Introduction to FeMo

FeMo is an iron alloy consisting of molybdenum and iron, generally containing 50-70% molybdenum, and is used as an alloying additive in steelmaking. Ferro Molybdenum is an alloy of molybdenum and iron. Its main use is as a molybdenum additive in steelmaking. Adding molybdenum to steel gives it a uniform fine grain organisation, improves its hardenability, helps eliminate temper brittleness, and alloys with special physical properties. Adding molybdenum to cast iron improves its strength and wear resistance.

Introduction to ferromolybdenum 70-2

The most basic definition of the ferromolybdenum production process is that molybdenum is first mined and then converted into molybdenum(VI) oxide MOO3, which turns into a mixed oxide with iron and aluminium oxides, and then reduced in an aluminothermal reaction. Electronically East Melting then purifies the ferromolybdenum, or the product can be packed as is. Typically, fine powders are used to produce ferro molybdenum alloys, and ferro molybdenum is commonly shipped in bags or shipping steel drums.

Specification and particle size: natural lump, 10-100mm, powder or according to customer's requirement.

Packing: one metric tonne in a big bag or according to customer's requirement

Uses of ferromolybdenum 70-2

The greatest application of Ferro Molybdenum is in the production of ferro alloys depending on the molybdenum content and range, which are used in machine tools and equipment, military equipment, refinery tubing, load bearing parts and rotating manoeuvres. Ferro Molybdenum is also used in cars, trucks, locomotives and ships. In addition, ferro-molybdenum is used in stainless and heat-resistant steels that are employed by synthetic fuels and within chemical plants, heat exchangers, generators, refinery equipment, pumps, turbine tubes, ship propellers, plastics and acids, and storage containers. Tool steels with a high proportion of ferro-molybdenum range are used for high-speed machined parts, cold work tools, drills, screwdrivers, moulds, chisels, heavy castings, balls and mills, rolls, cylinder blocks, piston rings and large drill bits.
