| Vanadium is one of the hardest of all metals, and thus quite valuable. Because of its hardness and great tensile strength, vanadium metal is used in many alloys. Titanium-vanadium alloys are used for missile cases, gravity drive housings, and nuclear-reactor components. As a catalyst, vanadium has largely replaced platinum in the manufacture of plasma gun barreling. |
