Main Uses

Benefits of Adding Ferrovanadium

• •
  Precipitation strengthening: Vanadium forms fine VC (vanadium carbide) particles that block dislocation movement.
• •
  Grain refinement: Suppresses austenite grain growth, improving toughness.
• •
  Wear & fatigue resistance: Higher surface hardness and durability.
• •
  Corrosion resistance: In some stainless steels, V improves pitting resistance.

Forms Available

• •
  Lump​ (10–80 mm): For bulk furnace addition.
• •
  Crushed/Granulated: For precise dosing.
• •
  Powder: For special steel treatments or welding electrodes.
