U.S. consumption of molybdenum in steel applications dropped about 10 percent in 1998
Usually in the manufacture of steel.

They are usually steel, or aluminum for light weight shoes. Steel may contain small amounts of molybdenum, but not always.
Molybdenum
VG5 is a stainless steel with 0.7% of carbon, 13% of chromium and 0.2 of molybdenum. It is a very fine grain steel
CrMoV steel is a heat resistant steel typically used in applications such as shafts and fasteners used in high temperature service. The chromium is used in this steel to increase resistance to corrosion and oxidation, to impart high temperature strength and to increase the hardenability. The molybdenum addition also imparts higher hardenability and increases high temperature tensile and creep strengths. The vanadium addition inhibits grain growth during heat treating while improving strength and toughness. This steel is referenced in the industry specification AMS 6304.
The stainless steel grades includes carbon steel, manganese steel, nickel steel, nickel-chromium steel, and molybdenum steel. The content of carbon in the different steel grades varies.

Iron, Chromium, Nickel, Steel, Nitrogen, and Molybdenum Iron is the main element of stainless steel, Chromium is a metal that stalls the oxidization of iron. Nickel increases the corrosive resistance further and can protect stainless steel from rough usage and harsh environmental conditions. Pitting or scarring is avoided by adding molybdenum to steel.
Molybdenum is not a rock, but rather a mineral. It is a chemical element, as well. It has the 6th highest melting point of all the elements, and is used in high strength steel. Molybdenum is also a vital mineral in higher animals.
Steel always contains iron and carbon, and often contains cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, or other metals.
It is a self drilling, self tapping screw for steel to steel applications. For wood to steel applications, there are reamer tek screws available.
