Molybdenum never appears in natural element state and always combine with other elements.

Although many molybdenum minerals have been discovered, only molybdenite (MoS2) - a natural sulfide of molybdenum has industrial exploitation value. In the deposit, molybdenite often combines with sulfide of other metals (especially copper).

Molybdenum resources are mainly distributed in the Western Mountain of North and South America. The United States is the biggest country to produce molybdenum and also the largest country which has molybdenum reserves. The molybdenum reserves of America accounts for almost half of the global total molybdenum reserves.

Molybdenum is one kind of metallic element and molybdenum is mainly used in the iron and steel industry. Most of molybdenum is directly used to make steel and cast iron in form of industrial molybdenum oxide after being pressed into cake. A small amount of molybdenum is smelted into ferro-molybdenum and molybdenum foil to be used for make steel.

Molybdenum not only can enhance the intensity, hardness, toughness and weldability of alloy, but also is able to enhance high temperature strength and corrosion resistance.
Although molybdenum is mainly used in iron and steel field, because of  molybdenum having many excellent features, which makes more and more molybdenum be used in other alloy field and chemical field.
Experiments show that molybdenum compounds have low toxicity, which is also on of distinguishing features of molybdenum compared with other heavy metals.
