Medical use of niobium

Niobium is a very heat-resistant metal with a melting point of 2468℃ and a boiling point of 4742℃. But look at this may not feel, let's use "iron" as a contrast, melting point 1538℃, boiling point 2750℃.

Therefore, the earliest "niobium" is used in the aviation and aerospace industry in thermal protection and structural materials, and has considerable use in the nuclear industry.

Now medicine has discovered that niobium tablets can be used to repair skull damage, niobium wire can be used to suture nerves and tendons, niobium strips can replace broken bones and joints, and niobium yarn or niobium mesh made of niobium wire can be used to compensate muscle tissue. And when niobium strips were used to replace broken bones in the human body, muscles actually grew on the niobium strips over a period of time, just as they did on real bones. Therefore, niobium is called a "biophilic metal".

Fortu Tech can produce and process niobium plate, niobium wire, niobium sheet, niobium tube, niobium rod, niobium foil and niobium processing workpiece according to customers' requirements.
