Ferro molybdenum is predominantly crafted through the highly efficient metal thermal method, ensuring unparalleled results and quality.
The primary raw material for smelting ferro molybdenum is molybdenite (MoS2). Prior to smelting, molybdenum concentrate undergoes oxidative roasting in a multi-hearth furnace, resulting in a roasted molybdenum concentrate with sulfur content reduced to less than 0.07%, guaranteeing superior purity and performance for industrial applications.
Discover the intricate and masterful art of smelting ferro molybdenum with our state-of-the-art external furnace technology. This sophisticated technique utilizes a robust cylindrical furnace, strategically placed on a solid sand foundation and fortified with durable clay bricks for unparalleled performance. At the heart of the process lies a meticulously crafted charge of ferrosilicon, boasting an impressive 75% silicon, complemented by a precise amount of aluminum granules which act as an exceptional reducing agent. The grandeur of the smelting process is brought to life with a top ignition method, employing igniters such as saltpeter, aluminum shavings, or magnesium shavings, meticulously applied to the charge's surface for a dramatic and vigorous ignition. Following this, a serene phase ensues, allowing for the careful tapping of slag and the meticulous removal of the furnace cylinder. Our ferro molybdenum ingots are first allowed to cool naturally in a sand pit, then undergo water cooling within a specialized chamber, culminating in a refined crushing process that ensures premium quality. The exceptional metal recovery rates range impressively from 92% to 99%. Recently, the steelmaking industry has witnessed a surge in the popularity of oxygen molybdenum briquettes, acclaimed as a superior alternative to traditional ferro molybdenum.
Ferromolybdenum emerges as an essential additive, integral to steel production and the creation of corrosion-resistant alloys, carving out a crucial role in the realm of modern metallurgy.
As a pivotal alloy of molybdenum and iron, ferro molybdenum primarily serves as an indispensable molybdenum additive in the steelmaking process. Its incorporation results in a uniform, fine-grained structure and a substantial enhancement of hardenability, effectively countering temper embrittlement. In high-speed steels, molybdenum can partially replace tungsten. When synergized with other alloying elements, it finds extensive use in the production of stainless steel, heat-resistant steel, acid-resistant steel, tool steel, and special alloys with unique physical properties. Introducing molybdenum into cast iron significantly elevates its strength and wear resistance.
Ferro molybdenum stands as a pivotal element in the realm of iron alloy production, celebrated for its specific molybdenum content and broad utility. This essential alloying agent plays a crucial role in crafting machine tools and military equipment and finds extensive use in refinery oil pipes, load-bearing structures, and rotary drills. Its remarkable versatility extends its application to automobiles, trucks, locomotives, ships, and beyond. In the production of stainless steel and heat-resistant steel, ferro molybdenum is indispensable, forming the backbone of synthetic fuel and chemical plants, heat exchangers, generators, refinery systems, pumps, turbine pipes, ship propellers, and storage vessels for both plastics and acids. Within tool steels, the significant presence of ferro molybdenum elevates the performance of high-speed machining tools, cold-working implements, drills, screwdrivers, molds, chisels, and in the crafting of heavy castings, rolling balls and mills, rollers, cylinder blocks, and piston rings.
April witnessed a significant upswing in the price trajectory of stainless steel 316, sparking renewed interest and demand surge from end buyers for ferro molybdenum. This revitalized market confidence has triggered an upstream effect, with molybdenum concentrate prices on the rise, adding pressure on production costs. Amidst this dynamic landscape, ferro molybdenum manufacturers, buoyed by a strong influx of orders, remain steadfast in their pricing strategies, showing reluctance to lower selling prices. Consequently, the transaction price for ferro molybdenum continues its upward journey, with current bids approaching 220,000 yuan per ton and spot transactions occasionally recorded between 219,000 to 220,000 yuan per ton. Looking ahead, market forecasts hint at a modest price escalation in the upcoming month.
