What are the uses of ferromolybdenum?
The largest application of Ferromoly is in the production of ferroalloys, which, depending on the content and range of molybdenum, are suitable for use in machine tools and equipment, military equipment, refinery tubing, load-bearing components and rotary drill bits.
Ferro Molibdeno is also used in cars, trucks, locomotives, ships, etc. In addition, molybdenum Ferro is used in stainless steel, and heat-resistant steel is used in synthetic fuel and chemical plants, heat exchangers, generators, refinery equipment, pumps, turbine tubes, ship propellers, plastics and acids, and storage vessels.
Tool steel with high iron-molybdenum content, used for high-speed machining parts, cold work tools, drill bits, screwdrivers, dies, chisels, heavy castings, balls and large drill bits, used in rolling mills, rolls, cylinder blocks, piston rings.
