Niobium

Niobium, as an alloy in HSLA (High Strength Low Alloy) specialty steels, is employed in a wide variety of end uses, such as beams and girders in buildings and offshore drilling towers, special industrial machinery, oil and gas pipelines, railroad equipment, and automobiles. Niobium is also used as an additive in superalloys for jet and turbine engines and as a carbide in machining cutting tools. Its volume in nuclear, aerospace, and superconducting applications is increasing each year. As a metal, niobium was first used in the atomic reactor program. Because niobium is relatively lightweight and can maintain its strength at elevated temperatures, it is used extensively in aerospace equipment and missiles. Since niobium exhibits excellent corrosion resistance to liquid metal, it is used in sodium vapor lamps for highway lighting. Alloyed with titanium or tin, it has become the primary material used in superconducting applications.
Zirconium Research Corp. was established to supply Hi-temp alloy manufacturers and steel companies with high quality feed stocks and gettering materials of zirconium, titanium, hafnium, vanadium, tantalum and niobium. We have expanded to offer transition metal analysis, certification, alloy sorting and sizing. We can work with your material or provide your operation with clean certified products.
