High Purity Vanadium Tubes

Vanadium tubes represent a specialized form of this remarkable transition metal, combining vanadium's inherent properties with the structural advantages of tubular geometry—creating a material solution for the most demanding industrial environments.

What Makes Vanadium Tubes Unique?
Vanadium's atomic structure (atomic number 23, symbol V) gives it unique material properties that translate exceptionally well to tubular applications:
Exceptional Temperature Stability: Maintains strength at temperatures exceeding 1,900°C (3,450°F)
Superior Corrosion Resistance: Resists attack from acids, alkalis, and aggressive chemical environments
Low Neutron Absorption: Ideal for nuclear applications with minimal radiation interaction
Excellent Strength-to-Weight Ratio: High tensile strength with relatively low density (6.11 g/cm3)
Oxidation Resistance: Forms a protective oxide layer at elevated temperatures

From Ore to Precision Vanadium Tubes

Ore Extraction
Vanadium is extracted from ores including patronite and vanadinite.
Purification
Vanadium compounds are processed to achieve high purity metal.
Melting & Casting
Pure vanadium is melted and cast into billets for tube production.
Extrusion
Billets are heated and extruded into seamless tube blanks.
Drawing
Tube blanks are drawn to precise dimensions and wall thickness.
Finishing & Testing
Tubes undergo final processing, inspection, and certification.

Purity Levels & Grades

Surface Finishes

As-Drawn

Matte surface finish with typical roughness (Ra) of 1.6-3.2 μm, suitable for most industrial applications.

Mechanical Polished

Smooth surface with Ra 0.4-0.8 μm for improved flow characteristics and reduced corrosion.

Electropolished

Ultra-smooth surface with Ra <0.05 μm for critical applications requiring minimal friction and maximum corrosion resistance.

Manufacturing Process of Vanadium Tube

Our specialized manufacturing process ensures the highest quality vanadium tubes with precise dimensions and exceptional purity.

1. High Purity Vanadium Production

Vanadium metal of specified purity is produced using advanced reduction processes, ensuring minimal impurities and consistent quality.

2. Billet Preparation

Pure vanadium is melted and cast into billets of specific dimensions, which are then homogenized and surface-prepared for extrusion.

3. Hot Forging

Billets are heated to controlled temperatures and extruded through dies to form tube blanks with approximate final dimensions.

4. Cold Drawing

Tube blanks undergo multiple cold drawing passes with intermediate annealing to achieve precise final dimensions and mechanical properties.

5. Heat Treatment

Tubes are annealed in controlled atmosphere furnaces to relieve stresses and achieve the desired mechanical properties.

6. Finishing & Quality Control

Tubes undergo surface finishing (as specified), precision cutting, and rigorous quality control testing before final packaging.

Quality Control & Testing of Vanadium Tube

Chemical Analysis

Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry (GDMS) and OES verify purity levels and chemical composition.

Dimensional Inspection

Laser scanning and precision metrology ensure dimensional accuracy and tolerance control.

Nondestructive Testing

Ultrasonic and eddy current testing detect internal and surface defects without damaging the material.

Mechanical Testing

Tensile testing, hardness measurement, and impact testing verify mechanical properties.
