Niobium is a rare heavy metal that belongs to the transition metals and is part of the vanadium group. Due to its low hardness, it is easy to process, e.g., forging. The metal has a very high melting temperature, high ductility at room temperature, and can easily absorb gases. It is very resistant to air and is not attacked by most acids at room temperature. Niobium is also unstable in hot alkalis. Niobium powder exhibits pyrophoric properties. Niobium metal has good biocompatibility.

Niobium is mainly used as an alloying addition. In stainless steel alloys, niobium increases strength and toughness. Alloys of niobium and zirconium are used to encase nuclear fuel rods. Niobium-titanium alloys are used for the production of permanent magnets. Niobium metal is also used in the manufacture of jewelry and for implants due to its biocompatibility.

Niobium finds wide application in different industrial sectors:

• as an alloying addition for steel and non-ferrous alloys;
• for the manufacture of jewelry;
• for coating surfaces in implants;
• in bimetal coins;
• as a catalyst in hydrochloric acid production.

Niobium is characterized by the following properties:

• low hardness and high ductility;
• very high melting temperature;
• good processing properties;
• resistance to most acids;
• insensitivity to hot alkalis;
• good biocompatibility.
