Product Description
Ferrovanadium is a ferroalloy primarily composed of vanadium (V) and iron (Fe), produced by reducing vanadium ore (e.g., vanadinite) with iron in electric furnaces. It serves as a key vanadium source in steelmaking and alloy production, used to introduce vanadium into metals for enhanced mechanical properties.
- High vanadium content (35%-85%), enabling efficient alloying.
- Strong Grain Refinement: Refines metal grain structure via vanadium carbides (VC), boosting strength and toughness.
- Enhances hardenability and wear resistance in steels.
- Heat Resistance: Improves high-temperature stability of alloys.
- Low impurities (C, Si, S, P) to preserve base metal quality.
Applications
- Steelmaking: Strengthens structural steel (bridges, buildings), automotive parts (axles, gears), and tool steels (cutting tools); enhances stainless steel corrosion resistance.
- Aerospace/Defense: Used in high-performance alloys for aircraft engine components, missile parts, and armor plating (balances strength and weight).
- Special Alloys: Added to titanium alloys to improve creep resistance (e.g., for jet engine turbine blades). Used in superconducting alloys and magnetic materials for specialized industrial applications.
