Electricla Thermoelectric Hardness, and Corrosion Properties of Vanadium-Base Alloys
- Nuclear Metals, Inc., Cambridge, MA (United States)
Attempts have "been made to find properties of vanadium metal that make it suitable for industrial use and thereby increase the market for vanadium which is now a by-product of uranium mining. Additions of 1 a/o Pd and other elements give vanadium some unique properties in the superconducting range that may lead to use of vanadium in the cryotron, a new type electronic amplifier. A vanadium alloy containing 25 a/o A1 possesses high electrical resistivity (243 microhm-cm) at room temperature; however, this alloy has little ductility. Studies of the thermoelectric power and corrosion resistance of a number of vanadium-rich alloys containing one atomic percent of a variety of elements revealed no striking or useful properties.
