60% ferrovanadium (FeV60) contains roughly 58–62% vanadium, with iron and minor deoxidizers as balance. It sits between FeV50 and FeV80 in vanadium concentration, offering a balance between cost efficiency and alloying effectiveness.

1. High‑Strength Low‑Alloy (HSLA) Steels

   • Widely used in pipelines, bridges, shipbuilding, and structural frameworks.

   • Improves yield strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance while maintaining weldability.

2. Construction & Infrastructure

   • FeV60 is the most common grade for reinforcing bars and sheet piling, allowing lighter sections without sacrificing load capacity.

3. Automotive Components

   • Used in gears, crankshafts, suspension systems, and chassis parts to enhance strength‑to‑weight ratio and impact resistance.

4. General Tool Steels

   • Applied where high vanadium content isn’t required but improved wear resistance and hardenability are beneficial (e.g., medium‑duty cutting tools).

5. Cast Iron Alloying

   • Enhances tensile strength and ductility of nodular iron used in engine components.

• Cost‑effective vanadium addition for large‑volume steel production.

• Balanced performance: sufficient carbide strengthening without excessive alloy cost.

• Versatility: suitable for a broad spectrum of steels and cast irons.
