Iron Vanadium 70 Grade Briquette
Iron vanadium 70 grade, supplied as dense grey‑black briquettes, is a versatile ferroalloy tailored for specialty steel and valve steel manufacturing. With approximately 70% vanadium content, this material balances effectiveness with economic feasibility, offering a reliable source of vanadium for applications requiring strict control of microstructure and mechanical properties.
The briquette format—compacted into uniform blocks—enhances storage stability, reduces dust emissions, and facilitates accurate dosing in automated or manual charging systems. Specialty steels, such as those used for valves in high‑pressure and high‑temperature environments, demand exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and resistance to deformation.
Vanadium's strong carbide‑forming nature enables the creation of finely dispersed VC particles within the steel matrix. These particles impede grain boundary migration during thermal cycles, yielding a refined structure that improves both toughness and elevated‑temperature strength. In valve steels, this translates into longer service life and reliable sealing performance under cyclic thermal and mechanical loading.
The grey‑black coloration of the briquettes results from slight surface oxidation combined with the inherent dark hue of the alloy, signaling proper processing for metallurgical use. Their high density ensures minimal voids, promoting steady dissolution in molten metal and preventing localized compositional variations. Iron vanadium 70 briquettes integrate seamlessly into electric arc, induction, or ladle furnaces, supporting consistent alloy chemistry across production batches.
