Q1: What are Ferrovanadium 60 and Ferrovanadium 80?
Ferrovanadium (FeV) is an alloy composed of iron and vanadium, mainly used as an additive in steelmaking to enhance hardness, strength, and corrosion resistance.
The numbers 60 and 80 represent the vanadium content percentage -
FeV60 contains about 58-62% vanadium,
FeV80 contains about 78-82% vanadium.
Q2: What is the main difference between FeV60 and FeV80?
The difference lies primarily in vanadium concentration and alloying efficiency:
FeV60 provides balanced performance and is ideal for medium- and high-strength steels.
FeV80 offers higher purity and alloying power, commonly used in tool steels, aerospace alloys, and advanced high-strength steel (AHSS).
In essence:
👉 FeV60 = versatile & economical
👉 FeV80 = high-performance & premium-grade
Q3: How do their chemical compositions compare?
| Ferrovanadium Grade | Vanadium Content (V, %) | Silicon Upper Limit (Si, %) | Aluminum Maximum (Al, %) | Carbon Ceiling (C, %) | Phosphorus Restriction (P, %) | Sulfur Threshold (S, %) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FeV60 | 58 to 62 | No more than 2.0 | Up to 1.5 | ≤ 0.25 | Max 0.06 | ≤ 0.04 |
| FeV80 | 78 to 82 | No more than 2.0 | Up to 1.5 | ≤ 0.25 | Max 0.06 | ≤ 0.04 |
Higher vanadium in FeV80 allows smaller additions during smelting, but its unit price per ton is also higher.
Q4: How should buyers choose between FeV60 and FeV80?
Choose FeV60 when cost efficiency and broad compatibility with standard steel grades are required (construction, machinery, pipelines).
Choose FeV80 when your production involves special alloy steels, where precision and superior strength are critical.
Both types are available from ZhenAn, manufactured under ISO9001-certified facilities and supplied with SGS inspection reports for export.
