Often found and mined in the same place as Tantalum and with many of the same properties, Niobium is commonly chosen as a lower cost, lighter weight alternative.
Where strength and corrosion resistance are required, Niobium can deliver. Where conductivity is critical, Niobium is super-charged. This makes it suitable for a wide range of every day and specialist uses, as diverse as car components and particle colliders.
Being a high temperatures and corrosive materials, niobium sheet and strip is commonly used in the industrial diamonds production, deep draw application and also chemical industrial with medical fields. Additionally niobium is used to make colored jewellery. We can provide bright surface finishing that is perfect for such applications which involve anodizing.
