Niobium Description

Niobium, also known as Columbium, is a light grey, crystalline and ductile transition metal with a melting point of 2468°C which distinguishes it as a refractory metal. Its chemical properties and its machining characteristics are similar to those of Tantalum.  Niobium is an excellent material for fabricated parts, has applications in the nuclear industry due to its low capture cross section for thermal neutrons, becomes a superconductor at cryogenic temperatures and has the greatest magnetic penetration depth of any element. The jewelry industry has adopted this element for its visual appeal as well as its hypoallergenic characteristics as an alternative to Nickel. Niobium has many other application uses in aerospace, electronics, medical devices and other high technology industries due to its refractory characteristics.
