Vanadium can more than double the strength of mild steel. That allows steelmakers to produce the high-strength steels needed in buildings, bridges, pipelines, automotive components, and forgings — just to name a few of many high-strength applications. Vanadium also improves the strength and hardness of engineering and tool steels. |
Evraz Stratcor, Inc., part of Evraz Group S.A., offers steel customers 80% ferrovanadium and Vanox™ vanadium. The raw material for these products is an extremely high-purity vanadium oxide produced at the company's Hot Springs, Arkansas plant. Unique facilities at this plant, together with an ISO 9001:2000-certified Quality Management System, yields products that meet the exacting needs of steel producers.
East Metals, also part of the Evraz Group, provides steelmakers with 80% ferrovanadium and a highly efficient vanadium-nitrogen strengthener called Nitrovan® vanadium that lowers steelmaking costs. East Metals ferrovanadium and Nitrovan® vanadium are sourced from the Evraz Group's global facilities and are marketed worldwide.
Experienced representatives and metallurgists from the Stratcor and East Metals sales organizations help steelmakers worldwide use vanadium efficiently. Stratcor, Inc. is also a member of Vanitec — an organization that sponsors research on the properties of vanadium-bearing materials. It also supports projects at leading international research institutions. Based on information obtained from these relationships, Stratcor provides steelmakers with the latest technical information and papers on the production and use of vanadium-strengthened, high-strength steels.
