Ferro Vanadium FeV50 FeV80 Lump for High Strength Steel Production and Alloy Manufacturing

Vanadium earns its place in high strength steel through grain refinement and the precipitation of fine vanadium carbonitrides, which raise yield strength while weldability and ductility stay intact. Ferro vanadium is the practical carrier for that addition, and two grades cover most programs: FeV50, the economical workhorse where a wider vanadium window is acceptable, and FeV80, the concentrated option for tight chemistry targets and lower addition rates. ZhenAn produces both at its Henan works and ships ferro vanadium lump sized for direct ladle or furnace charging.

Running both grades through one supplier keeps a single document trail — one COA format, one sampling discipline, one commercial contact — across every vanadium addition a mill makes.

Grade limits follow GB/T 4139-2012, the Chinese national standard for ferrovanadium.

The B-variants of each grade relax the ceilings slightly where the steel program allows, and tighter impurity windows can be agreed in the contract. The high-vanadium lump melts around 1887°C as published for the FeV80 product, a figure mills use when planning addition timing.

• High strength low alloy plate for bridges, buildings and pressure equipment
• Weldable structural sections where vanadium replaces heavier section weights
• Wear resistant plate and overlay programs
• Alloy steel forgings and castings
• Tool steel grades using vanadium for secondary hardening
• Iron castings where vanadium stabilizes pearlite and sharpens wear response

1. The vanadium window each steel grade targets, in percent
2. Grade split between FeV50 and FeV80 across the program
3. Lump sizing matched to ladle practice and melt-shop handling
4. Impurity ceilings that matter to the grade — carbon above all for tool steel
5. Packing and container plan, including any big bag or drum preference
6. Documents required per lot: COA, SDS and any retained-sample agreement

A request that earns a same-day answer carries five facts: how the tonnage splits between the 50% and 80% grades, the vanadium windows those heats target, the lump fraction and packing the melt shop prefers, the discharge port with its Incoterms, and any sample requirement that should precede the commercial offer. Send them and the desk returns a firm price with a current COA attached.
