Vanadium is a transition metal with an atomic number of 23. It has a melting point of 3434°F and boiling point of 6116°F. A small amount of vanadium is added to steel to make it stronger for uses in surgical instruments, bicycle frames, and other applications. Vanadium oxide is used in fake jewelry and vanadium dioxide can be used to block infrared radiation in glass coatings. Vanadium was discovered by Andrés del Rio and Nils Gabriel Sefstrom and named after the Scandinavian goddess Vanadis.
