Abstract  The block of pure molybdenum was fabricated for the first time by selective electron beam melting. Its impurities, microstructure, density and micro-hardness were tested using chemical analysis, metallurgical microscopy, chemical balance and microhardness tester. The results show that the impurity increments of the as-build pure molybdenum such as C, N, O and H are not more than 0.001%. Using a single-melting process, the microstructure of pure molybdenum along the deposition direction present scoarse columnar crystal characteristics, and there are a few microcracks along the columnar grain boundary. Using a double-melting process, the grain size is refined and the microcrack phenomenon is suppressed. The better selective electron beam double-melting process is as follows: the primary melting current is 12 mA, and the velocity is 0.6 m/s; the secondary melting current is 12 mA, and the velocity is 0.89 m/s. Under the better process, the relative density of the as-build pure molybdenumblock is higher than 99% with a density of (10.15±0.13) g/cm3. The microhardness (HV0.2) is 185-200 and shows no anisotropy.
