HCT Molybdenum Foil
Material below .005 inches in thickness is classified as foil. Typical uses for it are production of drawn parts, electronic components, metalizing sources, furnace insulation and chemically etched parts. Molybdenum foil has the ability to be etched into fine patterns, which makes it useful to the semiconductor industry. Standard availability is described below. Other sizes and tolerances are quoted on request.

Surface Condition
The surface can be supplied in a mirror or matte finish. The options available for the finish are dependent upon thickness and width parameters.
Heat Treatment
Molybdenum flat products are rolled and annealed to provide the optimum condition for the desired end use (Furnace, Punch, Deep Draw).
