Together with niobium, tantalum, tungsten and molybdenum, it is called a refractory metal. It is malleable, hard and non-magnetic. It is not easily oxidized in the air and is soluble in hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid and aqua regia. It is not easy to corrode and is quite stable in alkali, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid. Vanadium is often used in metallurgy, aerospace, chemical and battery industries in the form of ferrovanadium, vanadium compounds and metallic vanadium.
Ferro-vanadium Master Alloy
In nature, vanadium rarely forms independent minerals, and is mainly found in vanadium-titanium magnetite, phosphate rock, uranium-bearing sandstone and siltstone. In addition, a large amount of vanadium is found in bauxite and carbonaceous materials. (Such as petroleum, coal).
