Vanadium is a silvery-gray, soft, ductile metal with good structural strength. It occurs in a wide range of minerals, such as patronite, vanadinite, carnotite and bauxite. Vanadium metal and alloy products are produced mainly from vanadium pentoxide, vanadium trioxide, and vanadium halide as raw materials, which are processed via reduction using reductants such as carbon, hydrogen, and alkali metals. When exposed to air, vanadium forms a hard, protective oxide lay. Vanadium is also resistant to attack by alkalis, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and salt water.

Alfa Chemistry provides high-quality vanadium and vanadium-based alloys at a competitive price. We can also customize various shapes of vanadium products according to your requirements or drawings.

Pure Vanadium Products

Because of its malleability, ductility, and corrosion-resistant properties, vanadium is increasingly used in the manufacturing industry, such as for use in space vehicles, nuclear reactors and aircraft carriers, etc.

Vanadium-based Alloys

The main use of vanadium is in alloys. The adding of vanadium improves the strength, toughness, and heat resistance.

Vanadium-based alloys we can provide include vanadium-chromium (V-Cr) alloys and vanadium-niobium (V-Nb) alloys.
