High Purity Vanadium V Powder CAS 7440-62-2, 99%

Description of Vanadium Powder :

Vanadium powder is a metal powder with important application value, made of fine powder of vanadium metal. Vanadium is a rare metal in nature in the form of compounds with high melting points, high density, good hardness, and excellent chemical stability.

Vanadium is a silvery-gray metal. Vanadium melting point is 1890℃, which belongs to the list of high melting point rare metals. Vanadium boiling point is 3380℃, pure vanadium is hard, non-magnetic, ductile, but if it contains a small number of impurities, especially nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, etc., can significantly reduce its plasticity.

Chemical Composition of Vanadium Powder Powder V powder

Application of Vanadium Powder :    

Superalloy: Vanadium is an important alloying element in superalloys, which can significantly improve the high-temperature strength, hardness, and creep resistance of alloys. Vanadium powder added to superalloy as an additive can effectively improve the performance of the alloy and is widely used in aviation, aerospace, energy, and other fields. 

Stainless steel: As a carbide forming agent and hardener, vanadium in stainless steel can improve hardness, wear, and corrosion resistance. As an additive in the preparation of stainless steel, vanadium powder can optimize the properties of stainless steel and improve its use range and reliability. 

Aerospace: The application of vanadium in aerospace is mainly in high-temperature structural materials and coating materials. Due to its excellent high-temperature properties and chemical stability, vanadium is widely used to manufacture high-temperature components and coatings for aircraft engines. As an additive of high-temperature structural materials and coating materials, vanadium powder can improve the materials' high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and service life. 

Energy: The application of vanadium powder in the energy field is mainly reflected in secondary batteries and fuel cells. Vanadium batteries have the advantages of high energy density, long life, and fast charging, making them an ideal choice in energy storage. Vanadium powder is an active substance in secondary batteries and fuel cells, providing high energy density and long-life battery performance. 

Chemical industry: In the chemical industry, vanadium powder is used as a catalyst and chemical reagent to promote the conduct of chemical reactions. For example, in petrochemicals, vanadium powder is used as a catalyst to improve the efficiency and yield of oil cracking. In addition, vanadium powder can be used as a colorant and enhancer for glass and ceramics, as well as an electronic paste for the electronics industry. 

Other fields: Vanadium powder has other wide applications. For example, in the glass manufacturing industry, vanadium powder can be added to the glass as a colorant to change the color and optical properties. In the medical field, vanadium has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects and can be used in drug preparation and therapy. In addition, vanadium can also be used to make magnetic materials, superconducting materials, and optical materials.

Production Method of  Vanadium Powder :    

Chemical method 

The chemical method is one of the most effective methods for making vanadium powder, and its basic principle is to reduce vanadium compounds through chemical reaction into metal vanadium and then through grinding and processing to obtain vanadium powder. The main production processes of the chemical process are as follows: 

(1) Mix vanadium-containing compounds (such as vanadium pentoxide) and reducing agents (such as aluminum powder or carbon) following a certain proportion, and add an appropriate amount of solvent (such as water or organic solvents). 

(2) This mixture gets heated to a high temperature and kept for a set period to ensure the vanadium compounds react with the reduction agent and create vanadium metal. 

(3) After the end of the reaction, the obtained metal vanadium is crushed and processed to obtain a certain particle size and purity of vanadium powder. 

(4) The obtained vanadium powder is removed and purified to obtain a high-purity product. 

Physical method 

The physical method is another method of producing vanadium powder, and the basic principle is to prepare vanadium metal or vanadium alloy by physical methods (such as evaporation, sputtering, electrolysis, etc.) and then get vanadium powder by grinding and processing. The main production processes of physical law are as follows: 

(1) Select a suitable vanadium-containing compound as a raw material and prepare it into a molten state. 

(2) Using physical methods (such as evaporation, sputtering, electrolysis, etc.) to prepare vanadium metal or vanadium alloy from vanadium-containing compounds in the molten state. 

(3) The obtained metal vanadium or vanadium alloy is crushed and processed to obtain a certain particle size and purity of vanadium powder. 

(4) The obtained vanadium powder is removed and purified to obtain a high-purity product. 

Whether it is the chemical or physical method, the reaction conditions, raw material purity, and post-treatment process need to be strictly controlled in the production process to ensure that the vanadium powder produced has high purity and good performance. At the same time, to meet the needs of different application fields, other elements or compounds can also be added during the production process.

Prospect Market of Vanadium Powder : 

First, the growth of the steel and alloy industry will positively impact the vanadium powder market. Vanadium is an excellent steel additive that can improve steel's strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature properties. With the development of the global economy and the continuous advancement of infrastructure construction, the steel and alloy industry will continue to grow. This will drive the demand for vanadium powder, as vanadium powder is the main raw material for the production of vanadium pentoxide. 

Secondly, the trend of vanadium price will have an important impact on the vanadium powder market. Vanadium pentoxide is the main product form of vanadium, and its price will directly affect the demand for vanadium powder. If the price of vanadium pentoxide rises, the demand for vanadium powder will increase, and conversely, the demand will decrease. Therefore, the trend of vanadium prices will have an important impact on the future of the vanadium powder market. 

In addition, technological developments will also have a profound impact on the vanadium powder market. As the world advances in science and technology, new vanadium compounds and alloys are being developed, which can positively impact the market for vanadium powder. For example, new vanadium alloys can replace traditional steel alloys and improve the performance and quality of steel. This will further promote the development of the vanadium powder market.
