Ferro Vanadium

Description

Ferro Vanadium besides taking care of our health, vanadium is the undisputed protagonist of steel production and chemistry

The name Vanadium was assigned to the mineral by a Swedish chemist who found a mysterious element in a piece of cast iron and named it Vanadium, from Vanadis, name of the Scandinavian goddess of beauty and love. Vanadium is not used alone but a small dose is added to steel to make it stainless and more resistant to shocks and vibrations: fundamental for jet engines, electric tools, and armors. Vanadium compounds are useful catalysts in chemical reactions, that is, they help different elements to react together without being consumed.

Chrome-Vanadium steel items are found in many homes and garages, for example in the metal parts of tools such as pliers.
