FAQs
Q1. What is Niobium Rod?
Niobium rod is a solid, cylindrical piece made from niobium metal, widely used in applications requiring high resistance to heat, corrosion, and radiation. It is used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, medical, and electronics.
Q2. What are the key properties of Niobium Rod?
- High Melting Point: Niobium has a high melting point of 2,468°C (4,474°F), making it suitable for high-temperature applications.
- Corrosion Resistance: Niobium is highly resistant to corrosion, especially in harsh chemical environments such as acids and high temperatures.
- Superconductivity: Niobium is known for its superconducting properties at low temperatures, making it valuable for high-tech applications.
Q3. How is Niobium Rod manufactured?
Niobium rods are typically produced by a process called extrusion or rolling, where niobium metal is heated and passed through dies to form rods of the desired diameter. This process may involve vacuum or inert gas environments to avoid oxidation. The rods are then processed to the required diameter and length.
