Furnace metal thermal reduction method (commonly known as silicon thermal reduction method): This is the simplest, most economical and most widely used ferromolybdenum production method.

This method uses silicon instead of carbon as the reducing agent for molybdenum oxide.

Silicon is added in the form of ferrosilicon. The heat released by the reduction reaction can melt the resulting alloy and slag, so there is no need to add an additional heat source.

When exposed to the outside world during the production process, it is easy to achieve spontaneous reactions.
