Overview of Vanadium
Vanadium is a rare metal with the silver-white appearance. It is a high-melting metal with the melting point of 1902℃ and the density of 6.1 g/cm3.
Vanadium has weak conductivity which is only one tenth as conductive as copper.
Compact Vanadium is stable to oxygen, nitrogen, or hydrogen at room temperature, and resistant to hydrochloric acid, dilute sulfuric acid, alkali solutions, and seawater corrosion. Vanadium is corroded by acid, hydrofluoric acid or concentrated sulfuric acid.

Application of Vanadium
Vanadium has many excellent physical and chemical properties, so Vanadium is widely used.
Most of the original Vanadium was used in steel, increasing the strength, toughness and abrasion resistance of steel.
Most of the original Vanadium was used in steel, increasing the strength, toughness and abrasion resistance of steel.
About 90% of Vanadium is used in the steel industry, and Vanadium is used in steel mainly by adding Vanadium to improve strength and toughness. If Vanadium 0.1% is added to structural steel, the strength can be increased by 10%~20%, the structural weight can be reduced by 15%~25%, and the cost can be reduced by 8%~10%.
Later people gradually discovered the Vanadium in the Titanium alloy excellent improvement function, and applied to the aerospace field. With the development of science and technology, Vanadium is used more and more widely in non-steel fields, including aerospace, chemistry, batteries, optics and many other fields. Vanadium alloys are also used in magnetic materials, hard alloys, superconducting materials (such as V3Ga) and nuclear reactor materials. In addition to the above application fields, Vanadium also has a wide range of USES in glass, ceramics, medicine and other fields.
