Product Description

Ferro molybdenum ( Ferro moly ) is an exceptional alloy, meticulously engineered with iron (Fe) and molybdenum (Mo) as its core components. This premium alloy is masterfully crafted by fusing iron and molybdenum sources like ferrosilicon and top-tier industrial molybdenum oxide within a furnace. The resultant alloy is often endowed with a robust molybdenum concentration of 50% to 75%, which crucially renders ferro molybdenum non-hazardous for transportation.

Ferro molybdenum stands as an essential enhancer in the realms of steelmaking and cast iron production, delivering remarkable improvements in hardenability, strength, and corrosion resistance. Molybdenum's presence empowers the alloy to perform exceptionally well at elevated temperatures, making it an optimal choice for industries like automotive, construction, petroleum, and natural gas, which demand the utmost reliability.

Smelting Method for Ferro Molybdenum:

Ferro molybdenum is predominantly manufactured through the highly efficient metal thermal method, ensuring optimal results and premium quality.
The fundamental raw material for smelting ferro molybdenum is molybdenite (MoS2). Prior to smelting, molybdenum concentrate typically undergoes oxidative roasting in a multi-hearth furnace, resulting in roasted molybdenum concentrate with a sulfur content reduced to less than 0.07%, guaranteeing superior purity and performance.
The intricate and masterful art of smelting ferro molybdenum primarily utilizes the sophisticated external furnace method, ensuring exceptional results. This process features a robust cylindrical furnace strategically placed on a stable sand foundation, lined with resilient clay bricks for optimal heat containment and efficiency. The charge introduced consists of high-quality ferrosilicon with a silicon content of 75%, blended with a calculated amount of aluminum granules, which serve as an efficient reducing agent. The smelting process is initiated using a top ignition method, employing igniters such as saltpeter, aluminum shavings, or magnesium shavings spread across the charge's surface to ensure a vigorous ignition. This is followed by a calm phase, after which slag tapping occurs, and the furnace cylinder is carefully removed. The resulting ferro molybdenum ingots are first allowed to cool naturally in a sand pit, then undergo a water-cooling process within a specialized cooling chamber, and are finally crushed and refined to achieve premium quality standards. The metal recovery rates are impressively high, ranging from 92% to an exceptional 99%. Recently, oxygen molybdenum briquettes have gained significant traction as a superior alternative to ferro molybdenum, particularly in the steelmaking industry, owing to their enhanced performance and reliability.

In tool steels, the high proportion of ferro molybdenum elevates performance in high-speed machining tools, cold-working implements, drills, screwdrivers, molds, chisels, heavy castings, rolling balls and mills, rollers, cylinder blocks, and piston rings.

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.
