Ferrovanadium (FeV) Product Introduction

Ferrovanadium is an iron alloy composed of vanadium and iron, serving as an essential alloy additive in the steelmaking and foundry industries. Our company specializes in the international trade of ferrovanadium products, strictly adhering to GB/T 4139-2012 (the current Chinese national standard), and can supply various grades and specifications according to customer requirements.

I. Product Introduction

Ferrovanadium is a ferroalloy whose main components are vanadium and iron, also containing impurities such as sulfur, phosphorus, silicon, and aluminum. It is obtained by reducing vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) with carbon in an electric furnace, or by reducing vanadium pentoxide via the electric furnace silico-thermal method. Ferrovanadium is widely used as an alloy additive in the smelting of vanadium-containing alloy steels and alloy cast irons. In recent years, it has also been used in the manufacture of permanent magnets.

Key physical properties:

• Melting Point: 1887°C

• Boiling Point: 3337°C

• Color: Grey with metallic luster

• CAS No.: 12604-58-9

II. Product Grades and Chemical Composition

Ferrovanadium is classified into nine grades under GB/T 4139-2012 based on vanadium and impurity content. The following table shows the main grades and chemical compositions (referenced from GB/T 4139-2012):

Source: GB/T 4139-2012. Other chemical compositions can be supplied upon agreement between the supplier and the buyer.

Alternative Grade Designations (Industry Common):

Note: In addition to vanadium and iron, ferrovanadium also contains small amounts of silicon, aluminum, carbon, sulfur, phosphorus, arsenic, copper, and manganese.
