Vanadium is a hard, silvery-grey, ductile and malleable transition metal. It occurs in nature exclusively in a chemically bound form. When isolated artificially, an oxide layer forms that stabilises the metal against further oxidation.
Symbol: V
Atomic Number: 23
Atomic Mass: 50.9415
Element Category: Transition Metal
Vanadium is a transition metal with a silvery-grey appearance. It is ductile and malleable. In natural environments, vanadium occurs only in chemically combined forms. When artificially isolated, an oxide layer forms, which slows further oxidation.
Approximately 80% of produced vanadium is used as a steel additive. Vanadium is compatible with iron and titanium; consequently, a thin vanadium coating is employed to bond titanium with steel. Vanadium alloys are used in nuclear reactors because the metal exhibits low neutron absorption.
The oxide and certain other vanadium salts are moderately toxic. It is likely that vanadium acts as a trace nutrient for mammals, including humans.
