Niobium is a rare, heavy transition metal found in the vanadium group. Its low hardness makes it easy to work with, for example in forging. Niobium features a very high melting point, excellent ductility at room temperature, and easily absorbs gases. It is highly resistant to air exposure and most acids at room temperature, but unstable in hot alkalis. In powder form, niobium can be pyrophoric. The metal also offers outstanding biocompatibility.
At Evek GmbH, you can purchase niobium at a fair price. We maintain close communication with our customers and look forward to your inquiries.
Niobium is primarily used as an alloying element. It enhances the strength and toughness of stainless steel alloys. Niobium-zirconium alloys are used to coat nuclear fuel rods, while niobium-titanium alloys are essential in manufacturing permanent magnets. Thanks to its biocompatibility, niobium is also used in jewelry and medical implants.
Main application areas for niobium include:
- Alloying element for steel and non-ferrous alloys
- Jewelry production
- Coating surfaces of implants
- Bimetallic coins
- Catalyst in hydrochloric acid production
Key properties of niobium:
- Low hardness and high ductility
