Ferromolybdenum is an alloy composed of iron and molybdenum. It typically contains between 60% to 75% of molybdenum and is used as an additive in the production of various types of steels. The addition of ferromolybdenum to steel can improve its strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance.
Ferromolybdenum is produced through a process called aluminothermic reduction, where a mixture of molybdenum oxide and iron oxide is reacted with aluminum powder in a high-temperature furnace. The resulting product is then crushed and screened to produce the desired particle size.
Ferromolybdenum is widely used in the production of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels, stainless steels, and tool steels. It is also used as a catalyst in the petrochemical industry and as an additive in the production of cast iron.
One of the key advantages of ferromolybdenum is its ability to improve the high-temperature performance of steel, making it ideal for use in high-temperature applications such as gas turbines, boilers, and pressure vessels. It also improves the corrosion resistance of steel, making it suitable for use in harsh environments such as offshore oil and gas platforms.
Ferromolybdenum is typically available in the form of briquettes or powder and is sold by metal suppliers and distributors.
