Moly spraying is a process used to increase the wear resistance of our aluminium castings.
Moly spraying is a process used to increase the wear resistance of our aluminium castings. ‘Moly’ is the shortened name for molybdenum – a silvery-grey metal that has the sixth highest melting point of any element (2623°C). When added to various alloys, it increases the strength and wear/corrosion resistance of the resultant materials.
Molybdenum’s ability to withstand extreme temperatures makes it ideal for use in aerospace and defence parts. Molybdenum was used extensively in armour plating and tanks during the First World War and is now used in industrial applications – often replacing chromium plating and other techniques.
At Haworth Castings, we use moly spraying for castings that are destined for high-end aerospace applications – where the parts often need to withstand adverse weather conditions and temperatures.
The benefits of this process include:
