Vanadium is a peculiar metal in that it naturally exists in no less than four different charge states, which makes it ideal as a battery metal. It''s main use however is in steel – adding just one kilogram of vanadium to a tonne of steel doubles the strength of the steel. Vanadium steel accounts for well over 90% of vanadium demand.
