  • In molybdenum processing: Ferromolybdenum

    Technical molybdic oxide is the least expensive agent for adding molybdenum to alloy steels and irons, but for higher-grade alloy steels, in which the molybdenum content is more than 1 percent, ferromolybdenum (FeMo) is preferred since it avoids having to add oxygen to the…

    …of either technical oxide or ferromolybdenum. Ferromolybdenum (containing at least 60 percent molybdenum) is produced by igniting a mixture of technical oxide and iron oxide. Molybdenum metal is produced in the form of a powder by hydrogen reduction of chemically pure molybdic oxide or ammonium molybdate, (NH4)2MoO4. The powder is…
