Ferro Molybdenum

Ferro molybdenum is a ferro alloy composed of molybdenum and iron, generally
containing 50-60% molybdenum, is used as an alloy additive for steelmaking. Its
main use is as an addition of molybdenum in steelmaking. Adding molybdenum to
the steel can make the steel have a uniform fine-grained structure, and improve
the hardenability of the steel, which is beneficial to eliminate temper
brittleness. Contact our ferroalloy company for ferro moly price today!

Application of Ferro Molybdenum
The biggest application of ferromolybdenum lies in the production of
ferroalloys according to the content and range of molybdenum. It is suitable
for machine tools and equipment, military equipment, oil refinery oil pipes,
load-bearing parts and rotary maneuvers. As one of the types of refractory
metals, Ferromolybdenum is also used in cars, trucks, locomotives, ships, etc.
In addition, ferromolybdenum is used in stainless steel and heat-resistant
steel is employed by synthetic fuel and chemical plants, heat exchangers,
generators, refinery equipment, pumps, turbine tubes, ship propellers, plastic
and acid storage vessels. Tool steels have a high proportion of ferromolybdenum
in the range and are used for high speed machining parts, cold work tools,
drills, screwdrivers, dies, chisels, heavy castings, balls and drills for
rolling mills, rolls, cylinder blocks, piston rings.

Production Process of Ferro Molybdenum
The main raw material of ferro molybdenum smelting is molybdenite (MoS2).
Molybdenum concentrate is usually roasted by multi-chamber furnace before
smelting to obtain roasted molybdenum ore with sulfur content less than 0.07%.
Ferric molybdenum smelting generally adopts the out - furnace method. The
furnace is a cylinder placed on a sand base, lined with clay bricks, and used
as reducing agent ferrosilicon 75% silicon and a small amount of aluminum
granules. After the charge is added to the barrel once, it is smelted by the
upper ignition method. An initiator (saltpeter, aluminum shavings or MAGNESIUM
shavings) is applied to the material surface. After ignition, there is a fierce
reaction, followed by sedation, slag discharge and tube removal.
Ferromolybdenum ingot is first cooled in the sand nest, then sent to the
cooling room for flushing and cooling, and finally broken and refined. The
metal recovery was 92~99%. Molybdenum oxide block is widely used to replace
ferric molybdenum in steel making industry in recent years.

Features of Ferro Molybdenum
01.
Ferro molybdenum is an amorphous metal additive in the production process that
has a variety of good properties that can be transferred to new alloys.

02.
One of the main advantages of ferric molybdenum alloy is its hardening
properties, so that steel welding is very strong, ferric molybdenum is one of
the country's 5 high melting point metals.

03.
In addition, the addition of ferric molybdenum alloys can improve corrosion
resistance. The properties of ferric molybdenum make it an extra protective
film over other metals and suitable for a variety of products.
