Vanadium Nitride Powder Production Process

Using the reduction method. The chemically measured carbon and vanadium pentoxide are mixed thoroughly in a nitrogen atmosphere at 1250 ℃ for a reduction-nitridation reaction to produce vanadium nitride. Also can be produced by a nitrogen-hydrogen gas mixture with vanadium tetrachloride at 1400-1600 ℃ or ammonia (NH3) with ammonium metavanadate (NH4VO3) at 1000-1100°C for a reaction.

Vanadium Nitride Powder Applications

Vanadium Nitride Powder is always used in lithium-ion batteries, energy storage materials, catalysts, and other fields. 

• Vanadium-nitrogen alloys can be used in structural steel, tool steel, pipe steel, steel reinforcement, and cast iron. Vanadium-nitrogen alloys applied to high-strength low-alloy steel can simultaneously carry out effective vanadium, and nitrogen microalloying, promote the precipitation of carbon, vanadium, and nitrogen compounds in steel, effective sink strengthening, and grain refinement role. 
• Nano vanadium nitride (VN) has very high thermal and chemical stability and strong mechanical properties, and is widely used in cutting tools, abrasives, and structural materials; it is also a good catalyst with high catalytic activity, high selectivity, good stability, and toxic properties. The fine particle size of VN can effectively increase the catalytic activity and improve the toughness of structural materials.

Vanadium Nitride Powder Storage and Packing

Vanadium Nitride Powder product is packed in inert gas-filled plastic bags. We can provide subpackage with different quantities according to the customer's requirements. Vanadium Nitride Powder product is sealed and stored in a dry, cool environment, not exposed to air, to prevent oxidation agglomeration by moisture, affecting the dispersion performance and use effect.
