Ferro Vanadium Lump FeV50 | FeV50-A & FeV50-B

 

Ferro Vanadium Lump is an iron-vanadium alloy used as a vanadium-bearing addition in steelmaking and alloy production. The current product specification on this page provides two FeV50 grades: FeV50-A and FeV50-B.

The main purchasing difference between these two grades is not only vanadium content. Al, P, Si and C limits also differ, so the correct grade should be selected from your steel chemistry and acceptance specification.

For an actual order, send us your required FeV grade, vanadium range, impurity limits, lump size, quantity, packing, destination port and required quality documents.

You can also review our ferro vanadium product range if you require another FeV grade.

 

Ferro vanadium is used when vanadium needs to be introduced into steel through an iron-based ferroalloy. The material is supplied in lump form for metallurgical charging.

In steel production, the important purchasing question is not simply whether the material is called "ferro vanadium." You should confirm:

• the vanadium range;
• maximum Al, P, Si and C limits;
• required lump size;
• batch COA and inspection requirements;
• packing and shipment conditions.

These items determine whether the supplied FeV matches your steelmaking specification.

 

The current page provides two FeV50 specifications. The values below are reproduced from the existing product data.

Grade	V (%)	Al Max. (%)	P Max. (%)	Si Max. (%)	C Max. (%)
FeV50-A	48–55	1.5	0.07	2.0	0.4
FeV50-B	45–55	2.0	0.10	2.5	0.6

FeV50-A uses tighter published limits for Al, P, Si and C than FeV50-B. If one of these impurities is critical to your steel grade, use the exact maximum value in your purchase specification instead of ordering only by the term "FeV50".

 

Start with the Required Vanadium Range

FeV50-A is currently listed with V 48–55%, while FeV50-B is listed with V 45–55%. Confirm the required vanadium range against your alloying calculation before selecting the grade.

Check Carbon

The current maximum C limit is 0.4% for FeV50-A and 0.6% for FeV50-B. If additional carbon input needs to remain controlled in your steel route, include the required C maximum directly in the RFQ.

Check Silicon

FeV50-A lists Si 2.0% max, while FeV50-B lists Si 2.5% max. Compare these values with your own steel specification rather than assuming all FeV50 materials use the same silicon limit.

Check Phosphorus and Aluminum

FeV50-A also uses tighter published Al and P limits. If these elements are included in your incoming-material acceptance specification, they should appear in both the purchase order and batch quality document.

 

High-Strength Steel

Ferro vanadium is used as a vanadium-bearing alloy addition in high-strength steel production. The exact FeV addition should be calculated from the initial steel chemistry, target vanadium content and production route.

Alloy Steel

FeV can also be used in alloy steel production where vanadium is included in the target composition. In this case, the correct FeV grade should be selected according to both V content and impurity limits.

Automotive and Construction Steel

The existing product information identifies automotive and construction steel as application directions for ferro vanadium. If the material is intended for one of these routes, confirm the required final steel specification before selecting FeV50-A or FeV50-B.

Other Vanadium-Alloyed Steel

If your production uses another vanadium-bearing steel grade, send the target chemistry and internal raw-material limits so the appropriate FeV specification can be confirmed before quotation.

 

The percentage of vanadium determines the amount of vanadium-bearing alloy introduced with each unit of ferro vanadium.

A purchasing comparison should therefore use the same basis:

Required steel chemistry → target V addition → selected FeV grade → actual batch V result.

Do not compare two FeV quotations only by price per metric ton if the vanadium content or impurity limits are different.

 

This product is supplied in lump form. The current source page does not publish a reliable fixed particle-size range, so the required lump size should be confirmed before quotation.

Specify the Required Size

If your furnace charging system requires a defined particle-size range, state the minimum and maximum size in the RFQ.

Control Fines and Oversize if Necessary

If excessive fines or oversize material affects your material handling or furnace practice, include the acceptable tolerance in the purchase specification.

Check Delivered Condition

When FeV arrives, inspect the physical condition of the lumps together with the packing and batch identification before the material is accepted for production.

 

Chemical Composition

For FeV50, the batch should be compared with the agreed V, Al, P, Si and C limits rather than approved from the product name alone.

Batch COA

If your procurement procedure requires a Certificate of Analysis, include the COA requirement before order confirmation.

A practical acceptance sequence is:

Purchase specification → FeV grade → batch identification → COA → incoming inspection.

Third-Party Inspection

If SGS, BV or another third-party inspection is required, state the required sampling method and inspection scope before shipment so the arrangement can be confirmed.

Acceptance Method

If your internal standard defines a specific test method, sampling frequency or chemical acceptance rule, include those requirements in the purchase specification before supply.

 

 

 

The current source page does not provide a complete fixed packing specification, MOQ or lead time. These terms should therefore be confirmed for the actual order rather than published as one universal value.

Packing

Tell us the required bag type, net weight, pallet requirement or other export packing conditions when requesting a quotation.

MOQ

MOQ should be confirmed according to the FeV grade, lump-size requirement, packing and current supply arrangement.

Delivery Time

Final lead time depends on the required FeV specification, quantity, packing, production arrangement, destination and shipping schedule.

Shipping Basis

Include the destination port and required Incoterm so the quotation can be prepared on the correct FOB, CFR, CIF or other agreed commercial basis.

 

 

Specification Matching

Send us the required V, Al, P, Si and C limits together with the FeV grade you currently use. We can compare the requirement with the available material before quotation.

Lump Size Confirmation

If your furnace requires a specific particle-size range, include it in the inquiry so the physical specification can be confirmed together with the chemistry.

Quality Documentation

If you require a batch COA, inspection report or third-party inspection, state the document and sampling requirements before shipment.

Export and Delivery Support

Provide the quantity, packing, destination port and Incoterm so the applicable supply and shipping arrangement can be confirmed for the order.
