Ferro vanadium is an alloy of iron and vanadium, typically containing 35% to 85% vanadium by weight. It is produced by smelting a mixture of iron ore, vanadium slag, and a carbon source, such as coke or charcoal, in a furnace at high temperatures.
Ferro vanadium is commonly used as an additive in the production of steel and other alloys to improve their strength, toughness, and resistance to corrosion and wear. The amount of ferro vanadium added to the alloy depends on the specific application and desired properties of the final product.
Ferro vanadium is available in various grades, depending on the vanadium content and the presence of other elements such as silicon, aluminum, and sulfur. The most commonly produced grades are FeV50, FeV60, and FeV80, which contain 50%, 60%, and 80% vanadium by weight, respectively.
Ferro vanadium is typically sold in the form of small lumps, pieces, or powder, which are packaged in bags or drums for shipment. The product is characterized by its high melting point, which ranges from 1,920°C to 2,380°C (3,488°F to 4,316°F), and its ability to form stable oxides and carbides that provide excellent resistance to heat and wear.
