Niobium is a captivating metal with a familiar grey hue that evolves into a subtle bluish tint over prolonged exposure to room-temperature air. This intriguing transformation speaks to its dynamic nature, gracefully adapting to its surroundings. Drawing parallels to its counterpart tantalum, Nb shows exceptional chemical resilience, standing steadfast against a wide array of chemical agents.
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.
