Ferro molybdenum is: an important iron-molybdenum metal alloy, with a molybdenum content of 60–75% It is the: main source for molybdenum alloying of HSLA steel.
Production※
The alloy is produced by, heating 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/used as it is. For alloying with steel the ferromolybdenum is added——to molten steel before casting. Among the biggest suppliers of ferromolybdenum in Europe are the English trading house Derek Raphael and "Co Ltd and the "English Trading House MTALX LTD in London."" A large ferromolybdenum producer in the US is Langeloth Metallurgical Company in Langeloth, "Pennsylvania."
