Let's try analyzing vibranium a bit.
I believe Black Panther's original suit is vibranium woven into fabric (with the later version being far more advanced, being composed of vibranium nanites, though the extent of its durability seems unclear) and Vision's body is a mix of synthetic organic tissue and vibranium. Neither are solid vibranium like Captain America's shield.
Ultron's final form, which is vibranium plated, had most of his armor melted away after a combined attack from Thor, Vision, and Mark 45 Iron Man, though Ultron might not have had much vibranium to use for his final form's armor, considering he was originally planning to use Vision's body for his final form, and would have then had to put together a new final form with whatever he didn't need for his device in Sokovia.
Said device was overloaded by Iron Man and Thor, though the central vibranium core still looked to be intact when Iron Man dodged it when the debris of Sokovia was falling, so it seemed to just be the entire landmass surrounding the vibranium core that was obliterated by the overload, not the core itself.
Fun fact: in this article, the production designer for the Black Panther movie points out how the usual depiction of vibranium (such as in Captain America's shield) is the material in its final processed form: "So we do have over here our Wakandan design group, which has over time evolved into where all the tech is being created. [And] we've got our vibranium mine, which is – we've come up with this sort of blue, kind of glowing rock. We went around a lot about like, what is vibranium, because we see it in Cap's shield and it's very much a metal, so we have different stages of vibranium. We're going to see it a lot in its raw form, not the alloyed form which is sort of the stainless look."
So to sum it up, I suspect that composition and thickness should be taken into account with vibranium, and that scaling with it should probably be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
