The Use of Vanadium - A Brief Review
Abstract:
The use of vanadium, primarily in the steel industry, is reviewed. Reasons for using vanadium. including the solubility, precipitation strengthening, grain control, and weldnbility it provides, are examined. and examples of its use across a range of steels are discussed. The non-ferrous use of vanadium, especially its use in Ti-Al-V alloys. is noted, and some examples of its potential future use are recorded.
