Description of Ferromolybdenum Alloy (FeMo)
Ferromolybdenum is an alloy composed primarily of iron (Fe) and molybdenum (Mo). It is produced by melting together sources of iron and molybdenum, typically ferrosilicon and technical-grade molybdenum oxide, in a furnace. The resulting alloy has a molybdenum content ranging between 50% and 60%.
Ferromolybdenum is generally added during the production of steel and cast iron. It is used to increase the hardenability, strength and corrosion resistance of the final metal product. The presence of molybdenum enhances the alloy’s ability to withstand high temperatures, thereby making it suitable for applications in the automotive, construction, oil and gas industries.
Advantages of the Ferromolybdenum Alloy (FeMo)
The FeMo alloy is employed as an additive for steel and corrosion-resistant alloys.
Main advantages: Increases hardenability.
Enhances high temperature strength and creep resistance.
Improves the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.
Reduces temper embrittlement.
Resists softening during tempering.
Enhances weldability.
