Potential sources
In addition to the extensive reserves of titaniferous magnetites containing vanadium in Australia, China, Russia and South Africa there are several other deposits of magnetites and other materials containing vanadium from which it could be extracted in the future. [ read more ]
Production
Vanadium from the magnetite ores of Russia and China and a large proportion of the vanadium from the magnetite ore in South Africa, is extracted as a co-product with iron which is converted to steel. [ read more ]
The versatile alloy
Vanadium is an essential constituent in many steels and in some titanium alloys. By the use of vanadium additions high strength, toughness and other properties can be achieved. [ read more ]
