Copper Inlaid Molybdenum Electrode

The copper-inlaid molybdenum electrodes are composite electrodes, with molybdenum at the tip of the electrode, while a rod of copper or copper chromium zirconium is present to guarantee good conductivity and heat dissipation. This design is created to merge the high melting point, high temperature stability, and arc erosion resistance of molybdenum together with the superior electrical and thermal conductivity of copper to produce efficient results in high temperatures and high current applications. Molybdenum is harder than tungsten; however, it is more prone to cracking during the welding process, so a lot of care and special attention is required when it comes to the welding process. Because of the high level of conductivity coupled with the unique and beneficial heat dissipation found within, it is advantageous in different applications.
