What is Niobium?
Niobium, also known as columbium, is a chemical element with the symbol Nb and atomic number 41. Niobium is a light grey, crystalline, and ductile transition metal. Pure niobium has a Mohs hardness rating similar to that of pure titanium, and it has similar ductility to iron. Niobium oxidizes in the earth’s atmosphere very slowly, hence its application in jewelry as a hypoallergenic alternative to nickel. Niobium is a rare, soft, malleable, ductile, gray-white metal. Niobium exhibits similar but slightly lower resistance against chemicals corrosive to tantalum. It must be placed in a protective atmosphere when processed at even moderate temperatures because it tends to react with oxygen, carbon, the halogens, nitrogen, and sulfur. The metal is inert to acids, even to aqua regia at room temperatures, but is attacked by hot, concentrated acids, and especially by alkalis and oxidizing agents. However, 90% of its total demand arises from the production of high-strength low-alloy steels, whereas rolled niobium–based products account for 4% and superalloys and compounds (oxides and chemicals) account for 3% each.
Manufacturing Process of Niobium
Niobium tubes are manufactured by electron beam melting technology, including seamless niobium tube and welding niobium tube. First, melt the not forging niobium bar into niobium ingot by vacuum electron beam melting technology. There are two ways of smelting – single smelting and multiple smelting. Usually we smelt two times, or it can be more than two times depending on the product specific requirements. Second, forging and axial breakdown niobium ingot and then make it into niobium tube bloom by extrusion process manufacturing, then take it for annealing treatment and cleaning. After several times of rolling and annealing, we get the high quality niobium tube. The performance of this kind of technology is uniform, mainly used to produce small specification pipe and capillary materials, applicable to the production of various specifications of products.
Properties of Niobium
Applications of Niobium
- Used for the heat exchange tube.
- The protect tube of thermometer in petrochemical industry.
- The electronics industry.
- Niobium is used for the production of high-temperature-resistant alloys and special stainless steels.
- Small amounts of niobium impart greater strength to other metals, especially those that are exposed to low temperatures.
- Niobium carbide is used in cutting tools.
- It is used in stainless steel alloys for nuclear reactors, jets, missiles, cutting tools, pipelines, super magnets and welding rods.
- Niobium-tin and niobium-titanium alloys are used as wires for superconducting magnets capable of producing exceedingly strong magnetic fields.
- Niobium is also used its pure form to make superconducting accelerating structures for particle accelerators.
- Niobium alloys are used in surgical implants because they do not react with human tissue.

Prices for Niobium Materials
The price of niobium materials is closely linked to the cost of key raw materials, including iron ore, metal scrap, chromium, nickel, and other alloying elements. Due to their high nickel and chromium content, heat-resistant stainless steel and nickel alloy plates tend to have higher production costs. In contrast, mild steel is among the most affordable steel options, followed by carbon steel, 400 series stainless steel, aluminum, alloy steel, and 300 series stainless steel. On the higher end, specialty alloys like titanium, Inconel, Monel, and Hastelloy are significantly more expensive due to their elevated levels of nickel, chromium, and molybdenum.
