Soviet Union Ferro-Molybdenum (ГOCT 4759-79)
Ferro-molybdenum is a steel or alloy containing both molybdenum and iron, used as an alloy in steel and other metals. The ferro-molybdenum alloy was developed by the Soviet Union in the late 1970s under standard ГOCT 4759-79. This alloy was created as a way to improve the strength and hardness of steel, as well as to reduce the cost for steel production.
It is important to note that the Soviet Union was one of the first countries to develop a ferro-molybdenum alloy to replace pure molybdenum. Molybdenum is a heavy and expensive metal, and its use in steel production was limited by its cost. Ferro-molybdenum alloyed steel could be used to produce more steel with far less molybdenum content. This process also increased the strength, hardness and wear resistance of the steel.
The ferro-molybdenum alloy developed by the Soviet Union was of the highest quality, and the alloy was later designated to become ГOCT 4759-79 standard. This standard specified the minimum and maximum levels of molybdenum and iron that must be present in order for the ferro-molybdenum alloy to meet the standards of quality and strength. This paved the way for the development of high-strength steels.
The ferro-molybdenum alloy became extremely popular in the production of automotive, mining and scrap handling equipment. When it was combined with wear-resistant chromium-based alloys, it made the steel even stronger and more durable. The alloy also increased the operating temperature range of the steel, making it suitable for use even under extreme temperatures.
The production of ferro-molybdenum was an innovation of considerable importance to the metalworking industry. The alloy was also used in producing tools and machinery as well as in various parts and components in engineering and other industries. Due to its improved properties and cost-effectiveness, ferro-molybdenum had gained subscribers worldwide, and it continues to be widely used in various countries.
The success of ferro-molybdenum in the metalworking industry led to its further refinement and the development of new ferro-molybdenum alloys. ГOCT 4759-79 became the basis of this search, and it has now been widely adopted by organizational standards in many countries. The advent of ferro-molybdenum and its refinement has greatly improved the production of steel and other alloys, as well as greatly lowered production and operational cost in many industries.
