Niobium Alloy

Superconducting materials industry
Some niobium alloys have high superconducting transition temperature, which is widely used in the manufacture of various industrial superconductors, such as a superconducting generator, high power accelerator magnets, superconducting magnetic energy storage, magnetic resonance imaging equipment etc..
Atomic energy industry
Niobium alloys has a high thermal conductivity, high melting point, good corrosion resistance, and low neutron capture cross section. It is a material that is well suited for atomic reactors. The major uses of niobium alloys in the atomic energy industry include the inclusion of nuclear fuel, the alloys of nuclear fuels, and the structural materials of heat exchangers in nuclear reactors.

Electronic industry
Niobium alloys can be used for the production of capacitors. Single crystal such as lithium niobate and potassium niobate compounds is a new type of Optoelectronics and electronics with good crystal, piezoelectric, pyroelectric and optical properties, has been widely applied to infrared, laser technology and electronic industry. In addition, niobium has high melting point, high emission electron capacity, and has the ability to attract air. It can be used to make electron tubes and other electronic vacuum devices.

Other applications
In the chemical industry, niobium alloys is a high quality acid and liquid metal corrosion resistant material that can be used in cooking machines heaters and coolers. In addition, niobium acid is also an important catalyst.
Niobium alloys has also been applied to the foundry industry, its main role is to form a hard carbide and change of graphite morphology and size, which are often used in the manufacture of automotive cyli.
