Niobium is a rare, heavy transition metal from the vanadium group. It features low hardness, making it easy to process and forge. Niobium has a very high melting point, excellent ductility at room temperature, and readily absorbs gases. It is highly resistant to oxidation in air and remains stable against most acids at room temperature, though it is unstable in hot alkalis. Niobium powder is pyrophoric, and the metal itself is known for good biocompatibility.
At Evek GmbH, you will find niobium at a fair price. We maintain close communication with our customers and welcome your inquiries.
Niobium is primarily used as an alloying element, enhancing the strength and toughness of stainless steels. Alloys of niobium with zirconium are used in nuclear fuel rod coatings, while niobium-titanium alloys are vital for manufacturing permanent magnets. Thanks to its biocompatibility, niobium is also used in jewelry and medical implants.
Main applications of 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
- Resistance to most acids
- Stability against hot alkalis
- Excellent biocompatibility
