In the steel industry, the use of ferromolybdenum significantly improves the strength, hardness and heat resistance of steel, especially in high-temperature environments, where the properties of the steel remain undiminished, i.e. there is no softening and no failure, which makes the steel widely used in high-temperature pressure vessels and oil drilling, among other areas.
Ferromolybdenum is one of the essential additives in the manufacture of stainless and acid-resistant steels. It substantially increases the corrosion resistance of steel, enabling it to be used for long periods in acidic, alkaline and salt-containing corrosive media. At the same time, ferromolybdenum prevents the spontaneous decomposition of peroxides on the steel surface, effectively improving corrosion resistance.
The addition of the right amount of ferromolybdenum significantly improves the toughness, impact toughness and malleability of the steel, making it more resistant to external shocks or impacts, and thus increasing its overall reliability, safety and service life. This is particularly important in the manufacture of high-strength steel tools and equipment.
In addition to its use in the steel industry, ferromolybdenum can also be used to manufacture structural components for spacecraft (e.g. heat conductors, housings, shock absorbers, etc.), radiation protection materials (e.g. radiation shielding walls, shields, etc.), electronic component materials, electrode materials (e.g. tungsten and molybdenum electrodes) and catalysts for chemical reactions.
