Ferro Molybdenum

Ferro Molybdenum (FeMo) is a master alloy carrying Mo ≥ 60% that delivers molybdenum into steel melts without the oxidation losses of metallic Mo. Added to the ladle or EAF, it raises hardenability, high-temperature strength, and resistance to pitting and creep; in stainless and pipeline grades Mo stabilizes the passive film and counters chloride attack. Typical additions run roughly 0.1-0.5 wt% Mo for alloy and pipeline steels and up to ~2-4 wt% in tool and heat-resistant grades, dosed against the target Mo aim and recovery. The standard FeMo 60 grade holds C ≤ 0.10%, Si ≤ 1.0%, P ≤ 0.05%, S ≤ 0.10%, Cu ≤ 0.50%, sized 10-50 mm to ASTM A132 / ISO 5452; a low P/S FeMo 65-70 is available on request for cleaner-steel routes. Every lot ships with COA (EN 10204 3.1) and MTC, XRF/ICP verified at Mo ≥ 60%. Multi-regional sourcing supports CIF Marmara delivery and Gebze bonded stock, 20 MT FCL or 5 MT LCL lots. Send your target Mo%, grade, and tonnage for a current RFQ.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Mo content of Arsam FeMo?
Mo ≥60%, standard alloy steel production spec. On request, Mo 65% + low P/S grade available. C ≤0.10%, Si ≤1.0%, P ≤0.05%, S ≤0.10%, Cu ≤0.50%, size 10-50mm.
What is the MOFCOM export license lead time?
As of Q2 2026, 4-6 weeks in queue. Arsam maintains a risk backup via an alternative international source portfolio, in case of MOFCOM delay, a 21-day delivery alternative channel is active.
How is the FeMo CIF İzmit average price determined?
LME moly $/lb spot + CIF logistics + margin. For the Q2 2026 spot band, contact info@arsammetal.com, updated quote within 4 hours (TR foundry speed discipline).
What is the minimum order?
20 MT FCL or 5 MT LCL. For foundries in Türkiye there is a 24h shipment option from the Gebze bonded warehouse when stock is held; for other destinations the lead time is stated in the quote.
Are COA + MTC + radiation certificate standard?
Yes, COA + MTC + Radiation Certificate are standard package for every lot. SGS / Bureau Veritas / Intertek 3rd party inspection option available (on request, complimentary for premium customers).
Can you deliver FeMo 60 CIF to Taiwan (Kaohsiung) and other Asian ports?
Yes. For FeMo 60 we quote CIF to Asian ports including Kaohsiung. In your request, give the Mo range, the Cu and S limits, the size, the packaging and the tonnage. Every lot ships with COA and EN 10204 3.1.
