Molybdenum increases the corrosion resistance of this chromium-nickel alloy to withstand attack by many industrial chemicals and solvents, and, in particular, inhibits pitting caused by chlorides. As such, molybdenum is one of the single most useful alloying additives in the fight against corrosion.
Molibdenum nagpapataas kaagnasan paglaban ng kromo na ito-magtubog sa nikel haluang metal upang makatiis ng pag-atake ng maraming mga pang-industriya kemikal at solvents, at, sa partikular, inhibits pitting sanhi ng chlorides.Dahil dito, ang molibdenum ay isa ng isang pinaka-kapaki-pakinabang alloying additives sa paglaban sa kaagnasan.
