Tungsten lamp filaments, which operate at temperatures in the range of 2400° C, are successfully mounted on molybdenum wires; the wire acting both as a heat sink and a support while lowering the temperature at the support junction. Likewise, molybdenum sees wide use in the construction of power tube grids and support structures which also require high temperature strength, low vapor pressure and low thermal expansion. High temperature vacuum and hydrogen atmosphere furnaces also rely on the use of molybdenum rod and molybdenum wire to form resistance heating elements.
