Vanadium parts, due to their high strength, wear resistance, high-temperature oxidation resistance and excellent alloying performance, are mainly applied in the fields of steel metallurgy, aerospace, energy and chemical engineering, and mostly function in the form of alloys.
Steel metallurgy: The main application field is the manufacturing of high-strength vanadium steel, which is used in construction rebar, Bridges and high-pressure pipelines. It can significantly enhance the strength and toughness of steel and reduce material usage. Produce tool steel and die steel, such as high-speed steel cutting tools and cold working dies, enhance their wear resistance and impact resistance, and extend their service life.
Aerospace and military industry: As a key component of titanium-vanadium alloys and nickel-vanadium alloys, it is used to manufacture high-temperature parts such as aero engine blades and combustion chambers, capable of withstanding high-temperature environments above 1000 ° C.
It is used for the structural framework of spacecraft and missile shells, and with its high strength and lightweight characteristics, it meets the strict requirements of flight loads.
Energy sector: Focus on energy storage and power generation
The electrodes and electrolyte containers for manufacturing all-vanadium REDOX flow batteries feature high stability of vanadium ions during charging and discharging, making them suitable for large-scale energy storage projects (such as wind power and photovoltaic energy storage). Vanadium can be added to the boiler steel tubes used in thermal power plants to enhance the steel's resistance to high-temperature corrosion and cope with the high-temperature flue gas environment inside the boilers.
Chemical engineering and other fields: Corrosion resistance and special functions, used to make the inner lining of chemical reaction vessels or catalyst carriers, capable of resisting the corrosion of strong acids and strong alkalis, especially suitable for the production of strong corrosive media such as sulfuric acid and nitric acid. High-strength springs and bearings for the automotive industry enhance the fatigue strength of parts through vanadium alloying, adapting to long-term and high-frequency force scenarios.
