FeV Alloy 50% & 80% Lump for Automotive and Structural Steel
High-strength alloying material specifically designed for automotive steel and structural steel production, providing controlled vanadium addition for enhanced mechanical properties.
Product Introduction
FeV Alloy 50% and 80% are ferrovanadium lump products used as vanadium alloying materials in automotive steel, structural steel and other high-strength steel production. Vanadium contributes to grain refinement and precipitation strengthening in appropriately designed steel compositions, helping steelmakers develop required strength and hardness levels.
FeV50 contains at least 50% vanadium, while FeV80 contains at least 80% vanadium, with iron as the balance. The two grades provide different vanadium concentrations for alloying calculations and can be selected according to target V content, steel grade, melting process and addition rate.
Key Benefits for Steel Production
- Grade Options: FeV50 and FeV80 provide different vanadium concentrations for controlled alloy addition
- High-Strength Steel Compatibility: Suitable for selected high-strength automotive and structural steel grades
- Lump Form: Supplied in lump form for charging into metallurgical processes
- Controlled Chemistry: Enables precise vanadium addition based on required final steel composition
- Custom Specifications: Define V content, impurity limits, lump size, packaging and documentation requirements

Technical Performance in Steel
Vanadium is used in selected steel compositions to influence microstructure and mechanical properties. During appropriate steel processing, vanadium forms fine carbonitride precipitates that contribute to:
- Grain refinement
- Precipitation strengthening
- Increased yield strength
- Increased hardness
- Microstructural control
For automotive and structural steels, FeV should be selected as part of the overall steelmaking formulation, considering complete steel chemistry, rolling conditions, cooling rate and heat treatment.
Application Areas
Automotive Steel Production
FeV can be used as a vanadium alloying addition in selected high-strength automotive steel grades for components requiring:
- Target yield strength optimization
- Tensile strength enhancement
- Controlled steel chemistry
- Specific vanadium content requirements
- Formability maintenance
Structural Steel Production
Selected high-strength structural steels incorporate vanadium for applications including:
- Building structures
- Bridges and infrastructure
- Industrial structures
- Heavy equipment structures
- Load-bearing components
