Ferro-alloys; ferro-molybdenum

HS v2022 Code: 720270

About ferro-alloys; ferro-molybdenum

HS code 720270 covers ferro-molybdenum, a crucial ferro-alloy used in the production of various steel and cast iron products. Ferro-molybdenum is an essential ingredient in the manufacture of high-strength, heat-resistant, and corrosion-resistant alloys, which are widely utilized in the automotive, aerospace, and construction industries. This ferro-alloy plays a vital role in enhancing the properties of metals, making it an integral component of the global industrial landscape.

Production process

Ferro-molybdenum is typically produced through the reduction of molybdenum oxide with carbon or silicon in an electric furnace. The molten ferro-alloy is then cast into ingots or crushed into smaller pieces for further processing and distribution. The specific production techniques may vary depending on the desired purity and composition of the final product.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of ferro-molybdenum include molybdenum ore, carbon sources (such as coke or charcoal), and various fluxing agents. Additionally, specialized equipment like electric furnaces, casting molds, and crushing machinery are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

Ferro-molybdenum is a key input for the production of 720211 Ferro-manganese, 720221 Ferro-silicon-manganese, and other high-performance steel and cast iron alloys. These alloys find widespread applications in the automotive, aerospace, construction, and machinery industries, where their unique properties are highly valued.
