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 can be processed well, e.g. forged. The metal has a very high melting temperature, high ductility at room temperature, and can easily absorb gases. In air, it is very resistant and, at room temperature, is not attacked by most acids. Niobium is also unstable in hot alkalis. Niobium powder has pyrophoric properties. Niobium metal has good biocompatibility.

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

Niobium has a wide range of applications in various industrial fields:

• as an alloying additive for steel and non-ferrous alloys;
• for the production of jewelry items;
• 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.
