Quality Requirements for Ferrovanadium Used in Construction Steel

Composition, Purity, and Physical Standards for FeV in Rebars & Structural Steel
When ferrovanadium (FeV) is used in construction steel​ (e.g., rebar, beams, high‑strength low‑alloy or micro‑alloyed structural steel), the quality must ensure consistent mechanical properties and reliable processing.

Key Quality Parameters

Parameter
Typical Requirement for Construction Steel
Reason
Vanadium content
40–80 % (commonly FeV40–FeV50)
Provides sufficient V for precipitation strengthening & grain refinement
Aluminum (Al)
≤ 1.5 % (lower is better)
Excess Al can cause inclusions, affect weldability
Silicon (Si)
≤ 2.0 %
High Si can alter steel chemistry, affect toughness
Carbon (C)
≤ 0.20 % (preferably ≤ 0.10 % for weldable steels)
Lower C improves ductility and weldability
Phosphorus (P)
≤ 0.05 %
P causes embrittlement, especially in seismic zones
Sulfur (S)
≤ 0.05 %
S forms sulfide inclusions, reduces toughness
Nitrogen (N)
Controlled (typically < 0.05 %)
Excessive N can cause strain aging in rebar
Size & Shape
Lump 10–80 mm or crushed/granular as per steel mill feed system
Ensures smooth furnace/ladle addition, avoids dust
Uniformity
Homogeneous composition batch‑to‑batch
Guarantees consistent steel strength and toughness

Additional Considerations

  • Low gas content (O, H)​ preferred to avoid porosity in steel.
  • Trace elements​ (Cu, Ni, Cr) may be restricted if they interfere with corrosion performance.
  • Certificate of Analysis (CoA)​ required for each batch, referencing applicable standards (ASTM A481, ISO 5448, or customer specs).
  • Packaging: Moisture‑proof, labeled with grade, batch number, and analysis.
Construction‑specific benefit: Vanadium in FeV refines ferrite grain size and forms fine VC precipitates, increasing yield strength​ and fatigue resistance​ of rebar and structural sections without large carbon additions.
