Niobium Alloy & Metal Supplier

E uiga i le Niobium mama mama (Nb) ma Niobium Alloys

Niobium, ua lauiloa foi o Columbium, ose u'amea fa'aefuefu iila po'o le siliva ductile u'amea e le pisia pe fa'ama'i i le vevela o le potu. E na'o le fa'avevela e tali atu ai le Niobium ma le okesene ma halogens. Niobium e laʻititi pala-tetee nai lo tantalum i le maualuga vevela. Niobium e le osofaʻia e nitric acid e oʻo i le 100 ° C, ae osofaʻia malosi e le faʻafefiloi o nitric ma hydrofluoric acids. Vevela, faʻamalosi hydrochloric, sulfuric, ma osofaʻia ai le phosphoric acid, ae vevela, leai. o le nitric acid e leai.

Niobium e le afaina ile potu vevela ile tele o acid. E osofaia e alkaline fofo i sina vaega i uma vevela. Ona o lona maualalo puʻeina koluse vaega mo neutrons vevela, Niobium o loʻo iai le tusi talosaga i le vaega faaniukilia. Niobium mafai ona faʻavevela eletise ma anodized i le tele o ituaiga lanu ia e sili ona matagofie i le teuteu pisinisi. E fa'aopoopoina le Niobium i le u'amea po'o le nickel e maua mai ai fa'amau i le va'alele, falema'i ma mea tau eletise.

What are the primary uses of Niobium?

Talosaga: used in aerospace applications (i.e. rocket boosters), sodium vapor lamps, and superconductors. Niobium is used in the manufacture of synthetic diamonds; in sputtering targets for fiber optic applications or architectural glass; in nickel based superalloys; and alloyed with titanium or tin, in superconductors. In nuclear reactors it has low thermal neutron cross section and superior corrosion resistance, It is an excellent getter and finds use in high temperature vacuum furnaces, and is resistant to attack by the molten alkali metals found in sodium vapor lamps.

How does Niobium benefit steel production?

At atmospheric pressure, it has the highest critical temperature of the elemental superconductors. Niobium has the largest magnetic penetration depth of any element. High-energy physics researchers use some electron accelerators that include chambers cast from pure or alloyed niobium.

What medical applications does Niobium have?

Niobium is used as an alloying agent and for jewelry. Other uses include adding small amounts to improve stainless steel, as an alloying agent in carbon and alloy steels and in non-ferrous metals to improve strength. It is key element in manufacturing jet engines and rockets.

Is Niobium a refractory metal?

ioe, Niobium is malleable, weldable, machinable and formable.

What superconductor applications is Niobium well suited for?

When chilled to near absolute zero, these niobium chambers become both highly magnetic and superconducting, which permits researchers to increase the speed of subatomic particles without using increasing amounts of electricity.
