Product Description

Ferro molybdenum ( Ferro moly ) is a highly specialized alloy primarily composed of iron (Fe) and molybdenum (Mo). This top-quality alloy is expertly crafted by melting iron and molybdenum sources-typically ferrosilicon and industrial-grade molybdenum oxide-in a state-of-the-art furnace. The resultant alloy generally features a robust molybdenum content ranging from 50% to 75% . Crucially, ferro molybdenum is deemed non-hazardous for transportation, ensuring safe handling and delivery.

Ferro molybdenum is an indispensable additive in the steelmaking and cast iron production sectors. When incorporated, it dramatically boosts the hardenability, strength, and corrosion resistance of the final metal products. The rich molybdenum content within the alloy empowers it to endure extreme temperatures, making it perfect for challenging applications across the automotive, construction, petroleum, and natural gas industries.

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, along with two intermetallic compounds, ε (Fe7Mo6) and σ (FeMo), each offering distinct structural benefits.
  • Composition : Industrial-grade ferro molybdenum generally comprises around 60% Mo, exhibiting a melting temperature range between 1800 and 1900°C, and possessing a density of approximately 9.0g/cm³.
  • Role in Steel : Ferro molybdenum is pivotal in enhancing hardenability, thermal strength, resistance to temper embrittlement, residual magnetism, coercivity, and resistance to corrosive environments, notably preventing pitting. It sees extensive use in various steel compositions, including structural, spring, bearing, tool, stainless acid-resistant, heat-resistant, and magnetic steels.
  • Role in 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 develop a pearlitic matrix structure in castings with medium to large sections, proving particularly advantageous in rolls and other wear-resistant castings.

Smelting Method for Ferro Molybdenum

Ferro molybdenum is customarily produced via the highly efficient metal thermal method, ensuring a superior quality product.
The principal raw material for smelting ferro molybdenum is molybdenite (MoS2). Prior to smelting, molybdenum concentrate usually undergoes oxidative roasting in a multi-hearth furnace, yielding roasted molybdenum concentrate with a sulfur content of less than 0.07%, ensuring purity and excellence in final production.
The smelting of Ferro Molybdenum typically employs an advanced external furnace method. This sophisticated cylindrical furnace, nestled on a base of sand, is expertly crafted with clay brick lining. The charge introduced includes ferrosilicon with a high 75% silicon content, accompanied by a precise dose of aluminum granules serving as an efficient reducing agent. Smelting commences through an innovative top ignition technique: surface igniters, such as saltpeter, aluminum shavings, or magnesium shavings, spark an intense ignition. Following this energetic start, the process enters a tranquil phase, during which slag tapping occurs, culminating in the removal of the furnace cylinder. The resulting Ferro Molybdenum ingots undergo an initial sand pit cooling, transition to water cooling in a specialized chamber, and then move on to crushing and refining. An impressive metal recovery rate ranging from 92% to 99% is achieved. Recently, oxygen molybdenum briquettes have gained popularity as a modern alternative to ferro molybdenum in the ever-evolving steelmaking industry.
