Vanadium 99.5% alloy metal pure metal from 1gr to 10kg

Vanadium is a very soft transition metal from the vanadium group. It is tough, malleable and non-magnetic. It can be easily alloyed with other elements and thus gains a significant degree of hardness and high mechanical strength. Since vanadium is a base metal, it can react with many non-metals. Due to the passivation, vanadium metal is mostly resistant to acids and bases at room temperature. Only hydrofluoric acid and strong oxidizing acids attack the metal. Vanadium is also able to absorb hydrogen. Hydrogen absorption makes vanadium brittle and easily powdered.

Vanadium is mainly used as an important alloying metal in steels. It is used for construction and tool steels to significantly increase their strength and toughness and thus their resistance to wear. Titanium alloys with vanadium and aluminum content have high stability and excellent heat resistance and are used in aircraft construction. Vanadium compounds are used in vanadium redox accumulators.

Vanadium is used in:

• Steel industry (construction and tool steel);
• aircraft construction (titanium alloys with vanadium and aluminum content);
• Vanadium redox accumulators.
• Vanadium metal has the following properties:

• good toughness and forgeability;
• nonmagnetic;
• easy to alloy;
• reacts with many nonmetals;
• resistant to non-oxidizing acids and bases.
