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. In the air, it is very resistant 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 for cladding nuclear fuel rods. Niobium-titanium alloys are used for manufacturing permanent magnets. Niobium metal is also used for jewelry manufacturing and due to its biocompatibility in implants.

Application of Niobium

Niobium finds broad application in various industrial fields:

• 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.
