Specifications of Ferrovanadium 80 (FeV80)

Ferrovanadium 80, also known as ferro vanadium 80, FeV80, Iron Vanadium 80, or Vanadium Iron 80, is a high-purity ferroalloy composed of approximately 80% vanadium and 20% iron, with trace impurities strictly controlled. As a premium grade of Industrial Ferrovanadium, it is widely used in applications requiring exceptional strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance, such as aerospace, tool manufacturing, and nuclear industries. Below are the detailed specifications of FeV80, aligned with international standards and practical industrial requirements.

 

1. Chemical Composition​

The core specification of FeV80 is its high vanadium content, which directly determines its alloying efficiency and performance. Impurities are tightly limited to ensure minimal impact on the final steel or metal product.

Element​	Content Range​	Typical Value​	Standard Reference​
Vanadium (V)	78–82%	80%	ASTM A100-17, GB/T 4139-2012
Iron (Fe)	18–22%	20%	ASTM A100-17, GB/T 4139-2012
Silicon (Si)	≤0.5%	0.3%	ASTM A100-17, GB/T 4139-2012
Aluminum (Al)	≤0.3%	0.2%	ASTM A100-17, GB/T 4139-2012
Carbon (C)	≤0.1%	0.08%	ASTM A100-17, GB/T 4139-2012
Sulfur (S)	≤0.05%	0.03%	ASTM A100-17, GB/T 4139-2012
Phosphorus (P)	≤0.05%	0.04%	ASTM A100-17, GB/T 4139-2012

 

2. Physical Properties​

FeV80's physical characteristics are tailored to ensure ease of handling, storage, and integration into metallurgical processes.

Property​	Specification​	Notes​
Appearance	Silver-gray metallic lumps or granules	Free from visible oxidation or contamination
Density	~7.2 g/cm³	Higher than lower vanadium grades (e.g., FeV70: ~7.0 g/cm³)
Melting Point	~1480–1520°C	Depends on impurity levels
Particle Size	10–50 mm (customizable upon request)	Crushed or lump form for easy dosing
Moisture Content	≤0.5%	Packaged in moisture-proof materials

 

3. Quality Standards​

FeV80 is produced in compliance with global industry standards to guarantee consistency and reliability:

ASTM A100-17: Standard Specification for Ferrovanadium.

GB/T 4139-2012: Chinese National Standard for Ferrovanadium.

ISO 5441:1980: International Standard for Ferrovanadium alloys.

These standards ensure that FeV80 meets strict criteria for vanadium content, impurity limits, and physical form, making it suitable for critical applications.

 

4. Packaging and Storage​

To preserve quality, FeV80 is packaged and stored under controlled conditions:

Packaging: Sealed in 1-ton jumbo bags, 25 kg moisture-proof bags, or bulk containers lined with anti-corrosion materials.

Storage: Stored in dry, well-ventilated warehouses to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption. Shelf life is typically 12 months under proper storage.

 

5. Key Applications Linked to Specifications​

FeV80's high vanadium content (>78%) and low impurities (e.g., Si ≤0.5%, Al ≤0.3%) make it ideal for:

High-speed tool steels: Enhances hardness and wear resistance in cutting tools and drills.

Aerospace alloys: Improves strength-to-weight ratio in turbine blades and landing gear.

Nuclear-grade stainless steels: Ensures corrosion resistance and low neutron absorption in reactor components.
