Machining:
High speed steel and carbide tools may be used to machine vanadium. Speed as well as tool angles and lubrication should be monitored to avoid galling.
Turning:
See general instructions for turning vanadium given in table 1. These instructions are recommended
as a starting point for working with vanadium. Adjustments to these procedures should be made to accommodate the different compositions of each vanadium alloy.
成形
Vanadium has excellent cold working properties and can be forged, rolled or swaged at room temperature. Annealing is necessary after 80 自 85% reduction of the cross sectional area. Vacuum annealing (<1 x 10-4 TORR) at 900° C for 1-1/2 hours will cause complete recrystallization of cold worked material. Vanadium is well suited to deep drawing and exhibits little springback.
鎳鎳唔可以好似其他反應性同耐火金屬噉重新陽極化. Tantalum 係電容最好嘅陽極膜，但係钒會形成 (雖然係低溫下形成保護氧化物) 唔會係正常陽極化技術嘅反應. 钒原理氧化物係 V205, 係 675 ° C 融化，係腐蝕性. 鎳同埋佢嘅合金必須喺氧化氣嘅熔點下面炮製，或者如果用較高嘅溫度，就要保護免受氧化大氣.
焊接:
好似一樣 鎳鎳供應商, 我哋知道佢同氣體氮好反應, 氧氣同氫氣, 因此, 必須採取預防措施，以保護任何焊接免受呢啲氣體. 當預防措施淹沒焊接所有表面時 , TIG 和等級焊接效果良好 (前 & 返回) 有惰性氣體 (氩, 氦氣).
鎳可以焊接大部分過渡金屬同佢哋嘅合金. 用鈦焊接, 鋯, tantalum 同鈦同埋奧氏體同鐵氧體唔鏽鏽都係成功嘅. 如果焊接時係焊接入焊接，就有可能焊接到其他鋼.
