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.

Key Features:

• High ductility after heat exposure
• Excellent solderability and corrosion resistance
• Lightweight alternative to tungsten
• Customisable gold thickness and surface finish
• Clean, uniform plating using proprietary equipment
