A developed molybdenum hybrid-alloyed steel powder is based on a molybdenum prealloyed steel powder to which molybdenum powder particles are diffusion bonded. The sintered compact made of this powder has a finer pore structure than that of the conventional molybdenum prealloyed steel powder, because the ferritic iron phase $({\alpha}-phase)$ with a high diffusion coefficient is formed in the sintering necks where molybdenum is concentrated resulting in enhanced sintering. The rolling contact fatigue strength of the sintered and carburized compacts made of this powder improved by a factor of 3.6 compared with that of the conventional powder due to the fine pore structures.

Molybdenum, valued for its high melting point and exceptional physical and chemical properties, is studied in diverse fields such as electronics, petrochemicals, and aviation. Among molybdenum oxides, molybdenum dioxide stands out for its higher electrical conductivity than other transition metal oxides due to its structural characteristics, exhibiting metallic properties. It is applied as pellets to gas sensors, semiconductors, and secondary batteries for its properties. Thus, research on molybdenum dioxide compaction and pressureless sintering is necessary, yet research on pressureless sintering is currently insufficient. This study synthesized MoO₃ powder via solution combustion synthesis and reduced it using the 3% hydrogen/argon gas mixture to investigate the effect of reduction temperature on the powder. Additionally, the reduced powder was compacted and subjected to pressureless sintering with temperature as a variable. The density and the microstructure of brown parts were analyzed and discussed.

We studied the effect of temperature and reaction time by investigating the various temperatures and reaction times in the reduction of molybdenum oxide ($MoO_3$) to molybdenum (Mo) powder in hydrogen gas. We also studied the effect of the reaction of reduction according to the various hydrogen gas flow rates. We surveyed the reduction from molybdenum oxide to molybdenum powder in hydrogen gas and checked two temperature ranges, one from $400^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$ and the other from $700^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$. We found that the reaction ratio of molybdenum oxide increased with an increasing temperature and also increased with an increasing reaction time, but hydrogen gas did not influence the reduction ratio of molybdenum oxide. We examined molybdenum powders fabricated by ball milling for two hours, using with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and a scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

The effect of the preparation factors, such as the feeding mode and rate of raw materials, the reaction temperature and the surfactant on the size distribution of molybdenum trioxide particle were investigated by orthogonal test. The optimum conditions for the preparation of $MoO_3$ precursors are as following; opposite feeding fast, reaction temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ and adding dispersant.

In this study, consolidation behavior and hardness of commercially available molybdenum powder were investigated. In order to analyze compaction response of the powders, the elastoplastic constitutive equation based on the yield function by Shima and Oyane was applied to predict the compact density under uniaxial pressure from 100MPa to 700MPa. The compacts were sintered at $1400-1600^{\circ}C$ for 20-60 min. The sintered density and grain size of molybdenum were increased with increasing the compacting pressure and processing temperature and time. The constitutive equation, proposed by Kwon and Kim, was applied to simulate the creep densification rate and grain growth of molybdenum powder compacts. The calculated results were compared with experimental data for the powders. The effects of the porosity and grain size on the hardness of the specimens were explained based on the modified plasticity theory of porous material and Hall-Petch type equation.

Molybdenum silicide has gained interest for high temperature structural applications. However, poor fracture toughness at room temperatures and low creep resistance at elevated temperatures have hindered its practical applications. This study uses a novel powder metallurgical approach applied to uniformly mixed molybdenum silicide-based composites with silicon carbide. The degree of powder mixing with different ball milling time is also demonstrated by Voronoi diagrams. Core-shell composite powder with Mo nanoparticles as the shell and ${\beta}-SiC$ as the core is prepared via chemical vapor transport. Using this prepared core-shell composite powder, the molybdenum silicide-based composites with uniformly dispersed ${\beta}-SiC$ are fabricated using pressureless sintering. The relative density of the specimens sintered at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 10 h is 97.1%, which is similar to pressure sintering owing to improved sinterability using Mo nanoparticles.

Atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) is world-widely used process in the automotive industry as a method to provide wear resistance coatings for engine cylinder bore, using various materials. The weight of engine blocks can be considerably decreased by removing cast iron liners, which can finally result in the improvement of fuel efficiency. In this study, five kinds of powder materials, 1.2C steel powder and 1.2C steel powder mixed with 5, 10, 15, 20 wt.%. molybdenum powder, were deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying in order to investigate the effect of molybdenum on the wear resistance of coatings. Microstructural analysis showed that molybdenum splats were well distributed in 1.2C steel matrix with intimate bonding. The molybdenum added coatings showed better tribological properties than 1.2C steel coating. However, above the 15 wt.%. blending fraction, wear resistance was somewhat degraded with poor roughness of worn surface due to the brittle fracture occurred in molybdenum splats. Consequently, compared to conventional liner material, gray cast iron, 10 wt. pct. molybdenum blended 1.2C steel coating showed much better tribological properties and therefore it looks very feasible to replace gray cast iron liner.

In this study, a molybdenum alloy with dispersed high-entropy particles was fabricated using the powder metallurgy method. The high-entropy powder, composed of Nb, Ta, V, W, and Zr elements with a same atomic fraction, was prepared via high-energy ball milling. Using this powder, an ideal core-shell powder, composed of high-entropy powder as core and Mo powder as shell, was synthesized via the milling and reduction processes. These processes enabled the realization of an ideal microstructure with the high-entropy phase uniformly dispersed in the Mo matrix. The sintered body was successfully fabricated via uniaxial compaction followed by pressureless sintering. The sintered body was analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope, and the high-entropy phase is uniformly dispersed in the Mo matrix.
