Molybdenum Tube

Molybdenum tubes and pipes with high melting and boiling points, high-temperature and corrosion resistance and low thermal expansion. Sintered as one piece — no bonding — with a polished silver finish. Used for electron-tube parts, furnace heaters, thermocouple protection tubes, sapphire-furnace supports and the solar industry. Outer diameter, inner diameter and length custom to your drawing.
