Ferrovanadium (FeV)
Ferrovanadium (FeV) is an alloy of iron and vanadium (35% – 85%). It is used as an additive to improve the qualities of ferrous alloys. It is an universal hardener, strengthener and anti-corrosive additive for steels like high-strength low-alloy steel, tool steels, as well as other ferrous-based products. It has significant advantages over both iron and vanadium individually.
Product Type: Ferroalloy
Features & Benefits:
- Corrosion defence
- Superior toughness
- Wear resistance
- Weight reduction
Applications areas:
- Ferrovanadium (FeV) is used as an additive to improve the qualities of ferrous alloys. One such use is to improve corrosion resistance to alkaline reagents as well as sulfuric and hydrochloric acids. It is also used to improve the tensile strength-to-weight ratio of the material. One application of such steels is in the chemical processing industry for high pressure high throughput fluid handling systems dealing with industrial-scale sulfuric acid production. It is also commonly used for hand tools e.g. spanners (wrenches), screwdrivers, ratchets, etc.
