MOLYBDENUM · GLASS-MELTING ELECTRODES · MESH
Specify a glass-melting electrode, a plate or bar configuration, or a custom mesh geometry. Review the published material references, dimensions and connection details before sending your drawing and operating requirements.
Review the rod, bar and plate references, including thread and dimensional options. Send the finished drawing, glass or process details and connection requirements.
Specify the material, mesh opening, strand or wire dimensions, overall geometry and connection details. Other mesh metals are separately specified options.
| Parameter | Catalogue reference / requirement |
|---|---|
| Material references | Molybdenum; catalogue Mo-1 / Mo-2 designations. Confirm chemistry and grade for the ordered product. |
| Main purity reference | Mo 99.95% minimum for the main listing. Configuration-specific table references below must be confirmed separately. |
| Density reference | 9.8–10.2 g/cm³; confirm the offered material state and required density. |
| Published size envelope | Diameter 16–200 mm × length 200–3,000 mm; custom dimensions require review. |
| Published hardness references | HRA 47 minimum for sintered material; HRA 50 minimum for press-worked material. Confirm the condition and hardness-test requirements. |
| Material standard reference | ASTM B387 / B387M for bar, rod and wire. Specify the grade and ordered edition; a finished electrode also requires its drawing and acceptance criteria. |
The main size and material references describe catalogue options. Confirm the actual geometry, material condition, quantity, tolerances and documents for the selected order.
| Parameter | Catalogue reference / requirement |
|---|---|
| Material and purity | Molybdenum; published Mo 99.95% minimum. |
| Density reference | 9.8–10.2 g/cm³; confirm the selected material condition. |
| Geometry | Overall size and mesh size may be customised; provide the opening and strand/wire dimensions. |
| Other listed mesh materials | Tungsten, titanium, nickel, copper, aluminum, silver and stainless steel. Define the material independently; Mo specifications do not apply to these alternatives. |
The existing form table includes different purity and density references for different configurations, including the bar entry above 99.93% Mo. Select the specific acceptance limits for your order rather than applying one value to every electrode.

Confirm thread designation, diameter tolerance, ordered length and the meaning and units of the published length-tolerance entry against your drawing. Table entries are references, not confirmation of stock or universal interchangeability.
The existing catalogue discusses daily-use glass, optical glass, insulation materials and glass fibre. Include glass composition, process temperature, immersed and exposed geometry, mounting and electrical requirements in the RFQ.
For the catalogue rare-earth processing application, identify the process material, temperature, electrical duty, assembly geometry and contamination limits. Compatibility requires application-specific review.
For the catalogue glass-service example at 1,300°C, review glass chemistry, oxygen exposure, startup/shutdown conditions and the actual thermal and electrical cycle. Temperature suitability, oxidation protection and electrode life depend on the assembly and operating conditions.
Include the finished geometry, connection or thread details, surface, material condition, quantity and requested inspection records.
The catalogue describes foam protection and plywood containers. Confirm the packing arrangement, surface protection and delivery requirements for your order.
Provide the complete drawing, material requirement, diameter or section, length, connection details, tolerances and quantity. Feasibility and the proposed inspection scope are confirmed for the selected configuration.
Use your process and contamination requirements to define chemistry and acceptance limits. The main listing, form table and catalogue grade labels contain different references; identify the selected grade and requested certificate explicitly.
Include glass chemistry, process temperature, immersed and exposed geometry, electrical duty, mounting and startup/shutdown conditions. The selected electrode and any required oxidation protection need an application-specific review.
Specify the metal, opening size, strand or wire dimensions, overall shape, thickness, attachment or connection features, operating medium and quantity. Other mesh metals require their own material specification.
Review round stock and drawing-based rod configurations before defining an electrode blank or connection geometry.
Review flat-stock and disc references when the electrode or support geometry starts from plate.
Send a finished drawing for a geometry-specific material, machining and inspection review.
Background on mesh structures and material choices to help define the metal and geometry for your project.
Review Mo, TZM and catalogue grade terminology before specifying chemistry, condition and acceptance documents.
Send the material grade, dimensions or mesh requirements, connections, quantity and drawing. Include the process, operating cycle and inspection documents required for your order.
