Description
Vanadium Nitride (VN) Nanopowder – APS: 40 nm, Purity: 99.9%
Product Overview
Vanadium Nitride (VN) Nanopowder is a high-performance material known for its superior mechanical strength, thermal stability, and excellent dispersion characteristics in alloy matrices. Produced via high-frequency plasma gas phase synthesis, this nano-grade material exhibits high purity and uniform particle distribution. VN acts as a powerful alloy additive, particularly in the steel and cemented carbide industries, where it significantly enhances strength, toughness, and grain refinement while reducing the required amount of vanadium by up to 40%, offering major cost savings.

Applications
Vanadium Nitride Nanopowder is widely used in:
-
Microalloyed steels: Improves tensile strength, ductility, toughness, thermal fatigue resistance, and weldability.
-
Cemented carbides: Enhances hardness and wear resistance through alloy dispersion strengthening.
-
High-strength low-alloy steel (HSLA): Simultaneous vanadium and nitrogen microalloying promotes precipitation hardening and grain refinement.
-
Cutting tools and abrasives: Delivers excellent mechanical durability and thermal resistance.
-
Catalysis: Acts as a highly active, selective, and stable catalyst with strong anti-poisoning performance—ideal for chemical reactions and industrial processing.
