The composition of ferrovanadium varies depending on the grade, but it is fundamentally an alloy of iron (Fe) and vanadium (V). The most common grades contain between 35% to 80% vanadium by weight, with the balance being primarily iron and small amounts of other elements.
Ferrovanadium 40% (FeV40) contains approximately 40% vanadium and 55–60% iron, with the remainder consisting of carbon, silicon, and trace impurities.
Ferrovanadium 60% (FeV60) contains around 60% vanadium and 35–40% iron, offering higher vanadium content for more demanding applications.
In addition to iron and vanadium, ferrovanadium may also contain small, controlled amounts of other elements such as:
Carbon (C): Usually less than 0.5% to 2%, depending on the grade.
Silicon (Si): Often limited to around 1–4%.
Manganese, aluminum, or sulfur may also be present in trace amounts.
The exact composition is tailored based on the requirements of the end-use steel or alloy, ensuring optimal performance in strength, durability, and resistance properties. Higher-purity grades are used in specialized applications where strict control over alloying elements is essential.
