Niobium is a rare, heavy transition metal from the vanadium group. Thanks to its low hardness, it is easy to machine and forge. Niobium features a very high melting point, excellent ductility at room temperature, and a strong ability to absorb gases. It remains stable in air and resists most acids at room temperature, but is reactive in hot alkalis. Niobium powder is pyrophoric, and the metal itself is known for its good biocompatibility.
You’ll find a fair price for niobium in the Evek GmbH online shop. We value close communication with our customers and welcome your inquiries.
Niobium is predominantly used as an alloying element, enhancing the strength and toughness of stainless steels. Alloys with zirconium are used for nuclear fuel rod cladding, while niobium-titanium alloys are essential in manufacturing permanent magnets. Due to its biocompatibility, niobium is also used in jewelry and medical implants.
Main applications of niobium include:
- Alloying steel and non-ferrous metals
- Jewelry making
- Coating implant surfaces
- Bimetallic coin production
- As a catalyst in hydrochloric acid manufacturing
Key characteristics of niobium:
- Low hardness, high ductility
- Very high melting point
- Good workability
- Resistance to most acids
- Stable against hot alkalis
- Excellent biocompatibility
