Electrolytic Vanadium and Its Properties

Abstract
The fused salt electrorefining technique has been applied successfully to anadium. The electrolyte was sodium chloride containing 3–6% vanadium as vanadium dichloride. Current efficiency was approximately 91%. Oxygen and nitrogen impurities were reduced by two thirds of the amount contained in the feed material. The hardness of the product was reduced from 97 Rockwell B to 35 RB. Arc melted ingots could be given a 99% cold reduction by rolling before edge cracking appeared.
