Ferro Molybdenum

Overview

Ferro molybdenum is an important iron-molybdenum alloy, with a molybdenum content of 60-75%. The alloy is produced by heating a mixture of molybdenum (VI) oxide MoO3, aluminium, and iron. The oxide and the aluminium combine via an aluminothermic reaction to give molybdenum in situ. The ferromolybdenum can be purified by electron beam melting or used as it is. For alloying with steel the ferromolybdenum is added to molten steel before casting.
