TECHNICAL PRODUCT INFORMATION

Etched and Cleaned Molybdenum Wire

Surface Preparation Through Electrochemical Etching

The performance of an ultra-fine molybdenum wire depends on the quality of its surface.

Our electrochemical etching process gently removes surface contaminants and oxide layers while preserving the integrity of the wire. The result is a highly consistent surface finish that improves cleanliness, dimensional precision, and adhesion for subsequent surface engineering processes.

This controlled process enables reliable performance across demanding medical, electronics, aerospace, and industrial applications.

Etched and Cleaned Molybdenum Wire (10–300 µm). Lightweight Fine Wire Performance

At Luma Wire Tech, we manufacture molybdenum wires between 10 and 300 microns in diameter, designed for applications where lightweight strength and high ductility are essential. Molybdenum offers about half the density of tungsten while maintaining impressive thermal stability and tensile strength. 

Our cleaned molybdenum wires are trusted in space, electronics, and scientific applications where plated surfaces are not required. Produced in Sweden under ISO-certified standards, these wires deliver reliability and consistency to advanced industries worldwide.

FAQ – Cleaned Molybdenum Wire

What is cleaned molybdenum wire?
High-purity molybdenum wires that has been surface-treated to remove oxides and impurities. The result is a smooth, contamination-free wire suitable for demanding industrial and scientific applications.

Why choose cleaned molybdenum wire instead of untreated wire?
Cleaned molybdenum wire provides superior surface quality, better conductivity, and improved reliability. It ensures consistent performance in aerospace, electronics, and medical devices where even minor impurities can cause failure.

What industries use molybdenum wire?
It is widely used in aerospace (satellite meshes and structural components), electronics (semiconductors, connectors), medical devices (stents, surgical tools), and R&D (detectors, high-precision instruments).

What diameters are available for these wire?
Luma Wire Tech supplies molybdenum wire in dimensions from 10 to 300 microns, tailored to customer-specific requirements.

How is molybdenum wires manufactured at Luma Wire Tech?
Our wires are produced in Sweden under strict ISO-certified processes, ensuring consistent quality, full traceability, and compliance with international standards.

Can molybdenum wires be customized?
Yes. We offer customized dimensions, spooling options, and integration support to meet the exact specifications of your project.

Is cleaned molybdenum wire corrosion-resistant?
Molybdenum has natural resistance to heat and wear. For environments with high oxidation or corrosion risk, gold-plated molybdenum wire may be recommended.
