Abstract:
Ferrovanadium carbide addition agents comprising 75 to 85% vanadium, 8 to 12% carbon, 8 to 12% iron, less than 2% oxygen and having a density of from about 5. 8 to about 6. 2. The addition agents are produced by fusing vanadium oxide, iron and carbon at about 1700. degree. C. to about 2100. degree. C.
