Niobium is a rare, soft, malleable, ductile, gray-white metal. It has a body-centered cubic crystalline structure and in its physical and chemical properties it resembles tantalum. It must be placed in a protective atmosphere when processed at even moderate temperatures because it tends to react with oxygen,carbon, the halogens, nitrogen, and sulfur. The metal is inert to acids, even to aqua regia at room temperatures, but is attacked by hot, concentrated acids, and expecially by alkalis and oxidizing agents.

Niobium is used for the production of high-temperature-resistant alloys and special stainless steel. Small amounts of niobium impart greater strenght to other metals, especially those that are exposed to low temperatures. Niobium carbide is used in cutting tools. It is used in stainless steel alloys for nuclear reactors, jets, missiles, cutting tools, pipelines, super magnets and welding rods.

Niobium: Gleaming in every color.
Niobium is special because this high level of resistance is achieved at a relatively low weight. We use this material to manufacture coin inserts of all colors, corrosion-resistant evaporation boats for use in coating technology, and dimensionally stable crucibles for diamond growth. Thanks to its high level of biocompatibility, niobium is also used as a material for implants. Thanks to its high transition temperature, niobium is the perfect material for superconducting cables and magnets.

Of coins and diamonds. Applications for niobium.

The applications for which our niobium is used are as diverse as the properties of the material itself. We briefly present two of these below: In actual fact, niobium, like all other metals, is gray. However, by applying a passifying oxide layer, we allow our metal to gleam in a beautiful array of colors. But niobium is not just pretty to look at. Like tantalum, it is resistant against many chemicals and can be easily formed even at low temperatures.

Guaranteed purity.                                                    

You can rely on our quality. We use only the purest niobium as our input material. This ensures that you benefit from a very high level of material purity.
