Applications
Vanadium metal is important in a number of areas. Its structural
strength and neutron cross-section properties make it useful in nuclear
applications. The metal is used for producing rust-resistant springs and
steels used for making tools. About 80% of the vanadium now produced is
used as ferrovanadium or as a steel additive. Vanadium foil is also used
as a bonding agent in binding titanium to steel and is being developed for
usage in storage batteries.
Forms
H Cross Company can provide Vanadium in sheet and foil sizes to suit
