Vanadium (Lat. vanadium) is a metal found in about 65 different minerals on Earth. This silvery-grey metal is strong and corrosion-resistant and conducts electricity and heat. The melting point of vanadium is 1910 °C and its boiling point is 3407 °C.
Although vanadium is less common in everyday devices, it can sometimes be found even in simple household tools. Thanks to its strength and wear resistance, vanadium is used in small amounts in tool and high-speed steels, from which drilling, milling and cutting tools are made. Smaller amounts of this metal are also used in bicycles and surgical instruments.
Vanadium (chemical symbol V) is a very useful element for the energy industry. Because of its low neutron absorption, it is used in nuclear reactor components. Vanadium flow (redox) batteries have a long service life (10–20 years) and a non-flammable electrolyte, so they are increasingly used for stationary energy storage, for example at solar and wind power plants.
