A full service solution for vanadium consumers

Our goal is to provide customers with superior service - from presale to aftersale. Largo is a full service solution for vanadium consumers, supplying high-quality product directly from the mine to end users.

Applications

Steel

Steelmakers use vanadium to produce high-strength steels needed for infrastructure, tools, automotive components, and various other ferrous-based products.

This high-quality product is the universal strengthener and hardener for high-strength steels. Adding one pound of vanadium to a tonne of steel increases its tensile strength by approximately 40% or more. Using vanadium in steel also reduces the environmental impact along the steel production chain.

Rebar for construction

New standards, such as China’s updated high-strength rebar standard, have been designed to limit the use of inferior steels in construction. Adding vanadium to steel rebar allows producers to meet and exceed the standard’s recommendations.

Transport

Given its combination of high-strength, toughness, and weldability, vanadium-bearing steel is often the preferred option for infrastructure and automotive equipment components.

Master alloys

Producers of titanium alloys are one the largest consumers of vanadium outside of the steel industry.

Vanadium-bearing titanium alloys have very high strength-to-weight ratios and are used in the aerospace industry in the form of vanadium-aluminum master alloys.

The titanium alloy industry requires high purity vanadium and deploys strict documented procedures to assure the process eliminates the possibility of contamination with high-density materials.

The global master alloy market is growing substantially within the aerospace industry as it provides fuel efficiency and superior resistance.

VPURE™+ is approved by all master alloy producers around the globe.

Chemicals and catalysts

Vanadium has a wide range of chemical and catalyst applications.

Vanadium provides corrosion resistance and pigmentation properties needed in corrosion inhibitors and dyes.

Chemicals in vanadium can also be used in medication and production of supplements to manage a number of health conditions.

VPURE™+ Powder is ideal for sulfuric acid catalyst producers.

Vanadium flow batteries

Vanadium flow batteries are scalable energy storage batteries that use a vanadium electrolyte liquid solution to store and release large amounts of energy. The vanadium flow battery stands out as the leading battery for large-scale energy storage.

  • Have an estimated lifespan of 20+ years
  • Offers scalable storage capacity and is able to immediately release energy
  • Is suitable for grid connection or off-grid settings, making it ideal for renewable energy
  • Is able to discharge 100% without any damage to the battery
  • Provides users with a guaranteed uninterrupted power supply
