Niobium is a rare heavy metal from the transition metals family, specifically in the vanadium group. Thanks to its low hardness, it’s easy to process, such as by 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, and the metal is known for its good biocompatibility.

Niobium is primarily used as an alloying element. It enhances the strength and toughness of stainless steels. Alloys of niobium and zirconium are used to clad nuclear fuel rods, while niobium-titanium alloys are essential for making permanent magnets. Due to its biocompatibility, niobium is also popular in jewelry and medical implants.
Main applications of niobium include:
- Alloying additive for steel and non-ferrous metals
- Jewelry manufacturing
- Surface coating for implants
- Bimetallic coins
- Catalyst in hydrochloric acid production
Key properties of niobium:
- Low hardness and high ductility
- Very high melting point
- Good machinability
- Resistant to most acids
- Insensitive to hot alkalis
