Ferro vanadium belongs to the category of ferroalloy. Ferro vanadium is an alloy which is formed by combining iron and vanadium. Ferrovanadium contains 35% to 85% of vanadium depending on applications of the product in end-use industry. Ferro vanadium is an alloy material that is used in manufacturing of steel. It imparts desirable properties such as abrasion resistance, high temperature and hardenability. Ferro vanadium used for manufacturing of steel offers the end product with high stability against alkalis as well as acids such as sulphuric and hydrochloric acids. In addition, products containing ferro vanadium are at reduced risk to be susceptible to corrosion. Ferro vanadium also helps in reducing the overall weight of the material as well as increasing the overall tensile strength of the end product. In addition, it helps in promoting fine grain size and increasing hardenability through precipitation of nitrides and carbides. Ferro vanadium is manufactured using an electric arc furnace in which scrap iron is melted initially and then it is combined with the mixture of aluminum as well as flux such as calcium fluoride and calcium oxide. It is usually supplied in pallet boxes or in shrink wrapped in super bags.

Dredging is an important industry with its uses in many spheres. As the population of the world keeps on increasing, particularly in the coastal areas, more amount of coastal land needs to be reclaimed and protected from erosion and floods, giving rise to the need of dredging in the coastal areas. Also, due to the increasing sea levels because of global warming, more and more coastal areas are experiencing floods and to prevent such natural disasters or to mitigate their effects, dredging is required. Moreover, as the volume of global trade increases, more and more goods are shipped through the sea using large vessels or ships. Due to this, port infrastructure needs to be expanded and for this purpose dredging is required to keep the ports working. Also, due to a rising demand of oil and gas, exploration for such energy resources is done in remote areas, requiring construction of ports where dredging is required. Lastly, since global tourism industry is also increasing, beaches are needed to be kept in good condition and for this reason dredging is done in such areas as well.
