Vanadium is a soft,

ductile metal primarily

used in steel alloy’s, green technology

and specialty steels.

All crude steel

requires vanadium to

make it strong

enough for commercial

uses

Vanadium enriched

steel is used in a variety

of applications

in construction, infrastructur

e and transport.

Vanadium has pushed

engineering, construction and design to new heights and limits

Vanadium is a required additive in all steel tubing and pipelines

Vanadium is used in many products.

Vanadium in tools for strength, in surgical instruments for stain

resistant qualities and golf clubs as a titanium bonding

agent

Vanadium is a major component to vehicles,

providing the strength to construct transmissions, gears,

transaxles and vehicle chassis

Vanadium plays a major role in vehicle infrastructure

Bridges and roads rely on vanadium enriched

steel and rebar

Vanadium is very important to the construction of jet engines due to

it’s high tolerance to heat.

Due to a high

neutron cross

section, vanadium

is the safest

material for nuclear

power plant construction

Smart Glass protects against harmful UV rays

and lowers energy usage. Vanadium

is the chief ingredient in Smart Glass.

Vanadium battery technology provides faster recharging and longevity than current batteries on the market.

Vanadium batteries are changing green

energy as we know it.

Vanadium is a requirement in all military vehicles

Vanadium makes steel bulletproof and impenetrable

Vanadium is the key to space

travel and space

exploration

Vanadium is the only material that can withstand the extreme

heat of re-entry into our atmosphere

Vanadium is the only material on the planet that can

withstand the intense heat of re-entry into our atmosphere

In fact, all vehicles that leave earth’s atmosphere must be built with a high vanadium content

All vehicles leaving Earth’s atmosphere need vanadium in

order to survive in space

•China has halted all raw vanadium exports for global supply

•There have been limited vanadium sources developed over the past decade

•Vanadium prices have more than tripled over the past decade

•Vanadium usage has increased dramatically year to year for the past decade

Vanadium is the building block

civilization is being built on
