Vanadium

Vanadium is frequently used in various applications in surface technology. Due to its specific properties such as high hardness, corrosion resistance and heat resistance, it is used in various coating processes.

For example, vanadium is used as an alloying element in certain steels that are used for tools or components in environments with high temperatures or aggressive conditions. In addition, vanadium oxide is often used as a pigment in paints and varnishes to create certain color shades or to improve pigment stability. In electroplating, vanadium can be used as a component of coatings on metal substrates to improve their corrosion resistance or to impart special properties such as hardness or gloss. In surface technology, vanadium plays an important role in the production of coatings and materials with improved mechanical, chemical and aesthetic properties.
