Vanadium Master Alloy Pellets
Vanadium master alloy in pellet form, typically 40-80% vanadium with nickel or aluminum balance, used for precise addition in high-strength steel and superalloys. The pellets are classified under this tariff item as 'other' vanadium products, as vanadium predominates by weight.
