Uses of ferromolybdenum in steelmaking and casting
• Steelmaking field: It is an important alloy additive in steelmaking. Adding molybdenum to 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, combined with other alloying elements, can be used to produce stainless steel, heat-resistant steel, acid-resistant steel, tool steel and alloys with special physical properties.
• Casting field: Molybdenum is added to cast iron to increase its strength and wear resistance, and is often used in the production of rolls and other wear-resistant castings.
Chinese ferromolybdenum prices remain stable：
Today, China’s ferromolybdenum quotation remains at 240,000-245,000 yuan/ton. Raw material prices are stable but strong, costs are high, and it is difficult to purchase ferromolybdenum at low prices. In the game of supply and demand, steel mills’ opening bid prices are relatively stable, traders are not enthusiastic about purchasing, and there is a strong wait-and-see sentiment at the beginning of the week.
Today, the quotation price of ferromolybdenum raw material 45-50% molybdenum concentrate is 3720-3750 yuan/ton, and the price center continues to move upward. Supported by this, today’s bulk quotations of ferromolybdenum are mostly maintained at 242,000-243,000 yuan/ton in cash. Trading volume Small amount.
The cost of raw materials is strong, the demand for ferromolybdenum is stable, and the prices of terminal molybdenum-containing special steel and 316 stainless steel have increased significantly recently. Supported by this, ferromolybdenum prices remain stable in the short term.
