Specification of Ferrovanadium

Products Description

Ferrovanadium is an iron alloy obtained by reducing vanadium pentoxide in an electric furnace with carbon, and can also be obtained by reduction of vanadium pentoxide by electric furnace silicon thermal method.

It is widely used as an elemental additive for smelting vanadium-containing alloy steels and alloy cast irons, and has been used in recent years to make permanent magnets.

Ferrovanadium is mainly used as an alloying additive for steel making.

After adding vanadium iron to steel, the hardness, strength, wear resistance and ductility of the steel can be significantly improved, and the cutting performance of the steel can be improved.

Application of ferrovanadium

1. It Is an important alloy additive in iron and steel industry. It can improve the strength, toughness, ductility and heat resistance of steel. Since the 1960s, the application of ferrovanadium in the iron and steel industry has increased dramatically, to 1988 accounted for 85% of the consumption of ferro vanadium. The proportion of iron vanadium consumption in steel is carbon steel 20%, high strength low alloy steel 25%, alloy steel 20%, tool steel 15%. High strength low alloy steel (HSLA) containing vanadium iron is widely used in the production and construction of oil/gas pipelines, buildings, Bridges, rails, pressure vessels, carriage frames and so on due to its high strength.

2. In the non-ferrous alloy is mainly used to produce vanadium ferrotitanium alloy, such as Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn and
Ti-8Al-1V-Mo. Ti-6al-4v alloy is used in the manufacture of aircraft and rockets excellent high temperature structural materials, in the United States is very important, the output of titanium vanadium ferroalloy accounted for more than half. Ferro vanadium metal can also be used in magnetic materials, cast iron, carbide, superconducting materials and nuclear reactor materials and other fields.

3. Is mainly used as an alloy additive in steelmaking. The hardness, strength, wear resistance and ductility of steel
can be significantly improved by adding ferrovanadium into steel, and the cutting performance of steel can be improved. Vanadium iron is commonly used in the production of carbon steel, low alloy steel strength steel, high alloy steel, tool steel and cast iron.

4. Suitable for alloy steel smelting, alloy element additive and stainless steel electrode coating, etc. This standard applies to the production of niobium pentoxide concentrate as raw material for steel making or casting additives, electrode as alloy agent, magnetic materials and other uses of iron vanadium.
