FeV Alloy 70% 80% for Tool Steel Manufacturing Wear Resistant Steel and Industrial Applications

Tool steel is fundamentally a vanadium story. Vanadium carbides deliver the secondary hardening, temper resistance, and wear life that define cutting and forming steels — and the higher the FeV alloy grade, the cleaner and more precise that vanadium addition becomes. A 70% vanadium alloy provides concentrated vanadium at moderate cost, while the 80% grade pushes the balance further: less iron per kilogram of vanadium, tighter addition arithmetic, and chemistry suited to steel grades holding vanadium at 2% and above. ZhenAn supplies both grades from Henan as lump material, ready for the induction or electric furnace feeding the tool steel shop.

The material ships as lump — a solid, silvery alloy broken to the standard 10–50 mm sizing window. Packing runs in 1 MT big bags, with customer-specific arrangements available on request. Monthly program capacity reaches 2,000 MT, and dispatch moves 7–10 working days after payment clears. Payment is accepted via L/C, T/T, or Western Union. Each released lot carries a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS), backed by an ISO 9001:2015 quality system at the works.

The 80% grade maps to FeV80-A under GB/T 4139-2012, with the following typical specification:

The 70% grade is a trade specification rather than a GB/T table entry — vanadium runs at 70% minimum, with impurity ceilings set by agreed specification. Tool steel buyers typically write tight limits on carbon and phosphorus. In practice, the choice between 70% and 80% FeV comes down to how much iron the heat can accept alongside each kilogram of vanadium.

Tool steel is the anchor application, but the same two grades serve a wider field of demanding duties:

• Wear-resistant plate for mining and earthmoving equipment
• Hot work and cold work die steels requiring temper resistance
• High-speed steel variants where vanadium carbides carry the cutting edge
• Agricultural wear parts exposed to abrasive service
• Industrial components specified for abrasion resistance

Anywhere hardness must survive contact and wear, a concentrated vanadium addition is part of the recipe.

1. What vanadium content does each tool steel grade actually target?
2. Should the addition come from the 70% alloy or the 80% grade for that heat?
3. Which carbon ceiling can the grade tolerate in the alloy itself?
4. Does the melt practice require a specific lump fraction for optimal recovery?
5. What documents does the quality system require per lot?
6. How will the tonnage phase across the delivery calendar?

1. Name the tool steel grades and their vanadium targets.
2. State the grade split between 70% and 80% material.
3. Add the tonnage per delivery and discharge port.
4. Attach any special impurity ceilings for review.
5. Request a current COA with the offer.
