Moly Oxide Briquettes

Moly Oxide Briquettes with 60% molybdenum content are a molybdenum-bearing material used as an efficient source of molybdenum in steelmaking and alloy manufacturing.

Molybdenum is added to steel to improve properties such as strength, hardenability, wear resistance and high-temperature performance. Briquetted molybdenum oxide provides a compact and convenient form for handling, storage and controlled addition during metallurgical processing.

Applications

  • Alloy Steel Production
    Moly Oxide Briquettes are used as a molybdenum source in the production of alloy steels where controlled molybdenum addition is required.
  • Stainless Steel
    Molybdenum is an important alloying element in several stainless steel grades, particularly where improved corrosion resistance is required.
  • Tool Steel
    Molybdenum contributes to hardness, wear resistance and high-temperature performance, making it useful in selected tool and high-speed steel applications.
  • Engineering Steel
    Molybdenum-bearing steels are used in demanding engineering applications where strength and durability are important.
  • High-Temperature Applications
    Molybdenum improves the performance of suitable steel grades at elevated temperatures, making molybdenum-containing alloys useful in energy, industrial and heavy-engineering applications.

Why Use Moly Oxide Briquettes?

For steel manufacturers, the form in which an alloying material is supplied can be important for handling, storage and addition into the production process.

Moly Oxide Briquettes provide molybdenum in a compact form and can be incorporated into the alloying process according to the plant’s addition method. The required molybdenum content, briquette size and chemical limits can be agreed according to the steel grade and production requirements.
