Product Description

Ferro molybdenum ( Ferro moly ) is a superior alloy, meticulously engineered with iron (Fe) and molybdenum (Mo) as its foundational components. This top-tier alloy is masterfully crafted by melding iron and molybdenum sources such as ferrosilicon and high-quality molybdenum oxide in a furnace. The carefully produced alloy commonly boasts an impressive molybdenum concentration of 50% to 75%, which significantly ensures that ferro molybdenum is safe for transportation, without any hazard implications.

Ferro molybdenum is an essential enhancer for steelmaking and cast iron production, offering substantial improvements in hardenability, strength, and corrosion resistance. The inclusion of molybdenum empowers the alloy to excel at high temperatures, making it the perfect choice for industries such as automotive, construction, petroleum, and natural gas, where reliability is paramount.

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, along with two unique intermetallic compounds, ε (Fe7Mo6) and σ (FeMo), demonstrating its extensive alloying capabilities.
  • Composition : Industrial-grade ferro molybdenum is distinguished by approximately 60% Mo, a melting temperature range of 1800 to 1900°C, and a density around 9.0 g/cm³.
  • Role in Steel : Ferro molybdenum plays a crucial role in enhancing various steel properties, such as hardenability, thermal strength, and resistance to temper embrittlement. It reduces residual magnetism, bolsters coercivity, and strengthens against corrosive environments, notably preventing pitting. Its applications include a wide range of steel types, including structural, spring, bearing, tool, stainless acid-resistant, heat-resistant, and magnetic steels.
  • Role in Cast Iron : In cast iron, ferro molybdenum markedly boosts strength and toughness. When incorporated in quantities ranging from 0.25% to 1.25%, it assists in forming a pearlitic matrix structure in castings with medium to large sections. This characteristic is especially beneficial for rolls and other wear-resistant castings.

Smelting Method for Ferro Molybdenum:

Ferro molybdenum is primarily produced using the highly efficient metal thermal method, ensuring superior outcomes and quality.
The key raw material for smelting ferro molybdenum is molybdenite (MoS2). Before smelting, molybdenum concentrate usually undergoes oxidative roasting in a multi-hearth furnace, resulting in roasted molybdenum concentrate with sulfur content reduced to less than 0.07%, ensuring exceptional purity and performance.
The intricate art of smelting ferro molybdenum predominantly employs the sophisticated external furnace method. This remarkable process involves the use of a robust cylindrical furnace that is expertly stationed on a firm sand base, meticulously lined with durable clay bricks to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The charge introduced into this process comprises high-quality ferrosilicon with an impressive 75% silicon content, complemented by a modest amount of aluminum granules that act as an exceptionally proficient reducing agent. The smelting process is initiated with a state-of-the-art top ignition method, employing an igniter such as saltpeter, aluminum shavings, or magnesium shavings, which are skillfully applied to the charge's surface, leading to a vigorous and efficient ignition. This is succeeded by a tranquil phase, followed by the precise process of slag tapping, and the meticulous removal of the furnace cylinder. The resulting ferro molybdenum ingots first undergo a controlled cooling process in a sand pit, then are efficiently water-cooled within a specialized cooling chamber, and finally crushed and refined to achieve premium quality. Metal recovery rates impressively range from 92% to 99%, underscoring the efficacy of this method. Recently, oxygen molybdenum briquettes have gained traction as a superior substitute for ferro molybdenum, particularly within the innovative steelmaking industry.

Ferro Molybdenum Price - HSferroalloy

In April, the price of stainless steel 316 experienced a notable upswing, invigorating end buyers' interest and demand for ferro molybdenum. This surge in market confidence has rippled upstream, with molybdenum concentrate prices on the rise, contributing to increased production costs. Amidst this, ferro molybdenum manufacturers, buoyed by a robust influx of orders, are reluctant to lower their selling prices. As a result, the transaction price for ferro molybdenum is on a steady incline, with current bids nearing 220,000 yuan per ton. Occasional spot transactions are being reported within the range of 219,000 to 220,000 yuan per ton. Future forecasts suggest a slight price escalation in the coming month.
