Difference Between Ferrovanadium and Vanadium Metal

 Comparing Alloy Additive vs. Pure Element
Parameter
Ferrovanadium (FeV)
Vanadium Metal (V)
Composition
Fe + 40–80 % V (plus minor Al, Si, C)
>99 % pure vanadium
Form
Lump, crushed, powder
Lump, powder, foil, rod
Primary use
Add V to steel/iron efficiently
Specialty alloys, aerospace, nuclear, chemical catalysts
Addition method
Added to molten iron/steel in furnace
Used in non‑ferrous alloys, R&D, small additions
Cost
Lower cost per kg of V content (because Fe dilutes)
More expensive per kg due to purity and processing
Handling
Easier in steelmaking (less reactive with furnace atmosphere)
More reactive, pyrophoric in fine form; requires careful storage
Effect in steel
Controlled V addition, avoids excessive residuals
Too costly for bulk steel alloying; used where ultra‑pure V needed

Key Differences

  • Purpose: FeV is for bulk vanadium alloying in ferrous metals; V metal is for specialty non‑ferrous alloys, superconductors, nuclear applications.
  • Economics: FeV is cheaper way to get V into steel; V metal is reserved for high‑tech uses requiring purity.
  • Reactivity: Vanadium metal is more chemically reactive (can ignite in air when powdered); ferrovanadium is more stable in steelmaking conditions.
