Uses of niobium

1. Niobium sputtering targets are used to increase the refractive index of glass. This allows optical corrective lenses to be made with lighter, thinner lenses.
2. Niobium sheets can be used to make commemorative coins.
3. Niobium is used to make special stainless steel alloys. About 90% of the extracted niobium is used to make high-grade structural steel.
4. Niobium is used to make a variety of super alloys. These alloys are used to make rocket and jet engines, oil RIGS and gas turbines. Grinders and beams for buildings are also made of alloys made of niobium. These alloys show improved strength at low temperatures.
5. Niobium carbide is used to make sharp knives.
6. Niobium is also used in the manufacture of surface acoustic wave devices, which are an important part of electronic components.
7. Niobium plates, niobium rods are used to make superconducting magnets used in MRI scanners, nuclear magnetic resonance and particle accelerators.
8. Niobium wire, niobium sheets are hypoallergenic and can be used to manufacture implant devices and prosthetics.
9. Niobium plates and Niobium wire are used to make a variety of shiny colored jewelry.
10. Niobium is used as a catalyst for making acrylic acid.
Fortu Tech can produce and process niobium ingot, niobium plate, niobium rod, niobium foil, niobium wire and niobium processing workpiece according to customer's demand.
