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 is not attacked by most acids at room temperature. Niobium is also not very stable 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 of stainless steel alloys. Alloys of niobium and zirconium are used to clad fuel rod cladding. Niobium-titanium alloys are used for the production of permanent magnets. Niobium metal is also used to manufacture jewelry items and, due to its biocompatibility, for implants.

Application of niobium

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

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

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.
