Ferro Molybdenum

Ferro Molybdenum prevents corrosion in stainless steels, and when mixed with iron, the Molybdenum also strengthens and hardens into austenite. Ferro Molybdenum is mainly produced by Alumino Thermit Process. Moly Oxide, which is the raw material is produced in Chile. Ferro Molybdenum is produced in India, China, Iran & Europe
Ferro Molybdenum Applications
Ferro Molybdenum is added to an alloy due to its hardening properties that makes steel extremely strong and at the same time weldable. Ferro Molybdenum also helps in increasing the Corrosion resistance. The largest practical applications of Ferro Molybdenum are its use in ferrous alloys, and depending on the molybdenum content range, it is suited for machine tools and equipment, military hardware, refinery tubing, load-bearing parts and rotary drills. Ferro Molybdenum is also used in cars, trucks, locomotives and ships. In addition, Ferro Molybdenum is used in stainless and heat-resisting steels that are employed by synthetic fuel and chemical plants, heat exchangers, power generators, oil-refining equipment, pumps, turbine tubing, ship propellers, plastics and inside acid storage containers. Tool steels, with a high percentage range of Ferro Molybdenum, are used in high-speed machining parts, cold work tools, drill bits, screwdrivers, dies, chisels, heavy castings, ball and rolling mills, rolls, cylinder blocks, piston rings and large drill bits.
