Master Alloys
High purity vanadium is used widely in the production of titanium
alloys for the aerospace industry, where there is no other metallic substitute.
Vanadium-titanium alloys have the best strength-to-weight ratio of any
engineered material on earth.
Mixed
with aluminium, vanadium strengthens and promotes thermal stability in titanium
alloys. Vanadium ensures the alloys
ability to maintain strength at high operating temperatures essential for
materials used in many applications such as engine turbines and airframes. The high strength to weight ratio also improves
fuel efficiency.
