DESCRIPTION
By adding ferrovanadium to steel, the toughness of the resulting alloy is significantly improved. This is because ferrovanadium enhances the grain refinement process during steel production. Finer grains in the steel matrix lead to increased toughness, as the smaller grain boundaries prevent crack propagation.
Additionally, ferrovanadium also strengthens the steel by forming vanadium carbides. These carbides act as obstacles to dislocation movement, which increases the strength of the steel. The presence of vanadium carbides also improves the wear resistance of steel, making it suitable for applications that require durability.
