Key Application Areas

Luma’s gold plated molybdenum wires are trusted across a wide range of advanced industries where performance cannot fail:

Satellite Reflector Meshes – The first choice for deployable reflector antennas from 1.5 to over 20 meters in diameter. Lightweight yet strong, our wires make compact stowage and precise orbital deployment possible.
Telecommunication & Space Internet – Enabling the new generation of broadband constellations that require ultra-reliable fine wires for Ku-, Ka-, and V-band frequencies.
Earth Observation – Providing high-precision data for soil moisture, vegetation biomass, and climate monitoring missions.
Electronics & Sensors – Used in specialized testing and detection systems that require both stability and conductivity.
Medical Technology Cross-Applications – In select cases, gold-plated molybdenum wires are also adopted for medical imaging and therapeutic equipment where radiopacity and strength are crucial.

Technical Performance of Gold Plated Molybdenum Wire

Molybdenum is valued for its low density (10.22 g/cm³), which makes it approximately half the weight of tungsten. This weight advantage is critical during space launches where mass drives cost. Combined with gold plating, molybdenum wire achieves:

Elasticity and tensile strength suitable for deployable reflector meshes.
Reliable conductivity across Ku-, Ka-, and V-band frequencies.
Durability in long-term orbit with resistance to thermal cycling and radiation exposure.

These properties make gold plated molybdenum wires the benchmark for reflector mesh technology and other weight-sensitive, high-reliability applications.

FAQ – Gold Plated Molybdenum Wire

What are the advantages of gold plated molybdenum wire compared to pure tungsten?
Molybdenum offers lower weight while maintaining high tensile strength. With gold plating, it also achieves superior corrosion resistance and RF performance.

How does gold plating improve performance?
The gold layer prevents corrosion, enhances conductivity, and improves long-term durability, especially in extreme environments like space.

What diameters are available?
Luma supplies gold plated molybdenum wires in diameters from 5 to 200 microns, with custom plating thicknesses available on request.

Is Luma Wire Tech ISO certified?
Yes. All our wires are manufactured in Sweden under strict ISO-certified and ESG-compliant processes, ensuring traceability and quality.
