80
percent
vanadium
dense
lumps
are
a
premium-grade
FeV
alloy
(ferrovanadium)
designed
to
elevate
the
performance
of
structural
steel
and
pressure
vessel
plates—materials
critical
to
infrastructure,
energy,
and
industrial
applications.
With
approximately
80%
vanadium
content,
this
Vanadium
Iron
Alloy
(often
labeled
FeV80,
Ferrovanadium
80,
or
FeVanadium
80)
delivers
unmatched
carbide-forming
potency
and
grain
refinement,
while
its
dense
lump
form
(10-50
mm,
metallic
grey-silver)
ensures
efficient
processing
in
large-scale
steelmaking.
The
result
is
steel
with
superior
strength,
toughness,
and
reliability,
meeting
the
stringent
demands
of
modern
engineering.
Core
Metallurgical
Advantages
Structural
steel
(e.g.,
ASTM
A36,
EN
10025
S355)
and
pressure
vessel
plates
(e.g.,
ASME
SA516,
GB713
Q345R)
require
a
balance
of
strength,
toughness,
and
weldability
to
withstand
static
loads,
dynamic
stresses,
and
extreme
pressures.
Iron
Vanadium
Alloy
80%
addresses
these
needs
through
three
key
mechanisms:
-
Exceptional
Strength
Enhancement:
Vanadium's
strong
affinity
for
carbon
drives
the
formation
of
fine,
thermally
stable
vanadium
carbides
(VC)
during
solidification
and
heat
treatment.
In
structural
steel,
these
VC
particles
(≤1
µm)
act
as
micro-reinforcements,
increasing
yield
strength
by
20-30%
and
ultimate
tensile
strength
(UTS)
by
15-25%
compared
to
non-alloyed
counterparts.
-
Superior
Toughness
&
Impact
Resistance:
Vanadium
refines
austenite
grains
during
heating,
resulting
in
a
finer
ferrite-pearlite
or
bainitic
microstructure.
This
refinement
enhances
toughness,
as
smaller
grains
impede
crack
propagation—critical
for
structural
steel
in
seismic
zones
or
pressure
vessels
exposed
to
low-temperature
environments.
-
Weldability
&
Defect
Resistance:
Ultra-low
impurities
(S
≤
0.03%,
P
≤
0.02%)
in
FeV80
minimize
the
risk
of
weld
defects
like
hot
cracking
and
hydrogen-induced
cold
cracking
(HICC).
This
ensures
strong,
reliable
welds
in
structural
steel
frameworks
and
pressure
vessel
joints.
Dense
Lumps:
Form
&
Functional
Benefits
The
dense,
compact
structure
of
FeV80
lumps
(bulk
density
~5.0
g/cm³)
is
tailored
for
industrial
efficiency:
-
Rapid
Dissolution:
Dense
particles
melt
quickly
in
molten
steel,
ensuring
uniform
vanadium
distribution
and
reducing
furnace
processing
time.
-
Low
Dust
Generation:
Minimal
surface
area
compared
to
powder
reduces
airborne
particles,
improving
workplace
safety
and
material
efficiency.
-
Easy
Handling:
Lumps
are
compatible
with
automated
dosing
systems
and
stackable
for
bulk
storage,
streamlining
operations
in
steel
mills.
