Ferromolybdenum
a ferroalloy containing approximately 60 percent molybdenum, the remainder consisting of Fe and impurities. Ferromolybdenum is produced by the nonfurnace silicothermic process, here involving the addition of aluminum from roasted molybdenite concentrate. It is used in the smelting of structural steel and heat-resistant alloys.
