Ferro Molybdenum Powder
Molybdenum addition for strength, creep resistance and hardenability in alloy steel and weld metal.
Molybdenum raises high-temperature strength and creep resistance, improves hardenability, and reduces temper embrittlement. That combination makes it standard in pressure vessel, pipeline and power plant steels, and in the consumables used to weld them.
Ferro molybdenum is a hard, tough alloy and grinding it to a fine, consistent powder is a demanding job. We supply it ground and screened for electrode coatings, flux cored wires and SAW fluxes as well as for steel making.

Standard grades
The grades below are the standard specifications this material is traded to. We supply against your specification — tell us the grade and we will confirm what we can hold.
| Grade | Mo | Si | Cu | C | S | P | Fe |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FeMo 60 | 60.00–65.00 | 1.50 max | 0.50 max | 0.10 max | 0.10 max | 0.10 max | Balance |
| FeMo 65 | 65.00–70.00 | 1.50 max | 0.50 max | 0.10 max | 0.10 max | 0.10 max | Balance |
| FeMo 70 | 68.00–72.00 | 1.50 max | 0.50 max | 0.05 max | 0.06 max | 0.10 max | Balance |

Please note. These are indicative industry-standard ranges shown for guidance. Where a grade name encodes a nominal sieve or density, that is what the designation means in the trade — the size range actually supplied, and the packing, are set to your requirement and confirmed on your order. The binding specification for any order is the one on your purchase order and the test certificate supplied with the consignment — see how we test and certify a lot. Ask us for a datasheet for the exact grade you need.
