THE METHOD OF PRODUCING MOLYBDENUM ALLOY COMPOSITIONS WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF: PREPARING AN AMMONIACAL AMMONIUM SULPHATE SOLUTION WHICH CONTAINS, IN SOLUTION, MOLYBDENUM AND AT LEAST ONE OTHER METAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF SILVER, NICKEL, COBALT AND COPPER, ABOUT 1.5 TO ABOUT 2.0 MOLES OF FREE GRAMS PER LITRE OF AMMONIUM SULPHATE; PROVIDING IN SAID SOLUTION A NUCLEATION AGENT CAPABLE OF INITIATING THE REDUCTION OF SAID OTHER METAL; REACTING SAID SOLUTION WITH HYDROGEN AT A TEMPERATURE ABOVE ABOUT 250*F. AND UNDER A PARTIAL PRESSURE OF HYDROGEN ABOVE ABOUT 350 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH TO CO-PRECIPITATE MOLYBDENUM AND SAID OTHER METAL AS AN INTIMATE MIXTURE OF COMPLEX MOLYBDENUM COMPOUND AND ELEMENTAL METAL IN POWDER FORM; SEPARATING AND RECOVERING THE RESULTING PRECIPITATE FROM SAID SOLUTION AND REACTING SAID PRECIPITATE AT A TEMPERAURE OF ABOUT 1750*F. WITH HYDROGEN TO REDUCE THE MOLYBDENUM COMPOUND TO MOLYBDENUM METAL AND EFFECT SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE ALLOYING OF SAID MOLYBDENUM METAL AND SAID OTHER METAL.
