Ferro Vanadium FeV60 & FeV70 for Alloy Steel Production
Ferro Vanadium FeV60 and FeV70 are vanadium-iron ferroalloys used as alloying additions in alloy steel production. These alloys contribute to hardness, strength, grain refinement and precipitation strengthening in appropriately designed steel compositions for demanding mechanical and elevated-temperature service conditions.
Product Introduction
FeV60 contains at least 60% vanadium, while FeV70 contains at least 70% vanadium, with iron as the balance. The appropriate grade selection depends on target vanadium content, steel chemistry, addition rate, melting process and required metallurgical properties.
Buyers can specify FeV grade, vanadium content, chemical composition, lump size, quantity, packaging and inspection requirements. COA and SDS documentation available according to order specifications.
Key Benefits in Alloy Steel Production
- Supports hardness and strength development through fine vanadium-containing precipitates
- Enhances grain refinement through precipitation and microstructural control
- Suitable for demanding alloy steel applications requiring controlled vanadium addition
- Applicable to elevated-temperature service conditions in appropriate steel systems

How Ferro Vanadium Affects Steel Hardness
Vanadium influences steel microstructure by combining with carbon and nitrogen to form fine precipitates during appropriate processing, contributing to:
- Precipitation strengthening
- Grain refinement
- Increased hardness
- Improved strength
- Microstructural control
Final hardness is determined by combined effects of chemical composition, vanadium level, carbon and nitrogen content, melting practice, cooling conditions and heat treatment.
High-Temperature Applications
Ferro Vanadium is used in alloy steel production for applications requiring operation under demanding temperature and mechanical conditions:
- Heat-resistant alloy steel systems
- High-temperature mechanical components
- Engineering alloy steels with specific mechanical requirements
