Ferrovanadium FeV80 is a high-vanadium-content alloy widely used in high-strength steels, special steels and value-added steel products, where precise vanadium addition is essential. Its price is closely tracked by steel mills and alloy traders due to its impact on alloy costs per ton of finished steel.
Recent data show that FeV80 transaction prices have weakened slightly, while quotations remain stable. As before, all prices are expressed in CNY 10,000/ton (acceptance with tax).

Compared with FeV50, the absolute price drop is slightly larger in FeV80 transactions, indicating more noticeable pressure on high-grade vanadium alloy deals.
Market Brief
The FeV80 market is showing a mildly weak transaction trend with steady quotations:
- Softening transactions:
The main transaction price range has declined by 0.08 CNY 10,000/ton, moving down to 13.6–13.76 CNY 10,000/ton. This reflects stronger bargaining from steel mills, especially for larger lots and near-term deliveries.
- Stable quotations:
Despite softer deals, mainstream offer levels are still reported at 13.92–14.08 CNY 10,000/ton, with no official adjustment in this assessment. Sellers are pointing to raw material and production cost pressures as reasons to hold quotations.
- Demand conditions:
Downstream demand for FeV80 comes mainly from high-grade steel production, which is influenced by export orders, construction activity, energy projects, and other end-use sectors. Mills remain cautious, aiming to keep alloy stocks lean while ensuring they can meet production schedules.
- Price structure:
The current spread between FeV80 quotations and transactions shows that buyers have some room to negotiate below official offers, but that the market is still relatively orderly and not in free-fall.
Short-Term Outlook
Looking ahead, FeV80 prices are likely to:
- Continue to fluctuate within the current band, with some downside risk on transactions if steel demand remains soft;
- See quotations stay relatively firm as long as vanadium raw materials and production costs remain elevated;
- Provide opportunities for well-prepared buyers to secure competitive prices through volume purchasing or long-term cooperation.
For mills with stable FeV80 consumption, this environment may be used to renegotiate contracts or secure better terms while the market is easing but not yet volatile.
FAQ – Ferrovanadium FeV80 Price
Q1: What is the latest main transaction price for FeV80?
A: The latest main transaction range is 13.6–13.76 CNY 10,000/ton, equivalent to CNY 136,000–137,600 per ton, down 0.08 CNY 10,000/ton (CNY 800/ton).
Q2: What is the current quotation range for FeV80?
A: Main quotations are still 13.92–14.08 CNY 10,000/ton (acceptance with tax), unchanged from the previous level.
Q3: Why is the drop in FeV80 transactions larger than FeV50?
A: FeV80 is a higher-value, higher-content alloy, and small changes in demand or sentiment can lead to more noticeable price adjustments in absolute terms. Buyers are also more aggressive in negotiating high-priced alloys when steel margins are under pressure.
Q4: Is FeV80 suitable for all steel grades?
A: FeV80 is typically used in high-strength or special steels where vanadium content is carefully controlled. Some standard steels may instead use FeV50 or other vanadium sources depending on steel design and cost considerations.
Q5: What details are needed for a firm FeV80 offer?
A: Please provide grade (FeV80), quantity, preferred delivery basis, destination and shipment timing so that a supplier can quote accurately.
