Niobium is a kind of gray metal with luster. High purity niobium has a high ductility, but it becomes hard with the increase of impurity content. Niobium has a very low capture cross section for thermal neutrons and is therefore useful in the nuclear industry.
Niobium and niobium-based alloys feature a high melting point, high-temperature strength, small cross-section of thermal neutron capture, high corrosion resistance, the lowest density of heat-resistant metals (tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, niobium), a high level of manufacturability and weldability.
The high level of ductility, high-temperature strength, corrosion and chemical resistance of niobium make it possible to use it in the production of high-strength low-alloy steels and heat-resistant alloys.
