Ferro Molybdenum
Ferro Molybdenum
(Ferromoly) is an alloy primarily composed of iron (Fe) and molybdenum (Mo). It is produced by melting iron and molybdenum sources, typically ferrosilicon and industrial-grade molybdenum oxide, together in a furnace. The resulting alloy typically contains molybdenum in the range of 50% to 75%. Ferro Molybdenum is not classified as a hazardous material for transportation. Ferro Molybdenum is commonly used as an additive in steelmaking and cast iron production. Its addition is aimed at enhancing the hardenability, strength, and corrosion resistance of the final metal products. The presence of molybdenum in the alloy enhances its ability to withstand high temperatures, making it suitable for applications in industries such as automotive, construction, petroleum, and natural gas.
