The operating principle of a molybdenum electrode is based on its unique physical and chemical properties. Molybdenum is a refractory metal that has a high melting point, high thermal conductivity, and excellent mechanical strength.

The mechanical strength of molybdenum ensures that the electrode has a long service life, can withstand mechanical stress, and can be reshaped or repaired if necessary. Furthermore, the high purity of molybdenum ensures that the electrode does not contaminate the glass during the melting process.

High thermal conductivity: Molybdenum has a thermal conductivity of 138 W/mK, enabling efficient and uniform heating in glass melting processes.

High-purity: The high purity of molybdenum ensures that it does not contaminate the molten glass during the melting process, ensuring product quality.

Repair of damaged molybdenum electrodes involves identifying the extent and location of the damage. Minor damage can sometimes be sanded down, while larger damage may require repair welding or replacement. Repair welding involves using a TIG or laser welder to deposit a layer of molybdenum onto the damaged area. Any welding should be performed by a skilled welder to ensure a quality repair.
