Please refer to our FAQ.Niobium is a rare heavy metal from the transition metals group, closely related to vanadium. It has low hardness, making it easy to process, such as by forging. Niobium features a very high melting point, excellent ductility at room temperature, and readily absorbs gases. It is highly resistant to corrosion in air and is not affected by most acids at room temperature, though it is unstable in hot alkalis. In powder form, niobium can be pyrophoric. The metal is also notable for its good biocompatibility.You’ll find fair prices for niobium in the Evek GmbH online shop. We value our customer relationships and welcome your inquiry.Niobium is mainly used as an alloying element to enhance the strength and toughness of stainless steels. Alloys of niobium and zirconium are used to coat nuclear fuel rods, while niobium-titanium alloys are important for the manufacture of permanent magnets. Due to its biocompatibility, niobium is also used in jewelry and medical implants.Key applications of niobium include: - Alloying element for steel and non-ferrous metals - Jewelry manufacturing - Surface coating for implants - Bimetallic coin production - Catalyst in hydrochloric acid productionMain properties of niobium: - Low hardness and high ductility - Very high melting point - Good machinability - Resistant to most acids - Not sensitive to hot alkalis - Excellent biocompatibilityEvek GmbH is a trusted supplier of niobium.
