Rationale

While vanadium is typically used as an alloying element in various Ti, high strength steels, and custom alloys of other elements, e.g., Al, but there are currently no ASTM standards for either ‘pure’ V (reactor grade, commercial grade), or certain V-alloys that have been specified for unique applications, e.g., V-4Cr-4Ti, which is a reference alloy for the ITER fusion reactor. There are potentially other alloys, which I found (see attached). There is a need to have a standard and consistent composition and properties as with any other element or alloy. The VW alloys may be intermediate products for adding to Ti for Ti-alloys.
