Ferro Vanadium

The gray metal vanadium was named after the goddess Vanadis, the northern Venus. The first mention of the metal was made by Mexican scientist de Rio in 1801, but it was not isolated until 1869 by H.E. Rosco. 

Application:
Ferro Vanadium is used primarily as an alloying agent for iron and steel and, with the exception of the steel industry, the aerospace market is the primary user of the metal. It is found in deposits of titaniferous magnetite, phosphate rock and uraniferous sandstone and siltstone. Significant amounts are also present in bauxite and carboniferous materials such as crude oil, coal, oil shale and tar sands. Vanadium is usually recovered as a by-product or co-product, and thus world resources of the element are not fully indicative of available supplies. Vanadium is also useful in the production of aerospace titanium alloys and as a catalyst in producing maleic anhydride and sulfuric acid.
