Before we introduced the application of niobium in steel and aerospace industry, how can it be used in other fields?

  Atomic energy industry

  Niobium has good thermal conductivity, high melting point, good corrosion resistance, and low neutron capture cross section. It is a very suitable material for atomic reactor. The main uses of niobium in the atomic energy industry include nuclear fuel envelope materials, alloys for nuclear fuel, and structural materials for heat exchangers in nuclear reactors.

   Electronic industry

   Niobate ceramics can be used to make capacitors. Lithium niobate and potassium niobate are new Photoelectronics and electronics crystals. They have good piezoelectric, thermoelectric and optical properties and are widely used in infrared, laser and electronic industries. In addition, niobium has high melting point, strong ability to emit electrons, and has the ability to absorb air. It can be used to make electronic tubes and other electronic vacuum devices.

  Medical field 

  Niobium has good anti-physiological corrosiveness and biocompatibility, it can not interact with various liquid substances in human body, and hardly damage biological tissue. It can be adapted to any sterilization method, so it is often used to manufacture bone plate, skull plate screw, implant root, surgical instruments and so on.

  Other applications

 In the chemical industry, niobiumis a high quality acid and liquid metal corrosion resistant material, which can be used to make cooking, heater, cooler and so on. Niobate is also an important catalyst.

  Niobium is also used in foundry industry. Its main function is to form hard carbides (which are good for wear resistance) and to change the shape and size of graphite sheets, so it is often used to manufacture cylinder heads, piston rings and brake pads of automobiles. In addition, niobium is sometimes used with gold and silver in commemorative coins.

   NB is helpful to increase the transmittance of lenses and is also applied to the manufacture of lenses in the optical industry.

  Niobium can also be used in lighting industry. For example, the alloy and 1% zirconium can be used to make precise brackets of high-efficiency and high-strength sodium vapor street lamps, which makes these components have high thermal strength, excellent formability and sodium vapor corrosion resistance.
