Metallurgical Product Description

Ferrovanadium 60 is an iron alloy that is obtained by reducing vanadium pentoxide with carbon in an electric furnace. It can also be obtained by reducing vanadium pentoxide by the silicon thermal method of an electric furnace. It is widely used as an element additive in smelting vanadium-containing alloy steel and alloy cast iron and is also used to make permanent magnets. Ferrovanadium produced in China includes V401, V402, and other varieties, containing about 40% vanadium.

Product Advantages

The abundance of vanadium in the earth’s crust is 135×10%. There are more than 70 kinds of vanadium minerals, but there are very few single vanadium deposits (only Mina Lagra in Peru is a single deposit. It has been mined.), and they are all symbiotic with other minerals. The raw materials used to produce vanadium include vanadium titanium magnetite (containing VO.4% ~ 1.4%), uranium-vanadium ore (containing V2O51.5% ~ 2.0%), crude oil ash (containing V2O520% ~ 40%), containing vanadium Ferrophosphorus (containing V3%~6%), waste vanadium catalyst, residue from alumina production, etc.

Manufacture And Use

The atomic weight of vanadium is 50. 9414, and its outer electronic structure is 3d4s. Melting point 1902℃. Boiling point 3410℃. The density is 6. 1g/cm (20℃). Vanadium is a malleable metal. The binary phase diagram of vanadium and iron is shown in Figure 1. Vanadium forms a continuous solid solution with iron. When the temperature is lower than 1210°C and in the range of V35% to 55%, the intermetallic compound α (FeV) phase is formed.
