Niobium is a light gray, 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 essential metals at affordable prices.

Niobium is very similar to tantalum and has similar properties. It has excellent chemical resistance and high heat resistance, as well as a high melting and boiling point. It also possesses good cold formability.

Due to its good cold ductility, niobium can be excellently formed without cutting, but the formation of flow chips makes machining more difficult. Its metallic properties make niobium well-suited for welding and soldering.

Niobium is often used as an alloying metal for steel to improve the heat resistance, wear resistance, and weldability of the steel alloy. A special property is its superconductivity, which is used in nuclear and reactor technology. For this purpose, niobium is alloyed with tin, aluminum, and zirconium. At high temperatures, this alloy loses its electrical resistance and enables loss-free transmission of electrical energy.
