Ferrovanadium FeV80 Metallic Lumps
Ferrovanadium FeV80 metallic lumps, known for their competitive pricing and high vanadium concentration, serve as an efficient metallurgical deoxidizer in steel and alloy production. With vanadium content typically around 80%, these lumps possess a lustrous metallic surface with a silvery-grey tone, reflecting low surface oxidation and high purity.
Their cost-effective profile makes them attractive for large-scale operations seeking reliable deoxidation without compromising alloy quality. In metallurgical processes, oxygen dissolved in molten metal can lead to porosity, reduced ductility, and poor mechanical properties. FeV80 acts swiftly as a deoxidizing agent by reacting with residual oxygen to form stable vanadium oxides, which then coalesce into slag and are removed.
Beyond deoxidation, vanadium introduces fine vanadium carbides during solidification, contributing to grain refinement and enhanced strength. This dual functionality is especially useful in producing high-performance structural and tool steels, where both cleanliness and mechanical integrity are crucial.
The lump form ensures easy handling and controlled feeding into furnaces or ladles. Compared with powders, lumps generate less dust, improving workplace safety and minimizing material loss. Their relatively high melting point allows retention of physical form until fully integrated into the melt, promoting uniform distribution.
