Product Description

Ferro molybdenum ( Ferro moly ) is an exceptional alloy primarily consisting of iron (Fe) and molybdenum (Mo). This superior-grade alloy is crafted through a meticulous process of melting iron and molybdenum sources-typically ferrosilicon and high-grade molybdenum oxide-in a furnace. The resulting alloy often presents a molybdenum concentration ranging from 50% to 75% . Notably, for transport and handling, ferro molybdenum is regarded as non-hazardous.

Ferro molybdenum is an indispensable additive in steelmaking and cast iron production. Its integration significantly boosts the hardenability, strength, and corrosion resistance of the final metal products. The alloy's molybdenum content enables it to endure high temperatures, making it ideal for high-demand applications in the automotive, construction, petroleum, and natural gas sectors.

Distinguished 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): 10.2g/cm³.
  • Solid Solutions and Intermetallic Compounds : Molybdenum forms both α and γ solid solutions with iron, leading to two intermetallic compounds, ε (Fe7Mo6) and σ (FeMo).
  • Composition : Industrial-grade ferro molybdenum generally contains around 60% Mo, with a melting temperature range between 1800 and 1900°C, and a density of approximately 9.0g/cm³.
  • Significance in Steel Production : Ferro molybdenum greatly enhances hardenability, thermal strength, resistance to temper embrittlement, residual magnetism, coercivity, and resistance to corrosive media, especially in preventing pitting. It is extensively applied in a variety of steel types, including structural, spring, bearing, tool, stainless acid-resistant, heat-resistant, and magnetic steels.
  • Impact on Cast Iron : Ferro molybdenum significantly boosts the strength and toughness of cast iron. When added in quantities of 0.25% to 1.25%, it can establish a pearlitic matrix structure in castings of medium to large sections, proving especially beneficial in rolls and other wear-resistant castings.

Advanced Smelting Method for Ferro Molybdenum

Ferro molybdenum is typically produced using the highly efficient metal thermal method.
The primary raw material for smelting ferro molybdenum is molybdenite (MoS2). Before smelting, molybdenum concentrate commonly undergoes oxidative roasting in a multi-hearth furnace, resulting in roasted molybdenum concentrate with a sulfur content reduced to less than 0.07%.
Embrace the dynamic process of ferro molybdenum smelting, where the magic unfurls within an external furnace method. This cylindrical marvel, nestled on a sand base and cloaked with sturdy clay bricks, becomes the crucible for transformation. The meticulous charge, infused with 75% silicon ferrosilicon and a touch of aluminum granules as a potent reducing agent, sets the stage. The ignition ritual begins from the top, where an igniter - be it saltpeter, aluminum shavings, or magnesium shavings - breathes life into the charge, initiating a vibrant ignition. This symphony of smelting proceeds with a tranquil interlude, followed by the tapping of the slag and the graceful removal of the furnace cylinder. The journey of the ferro molybdenum ingots continues as they gently cool in a sand pit, then transition to water-cooling in a specialized chamber, culminating in a refined crushing process. An impressive metal recovery rate of 92% to 99% stands testament to this efficient process. In the progressive arena of steelmaking, oxygen molybdenum briquettes are now recognized as a favored alternative to traditional ferro molybdenum.
