Product Description
Ferro molybdenum ( Ferro moly ) is an extraordinary alloy, ingeniously crafted with iron (Fe) and molybdenum (Mo) at its heart. This high-quality alloy is skillfully created by blending iron with molybdenum sources such as ferrosilicon and premium-grade industrial molybdenum oxide, using advanced furnace techniques. The alloy is often produced with a substantial molybdenum concentration of 50% to 75%, which ensures that ferro molybdenum remains non-hazardous for transport.
Ferro molybdenum is a vital component in steelmaking and cast iron production, significantly enhancing hardenability, strength, and resistance to corrosion. Thanks to molybdenum, this alloy performs superbly under high temperatures, making it the perfect choice for industries such as automotive, construction, petroleum, and natural gas, which require unmatched dependability.

Smelting Method for Ferro Molybdenum:
Ferro molybdenum is primarily produced through the highly effective metal thermal method, ensuring optimal quality and results.
The core raw material for smelting ferro molybdenum is molybdenite (MoS2). Before smelting, molybdenum concentrate typically undergoes oxidative roasting in a multi-hearth furnace, resulting in roasted molybdenum concentrate with a sulfur content reduced to under 0.07%, ensuring superior purity and performance.
The intricate art of smelting Feiyue High Grade Ferro Molybdenum is a testament to precision and excellence, employing a sophisticated external furnace method. This dynamic process utilizes a robust cylindrical furnace, meticulously stationed on a firm sand base, and lined with durable clay bricks to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The charge, a blend of ferrosilicon containing 75% silicon, is skillfully complemented by a precise amount of aluminum granules, which serve as an efficient reducing agent. The smelting journey begins with an expert top ignition method, employing igniters like saltpeter, aluminum shavings, or magnesium shavings, delicately applied to the charge's surface, resulting in a vigorous and controlled ignition. This is seamlessly followed by a calm, steady phase, leading to the careful tapping of slag and the skilful removal of the furnace cylinder. The resulting ferro molybdenum ingots are first expertly cooled in a sand pit, then undergo water-cooling within a specialized cooling chamber, and are finally crushed and refined with utmost precision to ensure premium quality. With impressive metal recovery rates ranging from 92% to 99%, the process is both efficient and sustainable. Furthermore, the rise of oxygen molybdenum briquettes as a superior alternative in the steelmaking industry highlights innovation, offering enhanced performance and quality.
