What Is The Price Of Ferrovanadium 80 ?

Dec 10, 2025

Leave a message

1. What Is the Price of Ferrovanadium 80?​

Ferrovanadium 80​ (often written FeV80) is an alloy containing about 80% vanadium; the balance is mainly iron, with small amounts of carbon, aluminum, and silicon depending on production method. It is the highest common commercial grade of ferrovanadium, used where maximum vanadium content is needed for strengthening steel and alloys.

Indicative Price Range (Late 2024 / Early 2025)​

USD 35 – 45 per kg​ of alloy (equivalent to USD 35,000 – 45,000 per metric ton)
Prices are typically quoted FOB​ major producing countries (China, Russia, South Africa) or CIF​ buyer's port.
Fluctuations depend on:
Vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) raw material costs (major driver)
Global steel demand (construction, automotive, oil & gas tubing)
Export/import policies and tariffs
Currency exchange rates (notably RMB/USD)
Note:​ Spot prices can move quickly - for example, if V₂O₅ prices surge due to mine disruptions or increased Chinese steel output, FeV80 prices rise correspondingly.

 

2. What Is the Price of Fe Vanadium 50?​

Fe Vanadium 50​ (or Ferrovanadium 50, FeV50) contains about 50% vanadium. It is a lower‑grade ferrovanadium, used where full 80% V content is unnecessary, allowing cost savings while still adding vanadium's strengthening effects.

Indicative Price Range (Late 2024 / Early 2025)​

USD 20 – 28 per kg​ of alloy (equivalent to USD 20,000 – 28,000 per metric ton)
Cheaper per ton than FeV80, but cost per kilogram of actual vanadium is higher because of the larger iron portion.
Used in applications that do not require the highest vanadium concentration or where steel specs permit lower additions.

Factors Affecting Ferrovanadium Prices​

Vanadium Pentoxide (V₂O₅) Cost​ – Main raw material; price changes directly impact ferrovanadium cost.
Global Steel Market​ – HSLA and high-performance steel demand drives ferrovanadium consumption.
Supply Sources​ – China, Russia, South Africa dominate production; trade policies or sanctions shift availability.
Energy & Production Costs​ – Electrothermal reduction processes are energy intensive.
Currency Fluctuations​ – Especially USD vs. producer currency (e.g., ZAR, RUB).

3. What Is Fe Vanadium 80 Used For?​

Fe Vanadium 80​ (also called Ferrovanadium 80​ or FeV80) is an iron‑vanadium alloy containing about 80% vanadium​ by weight. It is the highest common commercial ferrovanadium grade and is used when maximum vanadium content is needed in a small addition to achieve specific metallurgical effects.

Key Applications​

Industry / Use
Purpose of Adding FeV80
Why High V Content Matters
High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) Steels​
Improves strength, toughness, and wear resistance
Small additions of V (via FeV80) produce fine vanadium carbides/nitrides that strengthen steel without excessive alloy weight
Tool Steels & Die Steels​
Increases hardness, red hardness, and abrasion resistance
High V ensures sufficient carbide former for cutting and forming tools
Aerospace & Aircraft Parts​
Enhances fatigue resistance and high-temperature strength
Precise, potent V addition improves performance in landing gear, turbine components, fasteners
Oil & Gas Tubing (Line Pipe)​
Improves sulfide stress cracking resistance and strength
Small high‑V doses give required mechanical properties in sour gas environments
Specialty Alloys​
Creates vanadium‑rich microstructures for magnets, nuclear applications
Maximizes V concentration in controlled additions
Why choose FeV80?​
Potency:​ Because it is ~80% V, a small weight of FeV80 delivers a large amount of vanadium, allowing precise control in steel chemistry.
Cleanliness:​ Less iron dilution compared to lower‑grade ferrovanadium, so final alloy meets tight composition specs.
Performance:​ Critical in applications where every kilogram of steel must meet exact mechanical and corrosion‑resistance targets.

 

4. What Is Fe Vanadium 50 Used For?​

Fe Vanadium 50​ (or Ferrovanadium 50, FeV50) contains about 50% vanadium. It is a lower‑cost option used where the full potency of FeV80 is not required, but vanadium's strengthening benefits are still desired.

Key Applications​

Industry / Use
Purpose of Adding FeV50
Why Medium V Content Is Acceptable
Structural Steels​ (buildings, bridges)
Increases yield strength and toughness
V improves grain refinement; 50% grade provides enough V economically
Rebar (reinforcing bar)​
Enhances strength and ductility in concrete reinforcement
Often specified for rebar grades where V addition rates are higher by weight, so FeV50 lowers cost
General Engineering Steels​
Boosts hardenability and wear resistance
Sufficient V for carbide formation without overspecifying
Cast Irons​
Modifies graphite structure and strength
Medium V content aids inoculation; cheaper than FeV80 for large castings
Non‑Critical Alloy Production​
Adjusts alloy chemistry in less demanding applications
Cost savings outweigh need for highest V concentration
Why choose FeV50?​
Cost Efficiency:​ Cheaper per ton than FeV80; useful when steel specs allow lower V concentrations or larger addition weights.
Flexibility in Dosing:​ In applications requiring higher total V addition by mass (e.g., rebar), FeV50 can be more practical.
Availability:​ Often more readily available in regions where ultra‑high‑grade FeV80 is less common.

Summary:​

Fe Vanadium 80​ is used where the highest vanadium potency is needed - high‑performance steels, tools, aerospace, and critical infrastructure requiring precise mechanical properties.
Fe Vanadium 50​ is used for cost‑sensitive, high‑volume steel products like structural steel and rebar, where vanadium's benefits are needed but ultra‑high concentrations are unnecessary.
Both grades play essential roles in modern metallurgy, helping manufacturers tailor strength, toughness, and durability of metal products.
