A dark gray or black lustrous powder, molybdenum was confused with graphite and lead ore before being recognized as a new element. The metal, silvery-white, is very hard, but is softer and more ductile than tungsten. Molybdenum has a high melting point, good resistance to corrosion, excellent wear and abrasion resistance, good electrical and thermo conducting properties. It is valuable for alloying, as it improves harden-ability and toughness of quenched and tempered steels.
