Niobium is a rare heavy transition metal from the vanadium group. It is notable for its low hardness, making it easy to process and forge. The metal boasts a high melting point, excellent ductility at room temperature, and readily absorbs gases. Niobium is highly resistant to air and most acids at room temperature, but is unstable in hot alkalis. In powdered form, niobium is pyrophoric. It also exhibits outstanding biocompatibility.
Niobium is available at a fair price in the Evek GmbH online shop. We value close communication with our customers and welcome your inquiries.
Primarily, niobium is used as an alloying element to enhance the strength and toughness of stainless steel. Niobium-zirconium alloys are utilized for coating nuclear fuel rods, while niobium-titanium alloys are essential in making permanent magnets. Thanks to its biocompatibility, niobium is also popular in jewelry and medical implants.
Typical applications for niobium include:
- Alloying agent in steel and non-ferrous alloys
- Jewelry manufacturing
- Coating for medical implants
- Production of bimetallic coins
- Catalyst in hydrochloric acid production
Key properties of niobium are:
- Low hardness paired with high ductility
- Exceptional melting temperature
- Good machinability
- High resistance to most acids
- Stability in hot alkalis
- Excellent biocompatibility
