Product Description

Ferro molybdenum ( Ferro moly ) is a remarkable alloy, expertly crafted with iron (Fe) and molybdenum (Mo) as its core components. This high-quality alloy is strategically engineered by fusing iron and molybdenum sources such as ferrosilicon and premium-grade industrial molybdenum oxide within a furnace. The carefully produced alloy typically boasts a formidable molybdenum concentration of 50% to 75%, which ensures that ferro molybdenum is safe and non-hazardous for transportation.

Ferro molybdenum is an essential enhancer in the production of steel and cast iron, providing significant improvements in hardenability, strength, and corrosion resistance. The presence of molybdenum allows this alloy to perform excellently at elevated temperatures, making it the prime choice for the automotive, construction, petroleum, and natural gas industries that demand absolute reliability.

Physical and Chemical Properties of Ferro Molybdenum:
  • Atomic weight of Molybdenum (Mo) : 95.94. Outer electron configuration: 4d5s. Melting point: 2615°C. Boiling point: 4610°C. Density (at 20°C): 10.2 g/cm³.
  • Solid Solutions and Intermetallic Compounds : Molybdenum forms both α and γ solid solutions with iron and establishes two distinct intermetallic compounds, ε (Fe7Mo6) and σ (FeMo), demonstrating its versatile alloying capabilities.
  • Composition : Industrial-grade ferro molybdenum is typically characterized by approximately 60% Mo, a melting temperature range of 1800 to 1900°C, and a density close to 9.0 g/cm³.
  • Role in Steel : Ferro molybdenum is crucial in enhancing a wide range of properties in steel, including hardenability, thermal strength, and resistance to temper embrittlement. It reduces residual magnetism, increases coercivity, and strengthens against corrosive environments, particularly preventing pitting. It finds applications across various steel varieties, such as structural, spring, bearing, tool, stainless acid-resistant, heat-resistant, and magnetic steels.
  • Role in Cast Iron : In cast iron, ferro molybdenum significantly boosts strength and toughness. When added in amounts ranging from 0.25% to 1.25%, it contributes to forming a pearlitic matrix structure in castings with medium to large sections, proving highly beneficial in rolls and other wear-resistant castings.

Smelting Method for Ferro Molybdenum:

Ferro molybdenum is primarily manufactured through the highly efficient metal thermal method, ensuring superior quality and results.
The key 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 below 0.07%, ensuring exceptional purity and performance.
The sophisticated process of smelting ferro molybdenum primarily utilizes an external furnace technique. This intricate operation features a robust cylindrical furnace, expertly positioned on a stable sand base, and meticulously lined with durable clay bricks to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The charge, an exquisite composition of ferrosilicon boasting 75% silicon, is paired with a precise amount of aluminum granules, serving as a highly efficient reducing agent. The smelting journey begins with a top ignition approach, employing igniters such as saltpeter, aluminum shavings, or magnesium shavings applied to the charge's surface, culminating in a vigorous ignition. This dynamic phase gracefully transitions into a serene state, followed by the artful process of slag tapping and the careful removal of the furnace cylinder. The resultant ferro molybdenum ingots first experience cooling in a sand pit, are then water-cooled within a specialized cooling chamber, and finally undergo meticulous crushing and refinement to achieve premium quality. The remarkable metal recovery rates range impressively from 92% to 99%. In recent advancements, oxygen molybdenum briquettes have emerged as a superior alternative in the steelmaking industry, offering exceptional value over traditional ferro molybdenum.

Ferro Molybdenum Price - HSferroalloy

In April, the stainless steel 316 market witnessed a significant price increase, sparking heightened interest and demand from end buyers for ferro molybdenum. This renewed market enthusiasm has reverberated upstream, causing molybdenum concentrate prices to climb and production costs to rise. Despite these factors, ferro molybdenum manufacturers, buoyed by a steady stream of orders, are hesitant to reduce their selling prices. Consequently, the transaction price for ferro molybdenum is progressively ascending, with current bids approaching 220,000 yuan per ton. Occasional spot transactions are being observed within the range of 219,000 to 220,000 yuan per ton. Projections hint at a modest price increase in the forthcoming month.
