Niobium

About Niobium (Nb)

Symbol: Nb
Atomic number: 41
Atomic weight: 92.90637
Melting point: 2468℃
Element category: transition metal

Niobium, formerly columbium, is gray like other metals and takes on a bluish tinge when exposed to air at room temperature for a long time. It resembles the element tantalum and performs resistance against many chemicals. Niobium has a high ductility at room temperature.

Niobium Product Applications

Niobium is used mostly as an alloying agent to produce high-temperature-resistant alloys or special steel. Superalloys containing niobium are widely used winning various superconducting materials. A high level of biocompatibility makes niobium good use in surgery.
Niobium reacts with most nonmetals at high temperatures and forms different niobium compounds such as oxides, sulfides, halides, nitrides, and carbides.

Niobium Product Features

Unveiling Enduring Flexibility

Niobium's allure extends beyond appearances, encompassing its extraordinary ductility that remains steadfast even under standard room conditions. This innate pliability paves the way for its versatility, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into an array of applications.

A Fusion of Strength and Elegance

Beyond its visual shifts, Niobium harmonizes strength and elegance, enduring the test of time and external forces. Its resilience in the face of diverse environments and challenges highlights its inherent robustness and adaptability.

Niobium, both a bridge between tradition and innovation and an embodiment of transformation, stands ready to redefine the boundaries of possibility. Its kinship with tantalum and unique attributes position Niobium as a metal of boundless potential, poised to shape a world of endless opportunities.
