Description

Ferromolybdenum is a combination of molybdenum and iron that contains 55-70% molybdenum. One of the purposes of using this ferroalloy is to add molybdenum to steel or cast iron parts because it increases hardness through carbidization. Therefore, it can be considered one of the hardening ferroalloys of heat-treatable alloy steels. Also, adding this ferroalloy to the melt and the presence of the molybdenum element in it increases the corrosion resistance of stainless steels.

Types of ferromolybdenum available in the industry include:

• Grade A ferromolybdenum: 70-65 percent
• Grade B ferromolybdenum: 65-60 percent
• Grade C ferromolybdenum: 60-55 percent

common and Important applications offerromolybdenum:

• Increasing hardness and strength
• Increasing corrosion and wear resistance
• Improving weldability
• Used in the automotive industry for manufacturing engine components, crankshafts, crankshafts, pistons
• Aircraft and military industries
• Manufacturing of machinery and industrial equipment
• Production of superalloys exposed to high temperatures, stainless steels, high-speed steels and tools
• In oil and gas exploration in the production of drilling equipment, pipelines and refinery components
