Tygem has actively participated in market research and concluding sales agreement of Turkish Moly Concentrates.

About 86% of moly produced is used in metallurgical applications as alloys, with the rest of molybdenum used as compounds in chemical applications. Estimated fractional global industrial use of molybdenum is structural steel 35%, stainless steel 25%, chemicals 14%, tool & high-speed steels 9%, cast iron 6%, molybdenum elemental metal 6%, and super alloys 5%.

Molybdenum powder is used as a fertilizer for some plants, such as cauliflower.

In addition to its many applications, Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is used as a solid lubricant and a high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) anti-wear agent. It forms strong films on metallic surfaces and is a common additive to HPHT greases – in the event of a catastrophic grease failure, a thin layer of molybdenum prevents contact of the lubricated parts. It also has semiconducting properties with distinct advantages over traditional silicon or graphene in electronics applications. MoS2 is also used as a catalyst in hydrocracking of petroleum fractions containing nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen.

Tygem will provide service to FerroMoly industry for forging relations and will be active in delivering MoS2 concentrates outside alloying industry; lubricators and other chemical users.
