Vanadium(V) Metal & Powder Description:

Pure vanadium is bright white, soft, and ductile. Vanadium is found in about 65 different minerals, some phosphate rocks, iron ores, in some crude oils and small percentages in meteorites. It does not tarnish in air and is not affected by moisture at room temperature, but above 660°C, it readily oxidizes. The metal is very resistant to corrosion and has good structural strength.

Vanadium(V) Metal & Powder Typical Applications:

1) Steel additive, vanadium- enhanced batteries, vanadium powder(V), vanadium tube, vanadium, wolfram, steel additive, vanadium alloys, specialty steels, tool steels, battery additive, bonding agent, UN 3089, wolfram, CAS 7440-62-2,, alloys, specialty steels, tool steels, chemical catalysts, pigments, and bonding agent.

2) Vanadium is compatible with iron and titanium, therefore vanadium foil is used in cladding titanium to steel. The moderate thermal neutron-capture cross-section and the short half-life of the isotopes produced by neutron capture makes vanadium a suitable material for the inner structure of a fusion reactor. Several vanadium alloys show superconducting behavior. The first A15 phase superconductor was a vanadium compound, V3Si, which was discovered in 1952. Vanadium-gallium tape is used in superconducting magnets (17.5 teslas or 175,000 gauss). The structure of the superconducting A15 phase of V3Ga is similar to that of the more common Nb3Sn and Nb3Ti.

3) The most common oxide of vanadium, vanadium pentoxide V2O5, is used as a catalyst in manufacturing sulfuric acid by the contact process and as an oxidizer in maleic anhydride production. Vanadium pentoxide is also used in making ceramics. Another oxide of vanadium, vanadium dioxide VO2, is used in the production of glass coatings, which blocks infrared radiation (and not visible light) at a specific temperature. Vanadium oxide can be used to induce color centers in corundum to create simulated alexandrite jewelry, although alexandrite in nature is a chrysoberyl. The possibility to use vanadium redox couples in both half-cells, thereby eliminating the problem of cross contamination by diffusion of ions across the membrane is the advantage of vanadium redox rechargeable batteries. Vanadate can be used for protecting steel against rust and corrosion by electrochemical conversion coating. Lithium vanadium oxide has been proposed for use as a high energy density anode for lithium ion batteries, at 745 Wh/L when paired with a lithium cobalt oxide cathode. It has been proposed by some researchers that a small amount, 40 to 270 ppm, of vanadium in Wootz steel and Damascus steel, significantly improves the strength of the material, although it is unclear what the source of the vanadium was.
