Niobium is a rare heavy metal that belongs to the transition metals and is in the vanadium group. Due to its low hardness, it is easy to process, e.g. forging. The metal has a very high melting point, high ductility at room temperature and can easily absorb gases. It is very stable in air and is not attacked by most acids at room temperature. Niobium is also unstable in hot alkalis. Niobium powder has pyrophoric properties. Niobium metal has good biocompatibility.

Niobium is reasonably priced in the Evek Ltd online shop. We are in close contact with our customers and look forward to receiving your enquiry.

Niobium is mainly used as an alloying additive. For example, niobium increases the strength and toughness of stainless steel alloys. Alloys of niobium and zirconium are used to coat nuclear fuel rods. Niobium-titanium alloys are used in the manufacture of permanent magnets. Niobium metal is also used in the manufacture of jewellery and, due to its biocompatibility, in implants.

Niobium is widely used in various industrial areas:

• as an alloying additive for steel and non-ferrous alloys;
• in the manufacture of jewellery;
• for coating the surfaces of implants;
• in bimetallic coins;
• as a catalyst in hydrochloric acid production.

Niobium is characterised by the following properties:

• low hardness and high ductility;
• very high melting point;
• good machinability;
• resistance to most acids;
• insensitivity to hot alkalis;
• Good biocompatibility.
