Niobium is a rare heavy metal that belongs to the transition metals and is in 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 in air and is not attacked by most acids at room temperature. Niobium is also unstable in hot alkalis. Niobium powder has pyrophoric properties. Niobium metal has good biocompatibility.

Niobium is mainly used as an alloy additive. Niobium increases the strength and toughness of stainless steel alloys. Alloys of niobium and zirconium are used to coat 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 in implants due to its biocompatibility.

Application of niobium

Niobium is widely used in various industrial sectors:

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

Properties of niobium

Niobium is characterized by the following properties:

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