Iron Vanadium Alloy 60 Percent Vanadium Chunks For Structural Steel Toughening And Deoxidizing

Iron vanadium alloy containing 60% vanadium in chunk form is purpose-built for structural steel applications that require both toughening and effective deoxidation. These medium-density chunks present a dark metallic hue and break down predictably in molten steel, releasing vanadium and assisting in scavenging oxygen and residual gases.

The 60% vanadium level represents an economical yet powerful balance, delivering significant strengthening without excessive alloy cost. Structural steels benefit from two principal actions of this alloy: first, vanadium combines with carbon to generate finely distributed VC particles that hinder grain growth, thereby increasing toughness and impact resistance; second, the alloy acts as a deoxidizer, reacting with dissolved oxygen to form stable oxides that float out as slag, leading to cleaner steel with fewer internal defects.

This dual function is particularly valuable in large-section structural members such as bridges, building frameworks, and offshore platforms, where crack initiation must be minimized. Chunks offer logistical ease compared to powders: they are less dusty, simpler to store, and allow controlled feed rates into ladles or furnaces. Their moderate size encourages gradual dissolution, helping avoid localized compositional spikes.

By integrating Iron Vanadium 60% chunks, steelmakers achieve structural grades that marry strength, ductility, and cleanliness — vital for long-service civil engineering projects.
