1. Superior High-Temperature Performance and Structural Integrity: It can operate for extended periods in molten glass above 1500℃, maintaining extremely high mechanical strength and creep resistance. It is not easily softened, bent, or deformed, ensuring stable heating and furnace safety.
2. Excellent Resistance to Molten Glass Corrosion: Molybdenum exhibits relatively stable chemical properties against different types of molten glass (such as soda lime and borosilicates), with a corrosion rate far lower than most metals. This results in a long service life and effectively reduces operating costs.
3. Good Electrical and Thermal Conductivity: Its low resistivity efficiently converts electrical energy into heat. Its good thermal conductivity helps ensure uniform heat distribution within the electrode, reducing the risk of localized overheating.
4. High Purity and Low Contamination: High-purity materials ensure that no harmful impurities are introduced into the molten glass at high temperatures. This is crucial for producing highly transparent, defect-free optical and electronic glass.
