Ferro vanadium
A little vanadium goes a long way: it forms fine carbides that hold grain size down and lift strength and fatigue life, which is why it is in springs, crankshafts and rail steel.
- Grade / purity
- V 50 to 80%
Applications
Automotive parts
Crankshafts, springs, axles
High-stress components in energy and rail industries
