Niobium and alloyed niobium have a high melting point, corrosion resistance, good cold processing properties and other superb features. It has been more and more widely used in chemical, electronic, electric light source, aerospace and other areas.
Like tantalum, niobium can be also used in making vacuum furnaces’ attachments and supports of high temperature in technical ways. Niobium of high purity, NbTi, Nb3Sn and so on. Alloyed niobium is also a good superconductor. The surface of metals will show different colors due to different amount of oxygen. So, niobium is also applied to jewelry manufacturing industry.
