During the first World War, demand for molybdenum spiked; it was used both in armor plating and as a substitute for tungsten in high speed steels. Some British tanks were protected by 75 mm manganese steel plating, but this proved to be ineffective.
The manganese steel plates were replaced with 25 mm molybdenum steel plating allowing for higher speed, greater maneuverability, and better protection. The Germans also used molybdenum-doped steel for heavy artillery. This was because traditional steel melted at the heat produced by enough gunpowder to launch a one ton shell.
After the war, demand plummeted until metallurgical advances allowed extensive development of peacetime applications. In World War II, molybdenum again saw strategic importance as a substitute for tungsten in steel alloys.
Benren Alloy Co.Ltd was founded in 1988. Being a national advanced enterprise with the latest production technique, it is the only standard enterprise which produce the series products of V2o5 in Anhui province.
With years' development, it has become a newly high-tech enterprise which involves in the production of Vanadium Pentoxide V2O5,Ammonium Dimolybdate,Molybdenum Bar,Tungsten Bar widely used in the field of steel, chemical, electronics, ceramics and so on.
