Product Description
Ferrovanadium 65 Percent Vanadium Fine Granules
Ferrovanadium 65 percent vanadium fine granules, distinguished by their grey-black hue, are a specialized FeV alloy designed to optimize the metallurgical properties of high carbon steel (carbon content >0.6%). As a mid-to-high-potency Iron Vanadium Alloy (often labeled FeV65, Ferrovanadium 65, or Vanadium Iron Alloy 65), this grade delivers a balanced combination of vanadium efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and process adaptability.
Core Metallurgical Roles in High Carbon Steel
High carbon steel, used in products like cutting tools, springs, and bearings, demands a fine balance of hardness, toughness, and wear resistance. Ferrovanadium 65% granules address these needs through three key mechanisms:
Carbide Strengthening: Boosting Hardness & Wear Resistance
Vanadium's strong affinity for carbon drives the formation of fine, densely distributed vanadium carbides (VC) during solidification and heat treatment. In high carbon steel, these VC particles (≤1 µm) act as micro-hardeners, increasing hardness by 20–30% compared to non-alloyed counterparts.
Grain Refinement: Enhancing Toughness
Vanadium segregates to austenite grain boundaries, inhibiting grain growth during heating. This results in a finer ferrite-pearlite or martensitic microstructure, which improves toughness and reduces the risk of brittle fracture.
Deoxidation: Ensuring Clean Steel
As a potent deoxidizer, vanadium reacts with dissolved oxygen in molten steel to form stable vanadium oxides (e.g., V2O5), which float as slag. This reduces porosity, inclusions, and surface defects.
