Titanium is one of the most important materials that is used in many applications today. It has been over 200 years since titanium was discovered, but it was only in the late 1940's that it was used for commercial and industrial applications.

Molybdenum alloys are in much used today because of some specific qualities of molybdenum. Its unique chemical and mechanical properties pave the way for production of various kinds of alloys.

Molybdenum is referred to as a refractory metal. This is an uncommon metal that boasts amazing resistance to heat and other unique physical characteristics.

Tungsten is known to be a fairly rare metal and when it is used on its own it has incredible strength. Wolframite and scheelite are some of the ores that are found in it and is only to be found in a natural form in chemical compounds.

Discovered in 1778 in Sweden, by Carl Welhelm Scheele, Molybdenum is a component of a mineral contained in an ore. Carl’s molybdenum research entailed an ore called molybdenite. His conclusion was that the ore did not possess any lead traces.

Molybdenum is a metal that has many sophisticated uses. Often called Moly, molybdenum metal was discovered by Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1778. Its name is derived from the Greek word: molybdos. The English translation of the word molybdos is lead-like.

1.      Element I: tungsten Tungsten is a metallic element denoted by symbol W and has atomic number 74. This element was first identified as a new element in the year 1781 and as an isolated element in 1783.

When an incredibly strong item is required then titanium metal is a product that will fit the bill. Although Ti is as strong as steel metal, it only has a low density and it has the additional benefit of not being a metal that suffers from corrosion.

Tungsten is a grayish white metal with a lustrous appearance in its elemental form. This metal was discovered in 1781 by Torbern Bergman. In 1983 it was first isolated. It has the highest melting point of all known metals.

Molybdenum (Mo) is an element which naturally occurs on the earth's surface that has one of the highest melting points among all the elements.
