Ferro Molybdenum is added to an alloy due to its hardening properties that makes steel extremely strong and at the same time weldable. Ferro Molybdenum also helps in increasing the Corrosion resistance. The largest practical applications of Ferro Molybdenum are its use in ferrous alloys, and depending on the molybdenum content range, it is suited for machine tools and equipment, military hardware, refinery tubing, load-bearing parts and rotary drills. Ferro Molybdenum is also used in cars, trucks, locomotives and ships. In addition, Ferro Molybdenum is used in stainless and heat-resisting steels that are employed by synthetic fuel and chemical plants, heat exchangers, power generators, oil-refining equipment, pumps, turbine tubing, ship propellers, plastics and inside acid storage containers. Tool steels, with a high percentage range of Ferro Molybdenum, are used in high-speed machining parts, cold work tools, drill bits, screwdrivers, dies, chisels, heavy castings, ball and rolling.

Ferro Molybdenum is an alloy which is formed by combining Iron & Molybdenum. Ferro Moly is a hardening agent & is found in many alloy steels. Molybdenum prevents corrosion in Stainless steel and when mixed with Iron, it also hardens & strengthens into austenite. The alloy is produced by heating/melting a mixture of Molybdenum Oxide & Iron. It can be produced in an Induction/Arc furnace or by aluminothermic reaction. It is added to Molten steel before casting. Ferro Molybdenum comes in many grades, but the Molybdenum content mostly varies between 60 – 75%. It is not classed as a hazardous good for transit. Almost 80% of the world’s Ferro Moly is produced in Delhi, India.

Application : Molybdenum is used to improve mechanical and physical properties of all kinds of steels. Applications for our products include additions to constructional alloy steels, tool and high speed steels, stainless steels, super alloys and cast irons as well as cast steels. It is also used in production of welding electrodes.
