Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Vanadium is useful deoxidizing and alloying addition to copper and nickel; small additions (up to 0.4% in copper and up to 1% in nickel) improve the mechanical properties of the alloys while reducing the effect of temperature on static tensile strength.

  2. 2.

    Addition of vanadium to copper eleminates the brittle range at 500°C.
