Presentation Abstract:
This presentation will introduce Climax Molybdenum’s role in the molybdenum and take you through the production and markets we serve.
Ramsay will briefly review some of the newest research work using conservative levels Molybdenum in conjunction with other alloying elements to produce enhanced microstructures and consequently properties such as strength, toughness and hydrogen resistance. Finally, he will discuss “Bainite Hardenability”, a term coined by Pickering in 1967, describing the effects of Molybdenum on continuous cooling transformation diagrams to predict microstructure.
