The 9 pages that link to Molybdenum, each with the reason it gives.

• Stainless steelRelated: It improves resistance to chloride-induced pitting in grades such as 316.

• Carl Wilhelm ScheeleRelated: Scheele identified molybdenum as distinct from graphite and lead ores in 1778.

• TungstenCompared with: Molybdenum shares high-temperature uses but melts substantially below tungsten.

• NitrogenaseRelated: Molybdenum occupies the active-site cofactor in the most widespread nitrogenase type.

• VanadiumRelated: Molybdenum shares vanadium’s steel and catalysis applications.

• TechnetiumRelated: Molybdenum-99 decays into technetium-99m, supplying most medical technetium.

• MolybdeniteBroader topic: Molybdenite is the main mineral source of this metal.

• Molybdenum disulfideRelated: Molybdenum forms the metal sublattice in MoS₂ and gives the compound its name.

• RheniumCompared with: Molybdenum is a more abundant, lower-cost alloying metal that shares some high-temperature roles.
