Alloy / Stainless Steel Industry
Important additives for refining special alloys and 316 series stainless steel:
- An iron alloy composed of molybdenum and iron, generally containing 50-60% molybdenum, is used as an alloy additive for steelmaking. Ferromolybdenum is an alloy of molybdenum and iron. Its main use is as an addition of molybdenum in steelmaking. Adding molybdenum to the steel can make the steel have a uniform fine-grained structure, improve the hardenability of the steel, and help eliminate temper brittleness. In high-speed steel, molybdenum can replace part of tungsten. Molybdenum is widely used in combination with other alloying elements to produce stainless steel, heat-resistant steel, acid-resistant steel and tool steel, as well as alloys with special physical properties. Adding molybdenum to cast iron can increase its strength and wear resistance
