Characteristics: Niobium has a similar structure to Tantalum. It has a very high melting point of around 2470°C. It has excellent corrosive resistance and has good cold ductility.
Processing:Sintering, Orging system controller, Straightening, Polished, Machine plus etc.
Specification of Nb and Nb Alloy Plate/Sheet |
Standard | ASTM B393-2003 ASTM B394-98 |
Material | UNS R04200 Reactor grade unalloyed niobium UNS R04210 Commercial grade unalloyed niobium UNS R04251 Reactor grade Niobium-1% zirconium UNS R04261 Commercial grade u Niobium-1% zirconium Alloying niobium with 1% zirconium increases the strength of niobium, and decreases slightly its elongation. The increased strength is very advantageous especially at temperatures above 600 °C |
