Niobium metal pellets are silver-gray, chemically stable metal particles with a wide range of excellent properties, which have important applications in electronics, steel, aerospace and many other fields.
Characteristics
Color: usually silver-gray
Melting point: approx. 2468°C
Boiling point: approx. 4742°C
Density: approx. 8.57g/cm³ at 25°C
Chemical stability: good chemical stability in air at room temperature, not easily corroded by air, water and most acids, but can react with oxygen, sulfur, halogens, etc. at high temperature.
Oxidizability: strong antioxidant properties, in some specific chemical environments can maintain good stability.
Mechanical properties: niobium is soft and ductile.
Electrical properties: good electrical conductivity and superconductivity, its superconducting transition temperature is relatively high, such as in some niobium-based alloys, the superconducting transition temperature can reach high values, in the field of low-temperature superconductivity has important applications.
Other properties: with a certain degree of biocompatibility, its particles or related materials in the biomedical field can be used in the manufacture of medical devices, implants, etc..
Applications
Electronics industry: Niobium has good electrical conductivity and superconductivity, and its metal particles are widely used in the manufacture of electronic components, such as for the production of high-performance capacitors, resistors, integrated circuits and so on. In the field of superconductivity, niobium metal particles can be used to prepare superconducting materials for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment, particle gas pedals and other high-tech fields.
Iron and steel industry: niobium is an important microalloying element, niobium metal particles added to steel, can significantly improve the strength, toughness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of steel and other properties, but also improve the welding performance and processing performance of steel, so it is widely used in the production of high-strength alloy steels, stainless steel, heat-resistant steel and so on.
Aerospace industry: Because niobium metal has high melting point, low density, high strength and other excellent properties, its particles in the aerospace field is also widely used. For example, it can be used to manufacture high-temperature components for aircraft engines, structural materials for space vehicles, etc., which helps to reduce the weight of the vehicle and improve its performance and reliability.
Other fields: niobium metal particles can also be used to prepare catalysts, hydrogen storage materials, biomedical materials and so on. In terms of catalysts, niobium compounds or metal particles can be used as catalysts for certain chemical reactions to improve reaction efficiency and selectivity; in the field of hydrogen storage materials, niobium-based alloys or composites have certain hydrogen storage properties, and they are expected to play an important role in the future storage and utilization of hydrogen energy; in the field of biomedicine, niobium metal is biocompatible, and its particles or related materials can be used in the manufacture of medical devices, implants, etc.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
