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
Our high purity vanadium tubes are manufactured to precise specifications, with custom dimensions available to meet your exact requirements.
Standard Dimensions | |||
Outside Diameter | Wall Thickness | Length Range | Tolerance |

10 - 50 mm | 0.5 - 5 mm | Up to 6,000 mm | ±0.05 mm |
50 - 100 mm | 2 - 10 mm | Up to 6,000 mm | ±0.10 mm |
100 - 200 mm | 5 - 20 mm | Up to 4,000 mm | ±0.15 mm |
Custom sizes beyond these ranges are available upon request. We can manufacture vanadium tubes with specific dimensions to meet your application requirements.
High purity grade suitable for most industrial applications requiring excellent mechanical properties and consistent performance.
Matte surface finish with typical roughness (Ra) of 1.6-3.2 μm, suitable for most industrial applications.
Smooth surface with Ra 0.4-0.8 μm for improved flow characteristics and reduced corrosion.
Ultra-smooth surface with Ra <0.05 μm for critical applications requiring minimal friction and maximum corrosion resistance.
Our specialized manufacturing process ensures the highest quality vanadium tubes with precise dimensions and exceptional purity.
Vanadium metal of specified purity is produced using advanced reduction processes, ensuring minimal impurities and consistent quality.
Pure vanadium is melted and cast into billets of specific dimensions, which are then homogenized and surface-prepared for extrusion.
Billets are heated to controlled temperatures and extruded through dies to form tube blanks with approximate final dimensions.
Tube blanks undergo multiple cold drawing passes with intermediate annealing to achieve precise final dimensions and mechanical properties.
Tubes are annealed in controlled atmosphere furnaces to relieve stresses and achieve the desired mechanical properties.
Tubes undergo surface finishing (as specified), precision cutting, and rigorous quality control testing before final packaging.
Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry (GDMS) and OES verify purity levels and chemical composition.
Laser scanning and precision metrology ensure dimensional accuracy and tolerance control.
Ultrasonic and eddy current testing detect internal and surface defects without damaging the material.
Tensile testing, hardness measurement, and impact testing verify mechanical properties.
