It makes engine components for aircraft and rockets, such as combustion chambers, turbines, and tail fins. In addition, molybdenum boride can also be used to manufacture aircraft structural and internal parts, such as seats and cabin interiors. 

Automotive manufacturing: Molybdenum boride is also widely used in automotive manufacturing. It is used to make components for automotive engines and transmissions, such as pistons, gears, and shafts. Molybdenum boride's high temperature and wear resistance make it an ideal material for automotive parts. 

Electronics: Molybdenum boride is widely used because of its good electrical properties. It is used to manufacture semiconductor devices, integrated circuit boards, and electronic components and connectors. Molybdenum boride's stability and high electrical conductivity make it an excellent material for electronic devices. 

Chemical industry: In the chemical industry, molybdenum boride is used to manufacture components for chemical reactors and high-temperature catalysts. Due to its corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability, molybdenum boride has become an important material in the chemical industry. 

Military: Due to its high hardness and wear resistance, molybdenum boride is also widely used in the military. It is used to manufacture armored vehicles, tanks, and other key military equipment parts to improve their protection and strike capabilities.

Melting method: 

Melting method is one of the main methods of molybdenum boride production. The process is to melt metal elements (such as molybdenum and boron) at high temperatures and react under high temperatures and pressure to produce molybdenum boride. The specific steps are as follows: 

(1) The metal elements (such as molybdenum boron) are melted into liquids. 

(2) The two molten metal elements are mixed and react under high temperature and pressure. 

(3) By controlling the reaction temperature and pressure, the atomic ratio of molybdenum and boron reaches the required ratio to form molybdenum boride. 

(4) Molybdenum boride is separated from the reaction system for cooling and processing. 

The advantages of the melting method are a simple process and low production cost, which is suitable for large-scale production. However, this method also has some disadvantages, such as difficulty in controlling the crystal structure and phase composition of molybdenum boride and low purity and accuracy of the product. 

Vapor deposition method: 

Vapor deposition is an advanced method to prepare molybdenum boride, formed on the substrate by chemical reaction or physical deposition under a vacuum or inert gas protection. The specific steps are as follows: 

(1) Place the substrate under vacuum or inert gas protection. 

(2) The atoms or molecules of molybdenum and boron are activated by heating or plasma activation. 

(3) The atoms or molecules of molybdenum and boron form a film on the matrix through chemical reactions or physical deposition. 

(4) Control the reaction time and temperature so that the thickness and chemical composition of the film meet the required requirements. 

The advantage of vapor deposition is that molybdenum boride coating with high purity, high density, and high binding force can be prepared, and crystal structure as well as chemical makeup of the products are precisely as well as the chemical composition and crystal structure of the product, can be precisely controlled. However, this method requires expensive equipment and high production costs and is unsuitable for mass production.
