What Types of Ferrovanadium Are There?

 Common Grades Classified by Vanadium Content
Ferrovanadium (FeV) is categorized mainly by vanadium percentage​ in the alloy. The most common grades are:
Grade
Vanadium Content (wt%)
Iron Content
Typical Impurities
Main Uses
FeV40
40–45%
Balance
Al ≤ 2%, Si ≤ 2%, C ≤ 0.2%
General steelmaking, cost‑effective V addition
FeV50
48–52%
Balance
Al ≤ 1.5%, Si ≤ 1.5%, C ≤ 0.1%
High‑strength steel, HSLA, tool steel
FeV60
58–62%
Balance
Al ≤ 1%, Si ≤ 1%, C ≤ 0.1%
Premium alloy steel, aerospace steels
FeV80
78–82%
Balance
Very low Al, Si, C
Specialty steels, where minimal Fe dilution is needed
Notes
  • The number in the name usually approximates the V content​ (e.g., FeV50 ≈ 50% V).
  • Higher V grades reduce the amount of iron added to the melt, giving more precise alloy control.
  • Low‑carbon grades​ are available for stainless and special steels where carbon must be minimized.
