Key Differences
- •
Purpose: FeV is for bulk vanadium alloying in ferrous metals; V metal is for specialty non‑ferrous alloys, superconductors, nuclear applications. - •
Economics: FeV is cheaper way to get V into steel; V metal is reserved for high‑tech uses requiring purity. - •
Reactivity: Vanadium metal is more chemically reactive (can ignite in air when powdered); ferrovanadium is more stable in steelmaking conditions.
