Vanadium is a soft, ductile, conductive, corrosion-resistant metal with a low density of 6.0 g/cm3. It has a melting point of 1910C (3470F). Vanadium is known for its high-strength at elevated temperatures, low-temperature, ductility, low rate of neutron embrittlement and superconductivity. It is often used as an alloy additive.When mixed with alloys such as steel, vanadium lowers the ductile to brittle transition temperature and increases the toughness creating a high-strength low-alloy steel.Vanadium is used for products in the automotive, oil & gas, nuclear energy, medical and electronics industries. ATI produces it in bar, billet, chips/turnings, plate, sheet strip, rod, tube and wire forms.OVERVIEW The requirement for high-performance, lightweight space propulsion systems has prompted rapid investigation of refractory metals that are capable of withstanding high stress levels at elevated temperatures, and also have a low ductile-to-brittle transition temperature for withstanding high frequency vibrations at cryogenic temperatures. The metals which demonstrate these requirements are the Niobium based alloys. C-103 niobium was selected to satisfy initial design requirements because of its excellent fabricability. C-103 niobium is considered the most "forgiveable" Niobium alloy from the standpoint of welding and spinning. Hardware which has had as much as 600" of TIG weldments formed after welding and coating has withstood a 2T bend at -196C (-320F) after the unit had completed its duty cycle. Although it is considered a first generation alloy, succeeding Nb-1 Zr, C-103 niobium was developed to replace the weaker alloys, but retain thedesirable formability characteristics and welding properties. This Niobium-Hafnium-Titanium alloy satisfies most rocket engine applications for temperatures up to 1482C (2700F) because of superior mechanical properties at all temperatures. Extensive testing of coated components has shown that the reliability of Niobium has greatly reduced program costs as the components have been used for as many as ten times the duty cycle. Niobium also offers tremendous weight savings over many other rocket engine design materials. Niobium base alloys are finding wide use in most major aerospace programs in many different fabricated forms. NOMINAL CHEMICAL COMPOSITION Table 1.
