Ferro vanadium 50 (FeV50), a critical alloy additive used to enhance steel's strength and durability, is crafted through a precise, multi-step production process. At ZHEN AN INTERNATIONAL CO., LIMITED (ZhenAn), we combine advanced technology with rigorous quality control to deliver premium FeV50 that meets global standards.
Step 1: Raw Material Selection & Preparation
FeV50 production starts with high-purity raw materials-primarily vanadium-bearing ores (e.g., vanadium-titanium magnetite) and iron sources. At ZhenAn, as a direct factory supplier, we source materials strategically, ensuring traceability and minimizing impurities. This vertical integration eliminates middlemen, reducing costs and guaranteeing raw material quality.
Step 2: Melting & Alloying
The raw materials are loaded into high-temperature furnaces (typically electric arc furnaces or submerged arc furnaces) and melted at 1,600–1,800°C. During melting, precise amounts of vanadium oxide and iron are added to achieve the target 50% vanadium content. Our team monitors temperature and chemical composition in real time to avoid deviations.
Step 3: Refining & Composition Adjustment
Post-melting, the molten metal undergoes refining to remove impurities like sulfur, phosphorus, and silicon. This stage is critical: ZhenAn conducts at least four spectral and chemical tests here, including liquid metal analysis, to ensure the vanadium concentration stays within strict 50% ±0.5% tolerance.
Step 4: Casting & Granulation
The refined molten FeV50 is cast into ingots or directly granulated. These initial products are then crushed and sieved to achieve uniform particle sizes (e.g., 5–50mm), tailored to customer requirements for easy integration into steelmaking processes.
Step 5: Quality Assurance & Packaging
Before final dispatch, every batch faces additional checks: raw material verification, pre-shipment chemical analysis, and particle size distribution testing. ZhenAn's packaging-waterproof plastic woven bags (10kg/25kg units nested in 1MT bulk bags)-ensures products remain intact during transit, even in humid conditions.
Why ZhenAn Stands Out
Beyond production excellence, ZhenAn's strengths amplify your experience:
•Stock & Customization: Ample inventory guarantees on-time delivery; we also customize FeV50 (and ferrosilicon) to your exact specs.
•End-to-End Support: Dedicated account managers track orders, providing real-time updates. Our 24-hour after-sales service resolves issues promptly.
