Niobium is a rare heavy metal from the vanadium group of transition metals. Its low hardness makes it easy to work with, such as for forging. 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. Due to its good biocompatibility, niobium is suitable for medical and industrial applications.
At Evek GmbH, you can purchase niobium at a fair price. We maintain close contact with our customers and are always happy to assist with your inquiries.
Niobium is primarily used as an alloying element, enhancing the strength and toughness of stainless steels. Niobium-zirconium alloys are utilized to coat nuclear fuel rods, while niobium-titanium alloys are important in permanent magnet production. Thanks to its biocompatibility, niobium is also used in jewelry and medical implants.
Main industrial applications for niobium include:
- Alloying steel and non-ferrous metals
- Jewelry manufacturing
- Coating implant surfaces
- Bimetallic coin production
- As a catalyst in hydrochloric acid production
Key properties of niobium:
- Low hardness and high ductility
- Very high melting point
- Good machinability
- Resistant to most acids
- Unreactive to hot alkalis
- Excellent biocompatibility
