Why is 98% V2O5 used to make vanadium iron?

 
98% V2O5​ is commonly used as the primary vanadium source​ in the production of vanadium iron (FeV), a critical alloy used in making vanadium-containing steels and superalloys. Vanadium iron typically contains 35%–70% vanadium​ and is produced by reducing V2O5 in the presence of iron ore or scrap​ in electric arc furnaces or aluminothermic processes.
The 98% purity level​ of V2O5 ensures that the resulting vanadium iron has sufficient vanadium content​ while maintaining reasonable production costs. It provides enough vanadium for effective alloying​ without requiring the expense of ultra-high-purity grades.
The flake form​ of 98% V2O5 offers good thermal stability and dissolution behavior​ in molten metal, ensuring even distribution of vanadium​ in the iron matrix. This leads to consistent chemical composition and improved mechanical properties​ in the final alloy, such as enhanced strength, toughness, and wear resistance.
Suppliers often provide 98% V2O5 flake with analysis certificates and customized particle sizing​ to meet the specific needs of vanadium iron smelters and alloy producers.
