kanye ne-coefficient yayo yomugqa yokunweba efana neyengilazi, isetshenziswa kakhulu ekwenzeni izingxenye ezifana nama-spiral filaments nezintambo zomthofu kumalambu okukhanya. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-molybdenum wire, esetshenziswa njenge-electrode wire emishinini yokukhipha ugesi esika{2}, isika kahle izinsimbi ezihlukahlukene nezinto ze-carbide, okuvumela ukukhiqizwa kwezingxenye eziyinkimbinkimbi. Ukuzinzile komshini wokukhipha umshini kusiza ukuthuthukisa ukunemba kwesikhunta.
Emdwebeni wezimoto, i-molybdenum iwukhiye wesifutho se-thermal ngenxa yokusebenza kwayo{0}}kwezinga lokushisa eliphezulu kanye nokubopha okuqinile kwensimbi. Isifutho esiminyene asigcini nje ngokuthuthukisa ukumelana nokugqokwa kwendawo egugile kodwa futhi kunikeza indawo enezimbotshana efanelekile yokufaka i-lubricant. Isetshenziswa kabanzi ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza kwezingxenye ezigugile njengezindandatho ze-piston zezimoto namasongo e-synchronizer, futhi ingasetshenziswa ukulungisa izingxenye zemishini ezigugile.
Ekwenzeni{0}}izingxenye zethempelesha eziphezulu, ukuhlanzeka okuphezulu kwe-molybdenum,{1}}ukumelana nezinga eliphezulu{1}}nokushisa okuphezulu, kanye nomfutho womhwamuko ophansi kuyenza ibe inketho ekahle{2}}ezintweni zokushisa eziphezulu zesithando somlilo nezinto zesakhiwo. Ukushisa kwe-Molybdenum wire kusetshenziswa kabanzi ekukhiqizeni i-tungsten, i-molybdenum, ne-carbide enosimende. Ingasetshenziswa ku-hydrogen kanye ne-ammonia ebolile isondele endaweni encibilikayo, futhi ku-nitrogen ifike ku-2000 degree. I-Molybdenum iphinde isetshenziswe ekwenzeni{7}}izinto zokwakha ezinezinga lokushisa eliphezulu njengamashaneli angumhlahlandlela namashubhu ekuncibilikeni kwengilazi, okunciphisa izindleko zokukhiqiza.
