Cut the excess foam (or wood) from the surfboard blank using the jigsaw. Be sure to leave 1 to 1 1/2 inches (2.54 to 3.81 cm) excess from the surfboard template trace; this will give you room to shape without catastrophic error. 1  Saw with extreme caution, especially when cutting around the stringer on the nose.
In chemistry, a vanadate is a compound containing an oxoanion of vanadium generally in its highest oxidation state of +5. 4 anion, which is present in e.g. sodium orthovanadate and in solutions of V2O5 in strong base (pH > 13 ).
Vanadium was rediscovered in 1830 by Nils Gabriel Sefstrom. He named it in honor of the Scandinavian goddess Vanadis because of the elementâs beautifully multicolored compounds. Properties of vanadium. Vanadium is a transition metal in Group 5 on the periodic table of the elements.In its pure form, vanadium is a bright white metal. It is soft, ductile and structurally strong.t is an important carbide stabilizer. About 80 percent of the vanadium now produced is used as ferrovanadium or as a steel additive. Vanadium foil is used as a bonding agent when cladding titanium to steel. Vanadium pentoxide is used in ceramics and as a catalyst.
