Write a short note on Ferrovanadium ? (In 4- 5 lines)
Answers
Topic : Ferrovanadium
→ It is made up of 2 words
(a) Ferro means iron
(b) vanadium is another element
→ So,we can say that it is an alloy formed by the combination of iron and vanadium in variant ratio.
→ It's main purpose is in alloying of steels.
→ It is also a universal hardener and is anti - corrosive.
→ The percentage of vanadium is maximum.

Explanation:
# Ferrovanadium (FeV) is an alloy formed by combining iron and vanadium with a vanadium content range of 35%-85%.
# The production of this alloy results in a grayish silver crystalline solid that can be crushed into a powder called "ferrovanadium dust".
# Ferrovanadium is a universal hardener, strengthener and anti-corrosive additive for steels like high-strength low-alloy steel, tool steels, as well as other ferrous-based products.
# It has significant advantages over both iron and vanadium individually.
# Ferrovanadium is used as an additive to improve the qualities of ferrous alloys.
# One such use is to improve corrosion resistance to alkaline reagents as well as sulphuric and hydrochloric acids.
# It is also used to improve the tensile strength to weight ratio of the material.
# One application of such steels is in the chemical processing industry for high pressure high throughput fluid handling systems dealing with industrial scale sulphuric acid production.
# It is also commonly used for hand tools e.g. spanners (wrenches), screwdrivers, ratchets, etc.
