Niobium is a rare, heavy transition metal from the vanadium group. Thanks to its low hardness, it is easy to work with, for example, during 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 unstable in hot alkalis. Niobium powder is pyrophoric, and the metal itself is well-known for its biocompatibility.
At Evek GmbH, you will find niobium at a fair price. We value close communication with our customers and look forward to your inquiries.
Niobium is primarily used as an alloying element, enhancing the strength and toughness of stainless steel. Alloys with zirconium are used to coat nuclear fuel rods, while niobium-titanium alloys are essential in producing permanent magnets. Its biocompatibility also makes it ideal for jewelry and medical implants.
Common applications for niobium include:
- Alloying additive for steel and non-ferrous metals
- Jewelry manufacturing
- Coating for implants
- Bimetallic coins
- Catalyst in hydrochloric acid production
Main characteristics of niobium:
- Low hardness with high ductility
- Extremely high melting point
- Good machinability
- Resistance to most acids
- Insensitive to hot alkalis
- Excellent biocompatibility
