Niobium is a rare heavy metal from the transition metals group, closely related to vanadium. It is soft and easy to work with, such as in forging, due to its low hardness. Niobium features a very high melting point, excellent ductility at room temperature, and readily absorbs gases. It is highly resistant to air and most acids at room temperature, but unstable in hot alkalis. Niobium powder is pyrophoric, and the metal itself offers excellent biocompatibility.
At Evek GmbH, you’ll find niobium at a competitive price. We maintain close relationships with our customers and welcome your inquiries.
Niobium is primarily used as an alloying element, enhancing the strength and toughness of stainless steels. Alloys with zirconium are used in nuclear fuel rod cladding, while niobium-titanium alloys are important for making permanent magnets. Thanks to its biocompatibility, niobium is also utilized in jewelry and medical implants.
Main industrial applications for niobium include:
- Alloying agent for steel and non-ferrous metals
- Jewelry manufacturing
- Surface coating for medical implants
- Production of bimetallic coins
- Catalyst in hydrochloric acid production
Key properties of niobium:
- Low hardness with high ductility
- Extremely high melting point
- Good machinability
- Excellent resistance to most acids
- Stable against hot alkalis
- Outstanding biocompatibility
