Vanadium
Vanadium, a silver-white metal, has a melting point (1890°C), a boiling point of 3380°C, and a density of 6.110g/cm³. It is not easy to oxidize in the air and can adsorb hydrofluoric acid, nitrides and aqua regia. chloride. It is also stable in alkali, sulfuric acid and salt. Hydrogen often penetrates widely with iron-iron, vanadium compounds and metallic vanadium. Metallurgy, aerospace, chemical and battery industries.

Application of Vanadium
Vanadium is an important alloying element, mainly used in the steel industry. Vanadium-containing steel has excellent characteristics such as high strength, high toughness, and good wear resistance. Therefore, it is widely used in machinery, automobiles, shipbuilding, railways, aviation, bridges, electronic technology, defense industry and other industries, and its consumption accounts for about the consumption of vanadium. 85%, the consumption of the steel industry accounts for the largest proportion of the use of vanadium. The demand of the steel industry directly affects the vanadium market. Approximately 10% of vanadium is used to produce titanium alloys required by the aerospace industry. Vanadium can be used as a stabilizer and strengthening agent in titanium alloys, so that titanium alloys have good ductility and plasticity. In addition, vanadium is mainly used as a catalyst and coloring agent in the chemical industry. Vanadium is also used to produce rechargeable hydrogen storage batteries or vanadium redox storage batteries.
