Ferro Molybdenum

Ferro Molybdenum (FeMo) is a ferroalloy used in the production of steel and other alloys.

Ferro Molybdenum is produced through the reduction of molybdenum oxide (MoO3) with iron and carbon.

It’s an essential alloying element in various industries, including construction, automotive, aerospace, and energy.

It’s a combination of iron (Fe) and molybdenum (Mo), with a typical composition of:
