Introduction
Anyone comparing FeV50 prices for the first time usually notices something confusing: the price range is huge. Some suppliers quote by the ton, others by the kilogram, and different platforms show numbers that seem unrelated.
But the variation actually follows a few simple rules. Here's a practical breakdown to help make sense of it.
Products Description
Q1. Why does the price per ton differ so much between suppliers?
▸ Because not all FeV50 is produced or traded the same way.
Manufacturers who offer bulk-order pricing typically quote in the range of $13,000–$21,000 USD per ton, a range that reflects:
production cost differences,
purity and chemistry stability,
packaging and delivery terms,
and the supplier's actual position in the market (factory vs trader).
A lower number usually signals either a softer grade, recycled feedstock, or a trading offer with limited volume behind it.
Q2. Why do some prices appear as $10–$15 per kg?
▸ This is simply another way of expressing the same market.
$10–$15/kg works out to $10,000–$15,000 per ton, often used on platforms where small-lot or laboratory quantities are listed.
The number looks smaller because it's quoted per kilogram, not because the product is cheaper.
These offers often target:
small batches,
sampling,
or markets where users buy by weight rather than by container.
They're not indicative of bulk industrial pricing.
Q3. What about "$900–$1000 per ton" listings? Why are they so low?
▸ These numbers usually do not refer to standard FeV50.
They often represent:
mixed-grade vanadium alloys,
off-spec or recycled material,
inaccurate listings,
or products mislabeled as FeV50.
Industrial-grade FeV50 simply cannot be produced at such a low cost.
Any quote far below the normal market should be approached with caution.
Q4. Does quantity affect FeV50 pricing?
▸ Very much.
Bulk shipments-full-container or multi-container loads-receive significantly better pricing because:
logistics per unit cost drops,
packaging is standardized,
and suppliers prioritize committed long-term volume.
Smaller quantities naturally carry a higher price per ton or per kilogram.
Q5. How does purity and consistency influence the price?
▸ FeV50 is not sold by V-content alone.
The real price driver is batch consistency:
stable V% within tight tolerances,
low impurities (C, S, P),
predictable dissolution behavior,
and screened particle size.
Higher-consistency material commands a higher and more stable price-because it performs reliably in steelmaking.
Q6. Why do direct quotes matter so much?
▸ Because no published price represents the real number a customer receives.
Actual pricing depends on:
grade & purity,
monthly volume,
shipment window,
destination port,
payment terms,
packaging type,
stock availability at that moment.
That's why FeV50 pricing only becomes meaningful when all conditions are aligned.
