Niobium is a light grey, shiny metal with good cold formability and high heat resistance. It is often used as an alloying element. In our online shop Auremo you will find the most important metals at favourable prices.
Niobium is very similar to tantalum and has similar properties. It has excellent chemical resistance and high heat resistance. Niobium has a high melting and boiling point. It has good cold formability.
Due to its good cold ductility, niobium can be easily formed without cutting, but is difficult to machine due to the formation of flow chips. Due to its metallic properties, niobium is easy to weld and solder.
Niobium is used as an alloying metal for steel. It improves the heat resistance, wear resistance and weldability of the steel alloy. Another good property is its superconductivity, which is used in nuclear and reactor technology. Niobium is alloyed with tin, aluminium and zirconium for this purpose. At high temperatures, this alloy loses its electrical resistance and electrical energy is transferred without loss.
Properties of niobium:
- good chemical resistance
- Very high melting point
- Resistant to air
- good forging and rolling properties
Main application of niobium:
- Alloy metal for steels
- Aircraft and rocket engines
- High-voltage pylons
- pipes
