Molybdenum electrodes are primarily composed of molybdenum, which is produced through powder metallurgy processes. With a molybdenum content of over 99.95% and a density exceeding 10.15 g/cm3, molybdenum electrodes guarantee the quality of glass and the durability of the electrode.

Molybdenum electrodes find applications in the manufacturing of domestic glass, optical glass, thermal insulation materials, glass fiber, and rare-earth industries.

Operating Principle of Molybdenum Electrode

The operating principle of a molybdenum electrode is based on its unique physical and chemical properties. Molybdenum is a refractory metal that has a high melting point, high thermal conductivity, and excellent mechanical strength.

During glass melting processes, a molybdenum electrode is heated to a high temperature, at which it becomes electrically conductive. The molybdenum electrode is then immersed in the molten glass, and an electric current is passed through it, generating heat and promoting the melting process.

The high melting point of molybdenum ensures that the electrode remains intact and does not melt during the process. The excellent thermal conductivity of molybdenum ensures that heat generated during the process is efficiently transferred through the electrode, ensuring uniform heating of the glass.
