Its low hardness makes it easy to work with, such as in forging. Niobium features a very high melting point, excellent ductility at room temperature, and readily absorbs gases. It is highly resistant to air exposure and most acids at room temperature, but it is unstable in hot alkalis. Niobium powder is pyrophoric, and the metal is known for its good biocompatibility.You will find fair pricing for niobium in the Evek GmbH online store. We value close contact with our customers and welcome your inquiries.Niobium is primarily used as an alloying element, significantly improving the strength and toughness of stainless steels. Alloys of niobium and zirconium are important for coating nuclear fuel rods, while niobium-titanium alloys are used in the production of permanent magnets. Due to its biocompatibility, niobium is also used in jewelry and medical implants.Main applications of niobium include:- Alloying additive for steel and non-ferrous metals - Jewelry manufacturing - Surface coating for medical implants - Bimetallic coins - Catalyst in hydrochloric acid productionKey properties of niobium:- Low hardness and high ductility - Very high melting temperature - Good machinability - Resistant to most acids - Insensitive to hot alkalis - Excellent biocompatibilityPurchase niobium from Evek GmbH, your reliable supplier.
