Molybdenum belongs to the rare metal group.
Molybdenum and its alloys are widely used in various fields of engineering and industry, but the main consumption is ferrous metallurgy -7080% of molybdenum is used in the production of alloy steel.

Molybdenum can improve the hardenability and mechanical properties of steel.
It is used to obtain uniform fine microstructure of steel.
It is also used to extend the temperature range of quenching and tempering and to improve the resistance to overheating.
The total allowable mass of sand, slag and other contaminants shall not exceed 0.5% of the lot mass.
Adhesion materials and oxide films are allowed.
Ferro molybdenum is transported in bulk or as crushed and screened particles.
The allowed particle size should be in accordance with the specification.
Ferro molybdenum is transported in special containers, steel drums and wooden cases.
