2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Erbium metal is used as alloyed with Vanadium to make it softer.

Recent studies shows that it is helpful for metabolism.

Vanadium is a highly reactive metal, hence it is not found free in nature.
Vanadium can be found in almost 65 different types of minerals.

3 Uses

3.1 Uses & Benefits

It has a tendency to get tarnished in the open air, but when alloyed with elements like erbium, vanadium, its hardness levels decreases.
Its compounds like Erbium oxide is used in safety glasses of welders and metal workers.

Its ally with steel is used very tough and hence it is used in armor plates, axles, piston rods, tools and crankshafts.
Its oxide is used as pigments for glass and ceramics.
